[56K WARN] Game developement in php!
Posted: Tue May 23, 2006 2:00 pm
well I started doing some PHP lately, gotta admit its a great language, very powerful!
But as I realised how awesome it was, being a game developer myself, I decided to take a stab at making a PHP game. So I was browsing thru multiple websites and all I saw were mostly chap text based PHP games that could be done pretty shortly. And I thought to myself that it wasnt good enough, it gave PHP a "bad reputation" if you see what I mean. So I designed a simple concept in my head that has went a LONG way.
There is no easy way to explain it, so I'm just going to post some screenshots of what I have so far. I understand the graphics may not the be the best you've seen, but its a game an artist, a musician and myself are doing in our little free time voluntarly.





This one is in a PvE battle against 2 rats, note that the background image of the battle is a temporary one that's been drawn to test on while the real background images are being done


and to give you guys an idea of the scale of the project heres the world map (image not printed here due to size):

So what I'd like to know is, what do you guys think of fully graphical php games, I personaly think/hope they're the future of the PHP gaming, as they show just how powerful PHP can actually be. Has anyone ever attempted something like that? if so how far did you get and share you experience!
Regards,
Marc
