online game dev

Hey guys,
I'm here to announce my new project. It will be an online game with graphics similar to those found on zelda on the SNES, with the game play of it found on diablo.

I am planning on running the servers as battle.net does, so I cannot call it a MMORPG, as much as I would like to. The server supplies the chat lobby only, then the game is created through the players themselves. I figured this would be the only sufficient way to be able to save bandwith.

Anyhow, I need help for this project to actually happen. Here is what I need at the moment.

One of the main things I need is a server to run the game server off. Possibly also run the website, but that would be a bonus. Since the game runs like battle.net does, it should not use too much bandwith. The server would take care of chat lobby, and created games. Once the game starts, the players run the server on their own.

I need an graphic guy. Basicly this person would do everything to do with the graphics. This includes the sprites, the terrain, and also graphics found on the website.

I need a webmaster. The webmaster will need experience with installing/maintaining forums, and preferably knowledge of php. Flash would be a bonus

I will also need someone experienced with encryption. I've never played around with this, so help would be needed.

Another bonus would be someone experience with security, a.k.a. hacking. The game and server will have to be as close to bullet proof as possible.

If you are interested in any of these categories, let me know. Please post examples of your previous work. Also, even if you have the skills to take a position, please make sure you have the time to dedicate. Thanks.

Yes that's exacly what I said. I'm taking all the credit. I will place my name under every god damn title there is. Are you a ****en idiot? Do you think every single game existing right now is created by one person? No. It's not. But of course because I ask for help, your 12 year old mind jumps to the conclusion that I plan on taking all the credit. I'm doing the main game programming dip ****, you try to make a game alone, and finish it! I'm building a god damn team, EVERYONE GETS CREDIT!

Sinz · 03-08-2006, 11:03 AM

:ROFL: 12 you think im twelve
and you dont put names under things you put them in credits
and as for making a game alone ill give it to you there i cant cause i dont know how to program cause i have a life you know that thing where you go out in the sun and talk to friends.

anyways good luck with your game
this aint the flame board so im not going to look at this thread again cause it would only generate more flaming
as a leaving note from this thread
