Ok, I'm thinking of making a textbased RPG I can provide costs I have £70 to get it started.. which is enough or a good host etc.. But I need help I can Program PHP But not very well, i'd need help nothing to big, to be honest it's a bit of a rip / copying idea off of 'Kings of Chaos' It basially works like that but you can have a items & weapons and you can equip armor etc.. to your character.. I will need help though, if anyone can program for me for free.. you'll also be an administrator and get credit when you sign up in the T&Cs your names will be there.So PHP DESIGNERS PLEASE POST HERE!
Note if your just here to rip don't bother replyin do not slate ideas please, there is no point. Thankyou

If your an Okish coder yourself, why not just start doing it yourself, if you get stuck, post specific problems and quearts here and people will for the most part be happy to help you out. If you want someone to do pretty much the whole thing for you, your posting in the wrong forum, you want ether requests or staff to hire a coder.

Indeed hosting a popular RPG will cost that much, infact a really popular one will cost a massive amount more, but RPG's don't magically become super popular over night, even myspace didnt. They start small, a few users don't use much bandwidth, it gets more popular, it grows, more bandwidth is used, but more ad revenue is made. When it gets quite popular, yes he may need a more powerful host/server. But until then a nice small one will do just fine o.0 RPG's popularty grows, as does the specs required to run them, idealy the server used should grow in capatabilty at a simlar pace. But why put in invest in an infulstruture you dont need.

Well i posted as in saying, don't rip games ( not saying you would or woulden't) as some person called kyle already ripped games on this forum and text based games and got caught, and nearly big actions nearly happened to him.

Thanks for your rep i will get it removed it invalid and pointless rep.

There are a few more slates needed before someone may actually help you (its the the forum rules that we have to give you atleast 7 slates). So I might aswell do a few in this post:

- Will you ever offer pay?
- What are you going to do?
- Are you just going to do nothing and take the glory?

Im going to do templates css & html & graphics & ill tell you what to do. not as in what but what and how to code certain pags about 12 dynamic pages will be needed.

It isnt hard to make a text rpg you can use normal hosting and you can download the coding [although it will probably be rubbish] but getting the game popular and used is hard as text is boring most people would rather play runescape or something.

I know of a child who can write his own operating systems and is 8? hes the kid of a computer science lecturer though, whom is somewhat fanatical o.0 which may explain it.

Plus ive been capable of making one for a few years now, it just never took my fancy, o.0 Php only takes a few months to get to grips with at max

includeing header/footer for multiple pages is a little bit basic for my needs, i updated thybag to a modular arcutecture and seperated the skinning features so basically the pages themselves just contain the content and a few varibles defining how there to be skined, when loaded a function is envoked that applys the skinning to them, which means i can quite easy allow thybag to run on multiple skins, with vastly different html/css source formating documents :D

Right, basically you want to make a game right? Unfortunately for you, you can't be bothered and won't learn PHP properly yourself and would rather have someone else do it? Anyone can do anything they like more or less if they work at it. If you want to build word processing software you can do it, if you want to build a game you can do it, but it takes time. It doesn't happen over night. My advice to you is forget the game, spend a while learning PHP (if your not an idiot should only take a few months to grip it) and then build it slowly, take your time and look into how these things are built. In the end you will feel allot more satisfaction from the fact you built it on your own and not someone you paid.

Hope that helped you to some extent. :)

Actually, so far 4 hours has produced a basic game engine, although theres probably a day or so's work left in it, the movement algorithm's object avoidance routeens still need alot of work, plus i need to build in the chat server on top, and finish designing the item object structure.

Granted, the current alpha isnt particaly massive, the testing room only supports about 20 or so people max.

Although ive been consiering adopting some codeing from the Freevolution isometric game engine to really make it massive + add a proximity based data input system, to lower server strain... although thats someway off :p
