well that all depends if you want it online or not. generally all pbbg are online as the B stands for browser so go figure on that one.

why are you against php. most online games use php, hell even facebook uses php and look how big that has become. seems to me if you have a lot of experiance with php thats the language to use]]> Thu, 08 Jul 2010 11:33:53 +0000 http://www.pbbgdev.com/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=362&PID=2190#2190 Programming : PHP or .NET http://www.pbbgdev.com/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=362&PID=2189#2189 Author: Frank

I've been wanting to build a PBBG for a long time and i've finally started with some idea's.

The thing i'm doubting about right now is the language i'm writing it in. 
I have a lot of experience with PHP so at first i just thought to use that. PHP is unfortunaly not a really beatifull programming language.

In September I start a cource where I will learn .NET and it would be really good practice if I were to write the game using .NET. The thing i'm affraid of is that i will run into to many problems and lose interest.

What would be the best idea? I have experience with JAVA so .NET wont be completely new.

Some features where added:

- Game owners can submit news and promos about their game
- It's possible to buy a premium status for just 1 euro/month, giving the game more exposure]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 14:19:12 +0000 http://www.pbbgdev.com/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=352&PID=2188#2188 General : A rpg game for sale http://www.pbbgdev.com/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=361&PID=2187#2187 Author: BobTHJ

Unrelated question: What is the name of the library (I assume it's entirely javascript?) that you use to display your screenshots on the screenshot page?]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:56:52 +0000 http://www.pbbgdev.com/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=361&PID=2185#2185 General : A rpg game for sale http://www.pbbgdev.com/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=361&PID=2184#2184 Author: serend

Totally agree with your statement. Not so much on the building a game within a few days/weeks thou...but I get your point. ;0

The game has 430 accounts; and around 10-16 daily active users..its certainly not much. I havent advertised any where except adding the site on top listing websites. An according to analytics most of my traffic is direct links instead of referral sources.
 
To be honest the max amount of players online ranges from 3-6 unless I send out a mass email letting people know a new feature is on or what not and it will jump to around 20-30.
 
Hope that helps.

with all due respect, a game is easy to create in a few days/weeks. what is difficult is building a play base, and that is what is worth the money.

this is why it would be useful if you could details the amount of active accounts and a general idea of how many people play/how many online at same time, roughly?

i just opened home page and it said 1 online, 5 online today.... is this the norm?]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:35:34 +0000 http://www.pbbgdev.com/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=361&PID=2183#2183 General : A rpg game for sale http://www.pbbgdev.com/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=361&PID=2182#2182 Author: serend

Well...

Just found out some news today that will likely prevent me from having much time for continued development as the months go on. Its great news for myself...not so much for my online hobby. heh

So I would like to see if anyone would be interested in my game.

Asking price: Were all dev's here so lets talk it over. But I would rather see it online than off...

If you have MSN - serendd at hotmail [dot]com
 
P.S. I noticed that a few users here are on other forums so sorry about having to see this post again.

Heyo!

Just need some help making our games more browser compatable and tidy our css/html up a little. Also, some graphical layout work would be a plus!

We've got lot's of projects underway, so if you enjoy that sort of thing, you could love working with us :D We have lot's of unique games under development.

If you are interested, just give me a shout :)

Here's a game we have up at the moment (it's not finished)

peace!
