Who wants to make a game?

[Gurm]

Ok, folks. I have recently once again revisited my old notebook, and am dredging up the idea of an RPG.

But not just any RPG. A fusion between MUD technology and MMOGs.

I have a vision of a game system that will span multiple servers - where anyone with a fast connection can help host the game.

I have a vision of a game universe where players can modify the game in realtime, and admins can make major changes to the scenery while the game is running!

The thing is... I need help. Lots of it. I need fellow programmers, artists, suckers... err... BETA TESTERS (*wink*), and people who just generally won't mind running some persistent network code on their machine so that we can test things.

Want more information? Message me or e-mail me.

This could be REALLY good. I'm already trying to link up with a couple other groups with similar goals. Who wants in?

HEY!!! Some people enjoy blowing up their computers with Beta software. What fun are PC's if they never crash?

Can you run that by me again???

[KvHagedorn]

Who me? You mean you don't just automatically know what I was talking about there? What are you, some unsophisticated dumbass or something?

[RichL]

Sounds fun, if rather complicated.
Why not just run a MUD?

Whats it going to be about anyway?

How about :

MURC-MUD!
The quest for the Holy Parnhelia
Undertake an epic journey across time space and unreality in your efforts to uncover the rumored Next Generation Matrox Card!

FIGHT the hordes of NVidiots!
PUZZLE over your ATI drivers!
WISH you'd put up with your old G400 and hadnt bought a Radeon!
SOLVE RIDDLES from Matrox's PR department.
CURSE the Matrox Beta-Boys for being smug buggers who like you to think then know something you dont!

LOL

*ahem* apparently I used some Acronyms.

MUD = Multi-User D... (some people say Dungeon, some say Domain)

MOO = Multi-User Object Oriented

Basically MUDs and MOOs are persistent online worlds that are 100% object-oriented. Everything in the game is an Object.

Heh.. thanks for the clarification.

* heh * I wrote a pen and paper RPG once.

An I remember clearly what a back-breaking load of work that was!

Ditto to that. I've done my own scenarios using others rules (GURPS, Cyberpunk 2020, Tunnels and Trolls, Car Wars) and even hashed together my own game systems once or twice when occasion needed it.

If you want some prose etc, I'll be happy to lend a hand. Unfortunately as far as art goes, I cant draw curtains.

[Marshmallowman]

hmm...what kind of programing

[KeiFront]

Yep, which programming language? Beta testing sounds nice

[Technoid]

Probably "C#"
