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

[QUOTE=reevezy67;31377268]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.[/QUOTE] I plan to. That might be the hardest thing im going to have to code. It's going to be included with the random events feature and will be quite number heavy.

You should add a paypal section. And you should also add what sort of forum you can have for the website.

[QUOTE=SL1CHAOS;31385331]You should add a paypal section. And you should also add what sort of forum you can have for the website.[/QUOTE] I like the forum idea. I also have an objective for the game. You have to reach 32 community members within sixty days. You do this by developing gamemode, getting better forums and other things like taking a community down so that there players come to you. ONE MORE THING: I need some fake sommunity names for you to interact with. Gimme some ideas :D

To apply for alpha testing, do we need to know the language you're coding in? (C# or C++, I always get mixed up) Or do we just need the ability to give constructive criticism and the ability to find bugs? If it's the latter, I'm up for testing. (horrible at C#/C++)

I'd be willing to alpha test if needed, too, but as the guy above me, I am horrible at coding.

Milton came around my house today and allowed me to use it. I personally liked it, I gave him some suggestions on what he could add/change.

(horrible at C#/C++)[/QUOTE] Just find bugs to be honest :) I have added alot since earlier but I have stripped the diplomacy down quite alot. I still need to add random events etc. [IMG]http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy347/Daniel_Butler/NERRP.png[/IMG] ^^^ Me testing out the attacking feature of the game. Still alot to add!

You could add "Minor" and "Major" communities. The minor ones would evolute over time.

[QUOTE=Kalan Yamato;31391670]You could add "Minor" and "Major" communities. The minor ones would evolute over time.[/QUOTE] I may implement that. At the moment im just getting the core gameplay down but I will update it over time. I have LOADDS of ideas I want to add.

[QUOTE=MILTON!;31391722]I may implement that. At the moment im just getting the core gameplay down but I will update it over time. I have LOADDS of ideas I want to add.[/QUOTE] You should script random GMod updates that may or may not break your script :v:

He has already added that!

Okay. I have been working on it for about 4 hours now and have added several things... - A system where you are charged $40 every 10 day's for the Data-center. - A system where you can attack rival communites. - Forum upgrade which helps bring new members. - Events such as communities contacting you and DDOS attacks. It's also starting to feel more like a game now. It's quite difficult aswell!

Sweet, I'll be up to beta test. Sorry for late reply. Add different ways to attack communities, like DDoS, organized mass minging, bribing hosts to take down servers...

Rpgsuite.com, could be a rival community, or on the otherhand, you could just swap names around and add major communities as a parody, heh.

Just so you guy's know the early beta will be released later today (I hope). It won't have all these extra features you have mentioned but im sure I will implement them at some point in the future :D

Looking forward to it.

Anyway, it's an interesting game concept, I don't see how 5 additional members would need roughly 300 more botnets, but sure.

I can probably just change the botnet's and stuff so yeah.

Cookie Gaming, 20 members - 500 botnets. LightDrive, 15 members - 150 botnets.

Glitch #1: You apparently stop having to pay for the datacenter after 100 days. [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] Glitch 2(?) Advertising is not purchasable [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] [img]http://i.imgur.com/dXsqC.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/f13qt.png[/img] Sorry :tinfoil: [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] Glitch(?)3 There is no max cap on Fatigue, so you can click and press enter on "Take a nap" for the first hundred days. [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] [img]http://i.imgur.com/hdUd9.png[/img] Take that, major communities! [img]http://i.imgur.com/JZFTC.png[/img] I now own the roleplaying section.

On reflection a Fatigue limit would be quite good and I know about the advertising. I haven't added it yet. On the version I actually posted on this thread I put (NOT AVAILABLE ON ALPHA) on all of the button's that don't work. Apart from that what do you think of the actual gameplay? EDIT: You don't have to spare my feelings. If you dislike the game I would rather know xD

I like it. Nice gameplay, the interface is boring though, if you could add images for random events and stuff as well it would look better. Also maybe a Wider interface instead of having a taller one.

Suggestion, you should be able to buy botnets from the shop more then once. It's hard to destroy the other communities.

[QUOTE=SL1CHAOS;31409609]Suggestion, you should be able to buy botnets from the shop more then once. It's hard to destroy the other communities.[/QUOTE] Im going to increase the stock to 3.

Also, I got a bug. If you go bankrupt I assume the game is meant to end. However, you can get yourself out of debt by going to work and you can continue to develop your community without paying the datacenter. It's coming along nicely though. [IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af254/SL1CHAOS/gmodservertycoon.png[/IMG] Managed to get to that in 1 year by using that bug to my advantage.

I will probably do some simple code to check the label color. If it's red the game ends. Simples.
