Artists and Programmers?

I can always help out with that. If there is anything I've figured out on the job a second programmer always finds the easy answers that one overcomplicates.

Are you fluent in PHP, Javascript or Smarty?

I am decent with php and I learnt a lot of Javascript. Smarty I have not worked with but from what I've seen it looks like a mix of Python and C++ pointer hell.

I find smarty to be a lot like php but rather awkward to work with.

It's a pointer thing I'd assume. They get messy.

I think of it like one of those Alice in Wonderland signs you know, this way! no this way! no that way! no this way!

The art design is made easier due to so much reference material that is available. If you decide that you need some input or feedback on your ideas, or some general ideas artwise, give me a holler at bofromkentwood@yahoo.com. It's easier to reach me there because I'm not so much a forum whore anymore, been working on my truck and when not doing that or gaming I'm doing my 3D modeling (Now just to actually finish one of the 50 or so models I have floating around on my comp hehe)

Thanks for the input Mikal. I'm still pondering in my head how the design would come together. Honestly I'm not even sure I would be good enough to program it. Meditate on this I will

Would it be just like Mobsters? Or more like Travian? (www.travian.us) Check that game out (you won't get far unless you catch a server that just restarted...it's all about guilding up for the endgame). It is a pretty good idea, would hate to try and code that though, it is VERY complex for a non-action browser game. Non-action being you don't have any animations.

Probably more like Travian

Ok, if you can shoot me a synopsis of the types of things you want in it, I can see if I can make some matching graphics for ya.

Putting it on the back burner atm. I did some research and the market is flooded with similar games. Until I can come up with something unique I'm gonna hold off.

Did some checking around and there is a WWII one already called WWII Warfare. Did some more checking however and there are some open source browser game code packages available. Gonna see how that works.

What if it was sort of like X-COM? You could research and whatnot. Minus the actual turn-based combat that is. Not sure how the pvp would work though, or perhaps it could be more single player based to start.
