Bitcoin Forum

So I found a great and unique idea for making a text-based game with Bitcoins as its currency.

I need devs (PHP / JS probably since it's going to be a multiplayer text-based game)
We can chat somewhere or maybe through email? PM me.

We can share 50:50 profit or I can pay you through some means.
I have a VPS setup so we can test whatever we have on it.

I'm in the middle of developing a semi-text based bitcoin game now, it will be going live in a few months. I've been contemplating making it into something that could be modified/rebranded if someone wanted to run a server themselves.  :)

If you want to know the idea, send me a PM.
I'm looking for Developers

We're thinking of using HYPER as the main currency

I'm more of a asp.net/c# developer, so if you're specifically looking for php/js, I really wouldn't be able to help much.

I'm interested in helping out, but I don't know PHP and JS :(

I would love to be a tester if you guys needed. I don't know much about coding, however I have tested (alpha/beta) a lot of programs, applications and games.
If not, still sounds like a good and interesting concept!

We can just start with something bare-bones and simple and work our way up from there
and sure, we'd love testers. We'll keep you in mind :)

Well MANY moons ago, I played the most addictive text based game, I have ever played. {{Batmud}}

It had the ultimate MUD experience and a FULL economy with it's own currency and trade system. If they accepted a REAL currency, I would have left my job, to play this game 24/7. *No joke

It was just crazy how immersive this game was and how time and real life dissapear within that virtual text based world.

If you want a award WINNING text based game, you should investigate the possibility to create something like that.  ;D ;D

See ---> https://www.bat.org/   {Was text based, when I played it}

 

Wow great. Reminds me of a game which I liked the most.

Why the space theme?

The latest trend in gaming is "Zombies" and "Vapires"  ;D ......Killing aliens should be the next best thing then.  ;)

You have a lot of work, to set the scene and background.... some people think a text based game is less work, but it's acctually a lot more involved than that.

Good luck with your project.

Have you looked at huntercoin.org yet?

If you guys need graphic designer for your game projects,
you can contact this guy: http://logodynamic.blogspot.com/p/sold-logos.html (http://logodynamic.blogspot.com/p/sold-logos.html)

He already make game artworks for many games (you can see some preview in portfolio ),
and accept BTC as payment option

We've decided that HYPER seems to be a good alt currency to use with the game,
and we've started going along with some developers :)

We'll also be keeping in mind some logo makers and other contacts too!

Thanks, it actually has zombies and aliens in it as well. There's a backstory for people interested in a campaign style of gameplay, but there's also a quick-play part of the game that's very similar to a dice-based game for those that simply want a fast paced game without the deep dive. I'll have a public alpha version running soon for testing. :D
