working on a site based game

[hallsofvallhalla]

I have been wanting for some time to build a game for the site. A PBBG using the forums accounts. Even add stats to the forum profiles and stuff.

One system that has always intrigued me is the RogueVAmpires system which is now used in multiple game
Hells Paradise
UnrealPlains
Pirate Warfare

and a few others.

basically it is a very simple system. You train your player and then go out and search areas, can end up in jail where other players can break you out, ect...
I am sure the source to it is out there somewhere but I could easily build this myself then add my own features to match what we want. Start small and build as we go type of thing.

My idea is to have a sci-fi version

Arenas - fight creatures, hold events, contests, ect...
Forges - Craft weapons and armor
Jail - Rob other players or houses or even shops, also go on crimes...but can end up in jail,,will have a forum style chat system
Hospital - same as jail but for the wounded
Trainer - can train your player in all sorts of skills
Harvest - Lumber and things. Each town has a certain amount of each per day
Travel - Can only travel outside of a town if you own a car...the better the car the further you can travel

and a few more as we go. Like gambling, car war contests..ect...

Sounds interesting and fun...especially breaking each other out of jail. HEHE!

I was thinking of having a few crime type of things where you can blackmail another player. Success means the other player goes to jail, failure means you go Also depending on how well you roll it might or might not tell the player who blackmailed them.

Or it might tell them which guild/clan they are in

my other idea is a farm based game. Can plant vegitibles and fruits and have to maintain them, Can lumber and stuff to build buildings and fences. Much like Harvest moon but a web based version. Can also bake and create things then enter them in contests. We all could put our best entries. Like best cow, best food, ect... it would auto judge it by the best ingredients and turn out. Players can trade and sell their goods in the auction or at a auto market.

The best part of Harvest Moon was wooing the village girls! It kind of gave an end-goal and a point to all of the farming. If you make the farming-based game, I think you should have that in there as well

haha I definitely agree!!

I decided to go with a more Harvest moon feel

try it here

use wasd keys to move, click on the plants in the panel to plant them. They don't do anything more as of right now. Just concept. Hopefully the screen size is right. It might end up being out of whack per monitor size. I will have to work on that.

This currently DOES NOT WORK ON IE(go figure) but is fixable.

Basically each person will get their own plot. You have to buy more. I will also have a house and animal plots and should be easy to make it where you can visit others plots and have a town to buy seeds.

This is fun, you could defiantly go somewhere with this idea.

This is in firefox.

I know this sounds really noobish but how did you code that?

[hallsofvallhalla]

javascript

your screen size is different than mine and my wrapper is centering the screen so yeah it has issues. Normally you would be bound inside the center box. I may either push everything to the top left or make my top left half the screensize. half the screen size

you can actually hit control and + or - sign to get the bounding boxes right just to see how it should look and play
