  • Who wants to make a game?

    Ok, folks. I have recently once again revisited my old notebook, and am dredging up the idea of an RPG.

    But not just any RPG. A fusion between MUD technology and MMOGs.

    I have a vision of a game system that will span multiple servers - where anyone with a fast connection can help host the game.

    I have a vision of a game universe where players can modify the game in realtime, and admins can make major changes to the scenery while the game is running!

    The thing is... I need help. Lots of it. I need fellow programmers, artists, suckers... err... BETA TESTERS (*wink*), and people who just generally won't mind running some persistent network code on their machine so that we can test things.

    Want more information? Message me or e-mail me.

    gurm42@hotmail.com (email and MSN messenger)
    gurm42 (Yahoo and AIM)
    4503460 (ICQ)

    This could be REALLY good. I'm already trying to link up with a couple other groups with similar goals. Who wants in?

    I'm the least you could do
    If only life were as easy as you
    I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
    If only life were as easy as you
    I would still get screwed

    HEY!!! Some people enjoy blowing up their computers with Beta software. What fun are PC's if they never crash?

            Who me? You mean you don't just automatically know what I was talking about there? What are you, some unsophisticated dumbass or something?

              Sounds fun, if rather complicated.
              Why not just run a MUD?

              Whats it going to be about anyway?

              How about :

              MURC-MUD!
              The quest for the Holy Parnhelia
              Undertake an epic journey across time space and unreality in your efforts to uncover the rumored Next Generation Matrox Card!

              FIGHT the hordes of NVidiots!
              PUZZLE over your ATI drivers!
              WISH you'd put up with your old G400 and hadnt bought a Radeon!
              SOLVE RIDDLES from Matrox's PR department.
              CURSE the Matrox Beta-Boys for being smug buggers who like you to think then know something you dont!

                  *ahem* apparently I used some Acronyms.

                  MUD = Multi-User D... (some people say Dungeon, some say Domain)

                  MOO = Multi-User Object Oriented

                  Basically MUDs and MOOs are persistent online worlds that are 100% object-oriented. Everything in the game is an Object.

                      * heh * I wrote a pen and paper RPG once.

                      An I remember clearly what a back-breaking load of work that was!

                      There is no weakness, but to cringe and despair because one thinks oneself weak.
                      For so long as one´s will is undefeated one is strong, for so long as the desire for revenge still endures.

                        Ditto to that. I've done my own scenarios using others rules (GURPS, Cyberpunk 2020, Tunnels and Trolls, Car Wars) and even hashed together my own game systems once or twice when occasion needed it.

                        If you want some prose etc, I'll be happy to lend a hand. Unfortunately as far as art goes, I cant draw curtains.

                              Probably "C#"
                              If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.
