Hey guys. A while back I posted a thread about creating a site (MMORPG?) which would capture the essence of the OLD neopets (2001 - 2008 ish). It got rowdy in the thread, and then got taken down. I took the information you guys left me to work with, and I started development on this idea. To be perfectly honest, I can't do this all by myself, so I'm looking for a few people who can spend some of their free time "volunteering" for this site. Eventually you WILL be paid. Before I go into more detail about the site and what I'd like to accomplish, here are the positions I'm looking to fill: Artist - You will be in charge of everything graphical on the site. I'm decent at photoshop, but we need someone with good cartoony skills. I created a layout of my own, but I'd like to see what you can come up with. Programmer - I'd like to consider myself the primary programmer because I will be doing 90% of the programming, but I need someone who can write up quick things and come up with new ideas. And maybe someone with some really good ideas on how the site will work, and a storyline for the whole site to be based around (ive got my own ideas, but more input would be great). I can't release all of my ideas and details on how exactly the site will turn out to be because I don't want people stealing this idea, and It's still in the beginning stages. If you're interested in becoming part of something that might actually become something, then please send me a PM and I'd love to tell you more about what I'm looking to accomplish in this site, and you can have your input too. Then, once I tell you all of the details, this thread will make more sense. .
I'm not great with ideas for a site in general, but as i think ive pmed you before if you have a battledome component pm me and i can head up content on the bd
Yeah I remember talking to you for a little. I think... But yeah, I'll definitely need someone to come up with stats and some sort of arena/PvP module and how users can interact by fighting eachother.
well I'd love to make it similar to the way neopets works, except execute things id have loved to see in the bd, have more stats than simply str and def meaning anything, if movement actually had a bearing on the neopets bd it would be amazing i could handle designing weapons, abilities, a "matchup system" similar to the way leagues work on neopets and i could design plots and wars and other bd events and tournaments
I feel like you would be a good person to handle events--plots, wars, battle tournaments--after the battling system is complete. I'd really like to maybe get the entire game based around battling and making your character "strong" or "well equipped" if you know what I mean. But I also think we should also include the "virtual economy" factor into things. For example: you gather money, gear, food and water from the economy, and apply it to the battle aspect of the site
id love that, but i also wouldnt be opposed to have other site alternatives, like on neopets there are bders, there are avatar collectors, there are trophy collectors, there are stamp collectors, rare item collectors pet dress up people im not sure what you intend on putting into your website, but adding some of these things may not be a bad draw will there be things like boards and avatars? and flash games and high score tables and stuff like that?
I haven't considered the "games" portion of the site yet because I'd need to find someone who can program in actionscript or java for the web based games. I'm definitely looking into having a forum/chat board set up for the users to interact. I'd like it to be more social then just a board and private messaging though.
ya that would be great well im not great at providing the ideas, but if u have something u want an opinion on im more than happy to let you know what i think or how we could make it work better just as everything progresses let me know whats going on
Imagine how many users would come over if it had awesome BD... For interaction i personally prefer the neopets board setup apposed to a forum, boards make it feel like a game while having that social option if you feel lonely, this way people could advertise items/equipment and not clog up the forum.
I'd like to offer my services to be an active member when the site opens (so I have the oldest account) and backseat modding skills.
I'll join as soon as it opens. I doubt my art will be up to scratch but I can help out in others ways.
I don't have much time to offer, but once the site is online and running, lemme know... I'm pretty good at finding bugs and showing flaws in the coding
I can't help much with art or programming, but I can help with modding and being active. I'd loveee to help
I could try some programming...but I can't really be making programs and all, but I can be active, mod, and that stuff. As long as the admin is active
I'm up for helping with storylines and events. Possibly helping with the economy part of it also. I could also moderate, stay active, look for bugs, and just help provide ideas.
