Hey guys!

Check out Bitcoin Mafia!

It's the latest greatest mafia text MMORPG!

http://mafia.bitcointrading.com/

It's not quite finished yet, but the game is functional, I am just adding the finishing touches!

I am going to be adding a lot of Bitcoin functionality in the next few days and weeks, I'm tinkering with it a little bit each day and it's turning out to be a wonderfully orange piece of internet.

woow, i'm in, was a big fan of mafia wars on facebook until i closed my account heh

keep up the good work man  :D

edit: i even have a ref link yeah http://mafia.bitcointrading.com/signup.php?REF=13

thanks guys, welcome to the mafia! 

Get more people playing.

Very cool. I put up a Seals ad too.

Do you want minor bug/improvement reports here or somewhere else?

Absolutely, post 'em here!

Be sure to check out the Seals With Clubs page in Bitcoin Mafia, you can play poker without leaving the site!

That's the plan!!  Pretty decent first week so far, if each day we have more members than the previous day, it is surely a success! 

If anyone has any suggestions for new features be sure to post them here, and if there are any PHP masters who could contribute to the site I can pay you for your services! :)

bump!

can someone give me a promo code?

I know my way around PHP. What are you looking to have made?

Speed up the recharge times a bit. I only checked it out the first day and then lost interest because I would have had to wait an entire day just to do anything more.

The tiered setup is good, where more beneficial actions should not be repeatable as often. I would pick more low end actions and structure them or the recharge so they can be done more often. And there should be a few more things that can be done almost all the time, no matter what. Your goal should be to have the player spend as much time as possible on the site each day. And then monetize the piss out of it. In the least annoying way possible of course. ;p

cheers

Hmm, well the higher level you get to, the more energy you have to spend...  But i'll see if I can make the energy go up every minute slightly instead of 5 minutes.

Signed up. I'm liking it.

How long is a minute in the game compared to real life? I'm in the hospital for 50 minutes (gametime), but it has taken me ~ 5 hours (irl), and I'm still not healed yet.

How do I drink a potion that I found on the streets?

Important to note that payments are handled manually, I didn't see this on the site.

Never played a mafia type game before, I can see the potential now. Nice work.

Yup, payments are handled unhackably manually.

50 minutes is a long time to be in the hospital, you gotta watch out if you get shot or something.  I just modified the hospital/jail timers by 3, let's see how it affects the game.

Which potion did you find?

small potion, I have 4 of them. Says medical, restore 100 health. I also have a kitchen knife, and I bought a weapon and some armor.

How do I drink the potion to restore health? How do I equip the knife? How do I put on the armor? I feel I'm missing something basic.

I like the feel of the game, maybe something I can leave up all day and check every now and then.

I changed the small potion to credit you 100 health and the kitchen knife to have 5 attack damage.  To equip items just go to the inventory and select 'use' or 'equip' next to the item name.  It would appear that the inventory screen could use a little modification, working on that now. 

I have to go through all the items and add defense/attack ratings, I forgot that some items can be found which have no ratings so I'll try get that all done today. 

I'm glad you like the game!  I've been concentrating on the layout/design of it, right now I am trying to make a highscores chart for the arcade so we could potentially have weekly Pac-Man contests or something. 

error with the script, just be patient we'll get that sorted out asap.

aaaaaaaaaaaand we're good!!!

Thanks for your work, first time playing this type of game. I like it.

Thank Fizzgig!  Big plans for the future  :)

bump! new feature = lottery!

bump! new feature = stock market!

Amazing, things like this is what Bitcoin needs...  Any possibility of selling game cash for say 1/2 the BTC -> Cash rate? =D

Hmm right now people are purchasing at the posted rate and it wouldn't be very fair to reduce the price.  It's pretty reasonable!

I think i can explain that better... if we could sell our in-game money for bitcoins = )  Just a high hope question...

Excellent option :)

I.. really really like that idea.  But perhaps it would be best if we had a cash -> BTC market where you could sell it to other users, not the bank, and then it would sort of be like an exchange.  I am adding new features literally daily and I think that is a fantastic idea!  I am also going to make it so you can post items for sale in bitcoin or cash, plus auction things off, purchase/sell houses all in Bitcoin.  Keep the great ideas coming!

bump!

amazing new feature, stay tuned!!

bump! you can now deposit real bitcoin into the site and soon there will be many bitcoin games to play!

shameless bump

Love the fact with the code I started with 1337 money :D and the colour scheme :P

thx GLaDanny :D  I do love the orange and try to keep things as leet as possible ;)

160 members, that's not bad.

And growing!  :)

bump

190 Mobsters, nice!  :)

Sounds like you got momentum. Any chance you'll hire me for a little bit of work on your game? I am a coffeescript/canvas ninja!

That is actually a possibility.  Right now I have someone working on parts of the game like the payment handling, but I think there is still a lot of work to do on the game, if you think you can expand on the game by making new things to do, I'd be more than happy to bring you on board!  PM'd.

This reminds me of that browser game downtown-mafia.
