URBANLORDS.COM - Action 2D Multiplayer Shooter (PHP/JAVASCRIPT)

[schingeck]

URBANLORDS.COM was a text-based MMORPG released BETA yet never complete... However, I have begun a new type of game involving slick animation, keyboard control, it's a top-down 2d shooter game (multiplayer). Hoping to make it similar to counter-strike but in 2-D and even StickArena (xgenstudios). What does this have to do with PHP you ask? It's the first action/animation game that is multiplayer to be released using AJAX (PHP + Javascript + XML).

I am recruiting PHP, Javascript, XML coders and Artists to help out with the rest of development. Letme run down what I have complete:

At the moment I have created my own basic engine using AJAX. I am FAIRLY new to AJAX so it took some time however in a period of a month I have created a map editor of letters/symbols, collision detection, side/top scrolling, player rotation according to mouse position, keyboard movement, and little multiplayer using AJAX.

What I need:
Artists - Looking to create some textures, sprites, buildings, etc. It'll use 30x30px for tiles and 26x26 px for the player sprites.

Coders - Experience w/ PHP, AJAX, XML, etc. anybody with these can help out. I have a server already purchased and planning to release the beta of this game by the end of January. I need to do a lot of tweaking and correcting with the current engine and it is only about half way finished.

All work is voluntarily unless the game makes a generous amount of profits from advertisements. It's unique and yet new, it'll be interesting for many gamers and people involved with AJAX.

I already have a layout designed, which hasn't been released yet, but it's surprising.

If you are looking to create some new and unique with experimenting and having fun, please email me at ryan@urbanlords.com. Show me some of your work and we can plan some things out.
