<div class="IPBDescription">Browser Based Work Waster</div> If you don't know about them, there's a type of game that's somewhere between 3D computer games and regular old flash/java games. Thats the section games like Nukezone and other strategy games sat for a while. Before the RPG rush and expansion came along. Anyhow, this will be a browser based game, most likely made with coldfusion and such. A very easy to play game, made for wasting those few minutes during your busy work day or at home that you have nothing better to do. Or to play while you can't play NS (or don't want to).

I'm figuring on a simple game, choose alien or marine and level them up, gain evolves, new weapons, resources and battle the enemy. Maybe a little PK will even be included who knows, but I'm going to keep it as simple as possible because I'm also working on a much larger scale browser RPG at the time. So anyone whos got a bit of skill in coding or artwork is invited to join up. I've set up a discussion section for the game in my forums if you'd like to help out at :

Suggestions, ideas, comments whatever!

    I'd probably need someone to help host it as well, considering I don't particulary like setting up databases and such but I could host it on my own if it came down to it.

    that`d be cool man.

    i`d play it, like i`am playing other web browser games, but u gotta be pretty good with the scripts and stuff.

    The actual programming wouldn't be too hard. I do it for a living <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Coldfusion is my choice for this game because I have it here at work and javascript for the extra little stuff I need to do for scripting.

    from what i've seen from previous web-based games you need a big connection, thats why a lot of they go pay to play :\

    That's quite crap, but I'm hoping this will be kinda like it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    You start off as a basic TSA marine going through training, eventually getting better armour, weapon upgrades, HA, JP...
    NaturalQuest?
    EverNatural?
    Dark ages of Eclipse?
    Kharaaon's Call?

    Runescape, despite me hating its guts and all the things I can say about it, took a LONG time to make. This will be a much simpler game, more of a point and click to waste a couple minutes/hours/days. Create a character, fight the opposing team, gain xp, level up, etc, etc...

    Nah, I think he just meant for hosting. My host is pretty good and I have a lot of bandwidth so I'm not worried about that, I just didn't want to set up the database myself <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Man i had a pretty good post going about other really cool webpaged based RPGs that are good and that i would LOVE just LOVE to see one of NS but then since I do this in summer school my teacher took over my classes computer and i didn't have to to post it soo I'll just say......

    Yes if you can please please make a NS game like that I know I will play it and anyone else at a friends house or during school when they can't play NS will most likely too... so yes make it !! <!--emo&::siege::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='siege.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yep, should be playable from school, work, behind most firewalls, wherever. If you've ever played a MUD before it's just like that except graphical and you won't have to memorize a list of commands or thousands of directions to the best hunting grounds. Similar games are listed on:

    and

    <a href='http://www.topwebgames.com' target='_blank'>http://www.topwebgames.com</a>

    Pop on over to my forums and signup for some discussions and such. Another advantage of my forums is it has a dedicated discussion section for all those wild and crazy arguments you want to bring up but aren't allowed due to the old ones here being brought down.

    Another bump to generate a bit more interest if there's any out there.
