Dynasties web game, looking for PHP/jquery dev

[Barek (jerm)]

I'm working on a browser based game written in PHP with jquery/ajax and a little JSON.  I'm looking for anyone with some PHP and jquery skill who can lend a hand.

It is inspired by Game of Thrones and Crusader Kings.  Its working title is Dynasties.

The game that I envision is set a generation after the fall of the last king.  Minor houses are the centers of power, and this is where the meat of the game lies.  Each player will take on the role of a House.  You don't so much control each character as much as you guide the entire House, seeking to gain influence, vassals and power, and perhaps eventually declare a King.  Characters age and die, and new characters are born.  Marriages can be controlled for the most part by the players, and Houses will offer their daughters to the sons of other houses in order to form bonds and alliances.  There will be some military and warfare element, though it is NOT a wargame, and I don't envision it being possible to take over the land, RISK style.

Please message me if interested.

(Note that this is not a paying gig)

What have you got so far?

[Barek (jerm)]

Only some groundwork thusfar.  A solid foundation, but far from playable.

[Barek (jerm)]

I made a fair bit of progress, and there's actually something to log onto now, though still not what I'd call playable.  I'm working to get some of the family actions built.

Currently it lets you register and login.  It builds out your family.

There's a forum as well.

Jerm, you're not DEAD :). I might have some time to help you out in a month or so.

Looks good. I'm the Kusorov family. Hope this game is good when you're finished.

This looks awesome! As a fan of Game of Thrones, and Battlemaster, I think this is hearty home-style meat and potatoes for me. I particularly like the idea of controlling a House instead of character(s) individually: makes it very political, and I especially like that you're incorporating marriage as a political game mechanic. Very promising and I'd love it if I could help, but alas, I know PHP not, only a little bit of Python.

Good working title too; very appropriate and catchy.

I've registered. My House is Redfield, and my current patriarch is Galvarium.

The only odd thing about it so far is seeing character ages out to three decimal places.

It just tells me something has gone wrong when I try to log in. Others don't have that problem?

Having the same problem.

[Daycryn]

I had that problem. Til I entered for my username, my email address.

[Barek (jerm)]

Yes, it wants your email to login. I'll have to make that more clear.

[Barek (jerm)]

And fixed.

I set up a marriage, I assume it was with a AI-family. Nothing much happened after I proposed it, but I assume the game is still in a very early stage. Looks cool anyway  8)

I believe they are real families. I recognize the family names ;) I just send out marriage proposals, including the Cuvelier Family, but I don't think it's working yet.

Yup, I see them, but the game does nothing when I hit except. It also just gives numbers, instead of names. But it's already something!
