Making A Php Based Online Game Would anybody like to help

[sonoftheclayr 0]

I, along with several others, am making an online game called Galactic Rifts (at the moment).

It is a sci-fi text or graphical based game set in the future where you have to conquer other players and dominate.

The address is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ so if anybody would like to help come along and sign up.

We are currently in the planning stage so any new ideas will be welcome.

Hmmm. The particular link you have given is a forum hosted at InvisionFree (that I believe is presently called ZetaBoards). Am I understanding right? Do you want to create a game where people post their action in a forum, and the game proceed? I am curious as to how, it could be viable to put an almost strategy based game in a forum. Because, I too have tired an endevour like this, but that was for an Roleplaying games. The forum/bulletin-board system is very suited for a RPG game.

Or did I get it all wrong? The forum is just for the discussions between the developers, and you would be creating the game from the scratch on another server using PHP?

In any case, I think you should give the following link a vist: Almost everything about making a game. I am sure you could contribute some more over there to the discussion and also learn.

We would be creating the game from scratch on a different server (we did have one but that disappeared)

I'm making a php and mySQL text based game by myself. I suggest going to planetsourcecode and searching for ALS (Advance Login System) and customizing it from there. It already has registration, email activation, log in, secured pages, and member levels! (There are pages where member's can go into) It really helped me a lot. Anyways, good luck with the game!
