THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN

Some of you may know about an online game called Moonbase. Moonbase is a text based online strategy game mainly played on Mxit (a social messaging app) and on a .mobi site.

How ever Moonbase has been shutdown by its developers. The real reason is unclear and they have left us in the dark.

How ever the moonbase community is angry and want them to bring the game back.

But it seems the future of moonbase shall remain dead.

I want to give the people what the people want. I am attempting to bring a similar game that wil have the same core mechanics of Moonbase that dare i say thousands of players loved.

There are already other alternatives to Moonbase out there but the comunity is not satisfied by them as they are not what moonbase was.

I aim to tackle this project. Create a free to play online textbased strategy game inspired by moonbase and its players.

But i lay crippeld in my limited experience and skill.

This is me asking for anyone with knowledge in PHP and HTML who is looking for a part time project to join. I dont have money, so i cannot pay you. But i can offer you the chance to join me and be apart of something great.

If you are interested and would like to hear more you can email me

louisschprs@gmail.com

Kind Regards

    How far in development are you at the moment? Have you started any of the coding? I am actually not too interested myself too be honest, doing other projects at the moment, but I think someone who would be potentially interested would want to know the answer to these questions. That said, not offering pay makes it hard to get someone to join you - speaking from experience :)

    I am currently working on the design document.

    Its maybe a bit early to ask people to help me make this game when there is yet so little to show.

    I am still currently in school and i think someone with the right knowledge can help me make quick work of this game and get it to a playable beta state faster.

    As i mentioned i am currently in school so i have no means of funding such a project but the potential to make money from the project is there.

    Any info on what the game was (mechanics, special features, etc) and where the community conversation is that people share what they don't like with the alternatives?

    Any chance you can share your design doc?

    Wait, Blue Leaf is gone? What?

    Their site is still up, but I can't get www.playmoonbase.com to load. Presumably that's the issue...

    Also, there should be plenty of open-source variants of this sort of game available out there for you to customise, I know that running your own version of Promisance isn't that tricky ;) That's the sort of game Moonbase is based on, so you shouldn't have too much of a hard time extending it to do whatever it is you want.
