Garry's Mod Server Tycoon - WIP. - Garry's Mod

Hi Everybody. If you have not seen me post before I am MILTON. I am an owner of the Garry's Mod community "DarkDrive" and I have recently started coding in C#. I was inspired the other day to create my first full project. A form based game which simulates the management of a Garry's Mod community. It is a small applet designed for playing at work or lunch or whatever and it is heavily text based. So far it has several features including... - Skill sets including LUA Coding, Hacking and Business. - Personal Actions which involve controlling your characters actions. You can spend your time developing your gamemode or waste your time watching TV. - An in game shop where you can purchase many thing's including OpenAura licenses, books teaching you to code, energy drinks and a host of other useful items. - An influence system which gains you respect and bonuses from groups such as "Script Kiddies" and "Facepunch Users" I also plan to have... - A diplomacy system where you can interact with other communites. - Random events such as DDOS attacks, Admin abuse and RDM complaints. - A Corruption and Reputation system where your actions can influence your communites external look. Im looking for some ideas to add. Anybody have any :P PRE ALPHA SCREEN! Still alot is missing but yeah. It's a wip.

I'm interested to see where this heads. Core subforums should get randomly deleted, and then follow this up with several new subforums being made specially for insignificant minorities that could already just post in GD or CT.

What are the minimum requirements?

[QUOTE=SL1CHAOS;31362873]What are the minimum requirements?[/QUOTE] Your a funny guy.

So something like Prison Tycoon....but for Gmod servers? :v:

[QUOTE=nutnuts;31364637]So something like Prison Tycoon....but for Gmod servers? :v:[/QUOTE] I guess so haha. It's heavily text based. From the screenshot you will still see that I need to add alot like diplomacy, server management, rating system and corruption but it's coming along nicely.

Seems fun to me.

Donations, server upgrades, development of your own gamemode sounds like a good idea. Oh and give the servers downtime after a gmod update.

[QUOTE=SL1CHAOS;31362873]What are the minimum requirements?[/QUOTE] +1 I've just started on trying to learn some c#. This is nice, great work so far.

[QUOTE=reevezy67;31365767]+1 I've just started on trying to learn some c#. This is nice, great work so far.[/QUOTE] Why thank you :) At the moment my only issue is that the game isn't very fun in my opinion. Im very self critical. I will think of something.

[QUOTE=nutnuts;31366607]Well, its good that a game has a minimum brain cell requierment. :v:[/QUOTE] Very True. Just an update for anybody interested I have added a basic diplomacy system where you can earn respect from factions such as "Script Kiddies", "LUA Scripters" and "CookieGaming (Rival Community)" You can demand and attack the different factions depending on certain skills.

[QUOTE=nutnuts;31366694]Earning Script Kiddie's respect was always a big dream for me! :v:[/QUOTE] With "Garry's Mod Server Tycoon" you can achieve that dream!!!!!!!!!

This game havnt came out and its selling better then Minecraft!!!

[QUOTE=DiCiSpitfire;31367016]This game havnt came out and its selling better then Minecraft!!![/QUOTE] Except it's free ;) I might charge $150 for it. I hear that's very popular on Facepunch.

[QUOTE=MILTON!;31367771]Except it's free ;) I might charge $150 for it. I hear that's very popular on Facepunch.[/QUOTE] Nooo thats too little!

You should add the ability to DDOS other communities. I hear that's going around alot over player count.

I'd love to test this actually, if you could send me a copy whenever is ready for a rough alpha or whatever :v:. Its a really good idea, I hope you are able to complete the project!

[QUOTE=SL1CHAOS;31369219]You should add the ability to DDOS other communities. I hear that's going around alot over player count.[/QUOTE] Already added. Hence the attack button :D [QUOTE=Steven :D;31369261]I'd love to test this actually, if you could send me a copy whenever is ready for a rough alpha or whatever :v:.

I still have alot of ideas and simple mechanics that needed to be added before it can be called a game xD

[QUOTE=Steven :D;31369978]Awesome, thanks. Good luck![/QUOTE] Thank you :) Im worried that people now have high expectations xD I added a sanity feature aswell. It adds challenge as you have to balance your server with more relaxing activities such as watching TV.

So, whens this getting released?

[QUOTE=nutnuts;31373229]So, whens this getting released?[/QUOTE] When it's done... :trollface: But seriously I would give it a few weeks?

[QUOTE=MILTON!;31373313]When it's done... :trollface: But seriously I would give it a few weeks?[/QUOTE] Thats it, vigilantes are coming!

You could add a donation feature, the game randomly gives you money every few days depending on the population of the server. Maybe an option to add a donate button to the MOTD.

Make it so that buying an OA license drops Community Members to zero

Oh wow...i am going to have a blast.
