New online game


I want to present you a new online game made in php, using mysql:

Year is 2878: 7 years since FRSS returned, 2 years since the aliens tried to take control.
Earth is now a dead planet, everywhere lurking machines, aliens or humans that are trying so survive in the harsh environment. A long war that doesn't foresees any winners but only a long way for each of the sides.

Which will prevail only time will tell, letting us 2 options: to be observers or to take part in this great war.

This is a web page made by me in php. I am not representing a game company, I'm a sole programmer and I wanted to show you my work hoping that someone will tell me what's good or what's bad about it. I know it could be seen like advertising but I have posted this message because I need some advices.

I am sorry that I was misunderstand, if it's necessary you can delete my post.

Can you tell us more about the game - how you put it together, your motivation for doing so, etc etc?

Sorry to interrupt, I am new here but IMO, your post doesn't look like you're really needing advices but advertising the site.

Ok, I admit that my post "sounds" like advertising, but my intention was to attract some users to help me continue with my work. This is not a commercial game and I am not earning money from it, so I didn't think that writing about it will be a problem. I am sorry.

XavierP is giving you a chance to explain further. You should take that chance.

Your initial description sounds intriguing. Please provide more detail. Is it multi-player? What are the characters? Can you play both sides? Does it have weapons? Describe the weapons. How does it work?

XavierP has made it clear that you have an opportunity to explain the game, the site, and your purpose. He has not closed this thread as being advertising, which he can - and will - do if he thinks it is. Mostly I believe that is because you have replied to posts.

So, tell us about your game.

It's a typical multiplayer browser-based game. I have been working on it since November 2005, all I did, I did as a hobby.

If you want to play End of Us you have first to choose a race (human, machine or alien). The basics are the same for all races except a small power bonus bonus (in attack or defense). The game play is based on turns (called Action Points). In the game you can buy weapons and make a lot of upgrades to advance.

What I want for this game to be different is that it should continue without any restarts but with continuous improvements (like new weapons, unit types, upgrades, etc.) I want to build a community around it, a community that will help me with new ideas for the future of the game. Also a thing that makes a difference is that it is a completely free game, with no hidden costs and it will remain this way.

Than you for the chance you gave me to present End of Us and I apologize once more if I have made a mistake presenting this game in here.

The english translations (I'm assuming it's a translation) are very good - but not perfect. Since much of the background, mood, and tone of the game is given in narrative prose, this should be improved upon. I haven't created a login or tried to play it yet (I'm at work, after all ), but will give a try later.

Do you intend that this grow into a MMORPG?

If php and mysql, can we assume you're running it on a LAMP configuration?

I don't know what LAMP means...

For the moment I try to rewrite everything so it will meat the XHTML standards and I will correct any language mistakes that appear.

It's a MMORPG, but a browser based one not a 3D one. It uses php+mysql and I will insert some AJAX functions.

Yes, it's running on a LAMP configuration. Any suggestions about the game?

Do you need anyone's help on it, with translations, documentation, programming, etc.?

I'm interested in helping you out.

Oh, and are you willing to eventually release information on how you did it?
