   Text Based, Nation Building Game
Project name:Star Wars: ConquestBrief Overview:I've been working on a browser based, nation building game that is set in the Star Wars universe (around Episode V). It would be similar to the games Cyber Nations (http://www.cybernations.net/) and OGame (http://ogame.org/), and sort of a fusion of their features.I've got nearly all of the numbers and formulas worked out, and I've started working on the website and database, but I don't know anything about coding, and I don't have time to learn at the moment so I need help in finishing this up. It should be a few months work, tops.Target aim:The goal would simply be to have a great online, nation building game without the usual game-breaking bugs and exploits. There's a lot of people out there playing these games, but there's an enormous amount of untapped potential there.The IP isn't that important, and it would take around ten minutes to change all the names, but a lot of people are familiar with the lore and it'd really help people to get immersed in the game. Compensation:Obviously, changing money is out of the question, as it's based on the Star Wars IP. At best, we could accept donations to keep the server running. The only real compensation is having a decent game to play while you're at work.Technology:Since it's a text based game, all it really requires is a website and a database. Again, I'm not a coder, but I've been using HTML, C#, and MySQL.Talent needed:I've got a lot of the numbers done, I just need one or two people to do the actual heavy lifting. If you've set up a forum before, it should be along those lines.Website:My Forum: http://www.rlmmo.comContacts:Send me a PM here or at my forums or catch me on AIM (bissrok). But the fastest way would be to send me an e-mail at esl269@gmail.comAdditional Info:I know I'm new at this whole thing, but I never intended to do the coding part, and I kind of got stuck with it. I would have dropped the project, but I really do think it would be a lot of fun to play. The thought of destroying my friend's cities with a squad of TIE Bombers is really all that's kept this alive.If you haven't played a game like this before, there's a lot of politics, a lot of war, lots of drama, ect. The goal is to build up your city, gather an alliance, and scare the rest of the planet into submission. Well, that's one way to play, at least.You can spend several minutes a day on these game or several hours. Unlike a lot of MMOs, for these types of games you really are dependent on the other players (for resources and protection, among other things). For the serious player, the forums are just as important as the actual game. It's not for people with a low tolerance for drama, but it can be a hell of a lot of fun.If you're interested, I have a site set up listing all the concepts and numbers I have worked out as well as the beginning's of the website (which, to be honest, will probably be scrapped). I didn't post the links, because my host crapped out, but if you're interested, I can send you that information.
