Comments on: I need a project http://dragonchasers.com/2009/01/12/i-need-a-project/ But what will you do when you catch one!?

There was an article about Metaplace in InformationWeek today, and they were giving away beta accounts to the first 200 people that used a code, and I was one of that first 200. But of course its all under NDA. :( Well, serendipity stepped in and I think I found my “project” but I can’t really talk much about it.

Can't wait to play "Crochet Online, Age of HDCing"! :D Can’t code and am somewhat graphically challenged (other than knowing what I like), but I’m watching this intently all the same.

Can’t wait to play “Crochet Online, Age of HDCing”! :D

It could go in so many directions, depending on the game and genre. Okay, I have another idea! :D Maybe create an addon or mod for one of the games you play?

That limits me too things like App Engine, which has quota's. WAR needs more in the way of web tools, so there is a potential avenue for you. @Pete: There are a lot of similar projects to be done, except I have a requirement that it be of no cost to me.

I'm trying to keep the goals modest enough that I have slight chance of completing something. You've known me long enough to know how short my attention span is!!! LOL @Werit I remember seeing that post but never grokked that you actually built it. Congrats! @Crag – That’s along the lines of what I was thinking about.

Have incomes and production purely time and consumption based. Then have the geography for interaction area based such that players assign 'pieces' to regions/areas with stances or operational orders. Those operations then complete in a specified amount of time.. more units make it faster , opposing units slow down/negate or take out your units. The actual pieces could be many different themes and operations tailored accordingly. A straight up thought might be a standard war theme with various land, sea and air units ( think say Nile Online meets Empire meets Risk) Alternatively you could go for say a Spy theme.. COld war with units being agents, para military, security, conventional military and operations revolving around espionage/tech acquisition/insurgency/assassination etc. Or say discovery of the New World/Pirates. ;) On the Strategy MMO theme why not take out the real time equation by having the players only controlling at a strategic level.

That's interesting. I'll have to check it out again. @Pete – I tried that when it was single player. That’s interesting. I’ll have to check it out again.
