Hey everyone
*begin shamless promotion*
I have started developing an online web based game like, but yet so different, then pimpwar (just use that name because people are familar with it.) Anyway I am calling the game MafiaStar and I have a good portion of it completed and playable. I would love some help and support from the anandtech forum (also right now I do not have advertisments just places for a banner add, if anandtech wanted, for the time being, I could put up an anandtech banner for free.. I do need a space filler, lol. Anyway here is what I need from Anandtech members.
Developers - I could use some help in the development part of the game, for the most part I can handle everything, but a little help never hurts.
Types of Developers Needed:
- ASP/SQL Developers
- Graphics Developers
- Website Design Developers
I also need Beta Testers (will only be taking a limited ammount)
Once we go into full beta test mode, the registration page will require a password. All beta testers will be given a password to register a character and beta testing will begin. Beta testers should try to exploit the game in any way they can and report any bugs and cheats they find. This will ensure a smooth ride when the game goes public. A few of the most active and top beta testers will be given the oportunity to be Game admins.
Idea's/Content:
A game is only as good as the ideas and gameplay behind it. As with web based games it must be fun, addictive and offer rich gameplay. Anyone that wishes to submit something to add to the game please feel free and I will see if it fits into the games theme and possibly implement it. If your idea is implemented you will have a free reserved spot with no banner adds and the ability to always log on for the entire game's history, as well as being mentioned in the games credits.
Current Development:
Everything is going pretty good right now, have not had any problems (other then the other day the Dev SQL server crashed and I lost everything on the sql server so I had to rebuild the database, which has caused a few bugs to develop in the code which are being ironed out right now. Right now the game may seem slow to everyone, this is normal as the development server is in Australia so that is where the lag in the game will come from. Please note that the real game will not use this server, the hosting company I use does not allow me to use enterprise manager to admin the sql server therefore I have to get the database perfect and JUST like I want it before I export it to the real server. I will stay on the dev sql server until we are done with beta testing, which at that time you will see a 500% speed increase.
If you are interested in helping and becoming part of the Mafia Star team then please reply back to this post.
