Hello,

i'm planning to develop a game as described in the topic. The basic idea depends on a tactical warfair game. Players meet eachother on the battlefield to fight for honor and glory ;). On the battlefield the Player controls some robots which are equipped with weapons and utilities.

During fights each pilot of a robot gains experience which can be invested into new skills. Further more, every fight brings money to the stash which can be used to buy new pilots, robots, equipment and repairing damaged robots.

I need only a developer who is in charge of the development of the flash game. All other game mechanics will be developed by myself (including game maths).


Some short requirements:

- Multiplayer
- Turn based
- Tile based (6 sided tiles or perhaps 4)
- 2 players fight against
- Mapcreation with textfiles
- Every player has X robots on the battlefield
- Robots are able to move, shoot, use utitlies, hide, take cover and so on
- Game maths will be offered by me and will be implemented by the developer. That maths are changeable later without flash experience.
- direct database access to get the stats of the robots. an interface which returns the pure data can be offered if needed.
- Ingame chat
- Players lounge where players can challenge other players (with chat)

Ok, thats the basic stuff.

A more detailed specification will be ready in 1 or 2 weeks.

Anyone who is interesested can send me a pm. In that pm I need a rough price for that thing, some personal information about you (location, age, experience, references).

If you have general questions please post in this topic and i will answer asap.

if i can find an experienced flasher it will be. i'm working on the idea over a year. i read a lot of articles about multiplayer games in flash. multiplayer functionalety isn't quiet hard ... there are products like smartfox or red5 which takes away a lot of work.

the hard thing is pure game with collisions, different actions and so on.

Are you planning to adopt any of the multiplayer platforms you mentioned (SmartFox, Red5)? And how do you plan to work with someone who is most likely hundreds of miles away? CVS repositories? Plain old FTP?

Perhaps, but if the developer has some better ideas I will adopt them. The use of a cvs rep. is possible but I think there is no need for. I'm looking for one flashdeveloper who make this for me, not for a team. During development the developer will get a test enviroment of the site where the flash applications will be integrated after completition.

For communication i'm used to use skype (voice), email or other chatssystems.

It seems we both have a very simular idea. I was going to post mine, but if you want I could help with the art work and general ideas.

Firstly, before I ever get involved in a multiplayer game I always ask the same question:
1. Do you have the funding to make the game? (which is much more than a basic flash game)
2. Do you have the funding for the external costs associated with buying a Dedicated or Virtual server and the 1000 euros for the smarfox Pro license? to be honest if it is truly turn based then you might only need a basic license, however, the basic license doesn't offer great lobby and chat facilities.

Often people don't have the funding for multiplayer games and I find the best clients for funding such a game are already established sites and big businesses.

Thanks and hopefully we can talk more.
