[ANN] Nxtopia -- a MMORPG built on-top of the NXT network

[guigui371]

Guys why not modifiy the existing game priston tale and adding the features about the merchant and creating objects.

there is the official game but also copies running on private servers.


Sorry if it's irrelevant

this project is awesome !

ideas for open form attribute trees:

users arent just "warrior, archer, mage etc"
 but learn and grow through everyday actions. reading, digging, drinking, hunting all give various pluses and minuses

all users can fight wolves and thieves, but if you adventure more and read less you won't increase intelligence.

all non-questing actions will be given random NPC encounters when performed long enough. ie you go to a temple., you read a book, there is a chance you learn something new, which increases your intelligence. its a "roll" of difficulty vs your attributes. if you win, then you now know a new skill, and have an increase in according attributes. if you lose, no harm, nothing gained.

The new things would be from many real world skills. You could learn a foreign word, find a map, a new song, or a recipe.

These first steps will then start to form your skills, and if you use them, you will be more likely to continue to grow in that direction.

If you found a recipe for chili, you could open a restaurant. Then when you studied next, you would be offered more suitable recipes, where as if you went on more adventures, your chili recipe would come in handy to sustain you and grow your constitution.

thanks for the lead, rumours are this game is dying but the tech is interesting.
looks like its based on the unreal gaming engine which is interesting.

[chanc3r]

anyone any experience with Blender;

http://www.blender.org

Its a GPL 3D Rendering and game platform...
Lots of open stuff
Could be a good place to build from.

If anyone else has the time please check it out and post what you think.

What if we made a genuine induced alternate reality ?
I have been toying around with this idea for a couple of years and with Google's latest announcement it would be SO much easier.

There are a infinite number of games already out on the market, we have to think of something completely new to get attention and I think a virtual reality game that anyone can participate with through their phone would be a stroke of sheer genius marketing. Couple this with the cutting edge cryptocurrency technology and you have something everyone should want to try out and EVERY tech magazine should want to write articles about.

I think the killer angle is that people can play and have fun and be creative and at the end of the day, earn real money for their hard work.

It could be a WORLD changer. You could be poor and have no chance in a real rough part of the world, but with effort and dedication, you could craft a useful and in demand item, even just a song or a book, that everyone wants, or a serious special sword, fort, or spell and sell it.

What i'm fleshing out is a trillion dollar economy!;) and good for NXT too

and the best part, is its not about your real world skills. don't have to be an athlete or a math wiz. Your character would have the chance to succeed, and with the right luck and timing, develop some powerful ideas, abilities, and become really good at SOMETHING VALUABLE

This is an opportunity to support an online game that leverages many of Nxt's advanced features, one of the highlights being a user-driven crafting economy.

Donations can be sent to 13776816462073143763; please include tx id so I can include it when updating this post and making it easier for James to keep track of incoming transactions.

We're also considering implementing a kickstarter-style tier system for bounty donators. These would be cosmetic rewards that wouldn't be available after game launch. Something like:

10 NXT - badge
100 NXT - cap
1000 NXT - cape
10000 NXT - beta access (?)

Depending on how we handle character death/respawning, these items may be also confer a quicker resurrection.

[swartzfeger]

We're now at 31,000 NXT, and another tentative 10,000 was offered via PM (redirected them to the community fund). So we could be at 40,000 very soon.

Deep breath moment (aaaaaah)

Drafting is going surprisingly well. It's only day 3 and I'm not sure we'll have something final to share quite yet, but the coalescing blob we had yesterday is gelling quite nicely thanks to Pandaisftw and Chanc3r (if I forgot anyone else, I apologize, I was offline for almost 24 hours)

More to come...

Nice - we would like to do some reality augment stuff - like switching on the app in a grocery store gets you food/resources etc.
Any ideas like this most welcome.

The tango stuff is really cool and if google ever release it as long as we have a reality link already we could then adopt it.

Yes I honestly think this is the way we should go. It's ambitious as hell, but so is NXT.
When we first started this project a few days ago me, panda and swartzfeger started pitching random ideas and I think everyone of us agreed that it should be at least esotherically connected to the cryptorevolution and decentralization somehow.
I think creating the first "parallel reality" that people can enter with their phones would be a great, great step in that direction.
It might be a bit too ambitious, but I don't think doing the "just another game" is the way to get attention

We've hit 41,000!

I think everyone who donates 1000 should get beta access. After all, more beta testers = less bugs.

I think the 10,000 = beta was an idea quickly kicked about in IRC during the kickstarter tier discussion, but yes... initial beta will probably include all bounty donators.

For the 'open' beta (anyone can sign up), there should be benefits exclusive to bounty participants.

Personally, I think we need to come up with more benefits for donators than just swag, but those additional benefits may become more obvious as development starts.
