Browser Based Games

I always wanted to become a programer, having as a goal to create my own Computer Game! Soon it became clear that the creation of such a game requires more than just programming skills. You need specialized Graphic Designers, you need extended technical skills and of course a way to market and distribute your game. Programming skills, I can manage ;) , it took me about 2 years to find the right guy for the graphics, and it took far more for internet to reach a point where marketing and distribution was far easier than before.

So, after a 3 year development project, at the end of 2009, I managed to create a Web Based Engine for Online Games, and it's first game is:

Universe Online is a Massive Player Browser Based Space Strategy Online Game. It is written in PHP5 with MySQL5 as a database. The main technologies used are DHTML and AJAX. It starts as a resource management game, then it goes into space battle strategy game. Players are asked to face each other, along with NPC races that are handled by the engine itself!

Special Features supported by the engine include:

• Dynamin Definition of Produced Materials, Buildings, Units, Items and Ranks
• Robust Quest Definition Engine. You can define for each quest a set of rules that are used to unlock it for each player, checkpoints and objectives. The engine supports different types of quests like "Global", "Seasonal" and "Dailies".
• A Political game of Influences
• Special Dungeon Raids. Fully customized on their content (enemies and loots), along with graphics and texts
• Game Lore engine. Write the story of the game as a "book" and unlock each chapter when specific conditions are met!
• Dynamic definition of dependencies. Choose which technology unlock which item or building or unit. What level of a building is required to produce what type of resource and more...
• All different types of game supported: PvP, PvE, GvG!
• Multilingual Support
