Hello all. I am leading up a small indie development project and was
hoping to get some insight from the community. Before we announce the
project publically and starting looking for feedback from our own
community I wanted to come straight to the heart of the group we are
looking to get interest from.
In not so much detail, we are
basically building a set of tools and functionality specifically
targetted at CMORPGs (Community Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games)
where the focus is on allowing communities of players to build, host and
manage their own multiplayer worlds. The initial goal is for fantasy
settings, but we have plans to expand that into modern and sci-fi
depending on how well recieved it is.
I myself played and DMed a
PW in NwN1, and others on the team have/are doing so for NwN2. However,
we want to make this as functional and easy to use out of the box for
the communtiy as possible so we want to make sure we get all the right
input and not miss something important.
As such please tell us what you would want to see as base functionality built into an engine for PWs, DMing and Multiplayer.
Some of the things we are already working on include:
Built in DB Functionality
Auto-Install/De-Install tools for worlds
Cross-Server Communication
UI Extensability
Optional procedural area generation
And much more!
