Project Description:
This is the upgraded version of the posting at: http://www.freelancer.com/projects/1455223.html
The difference in price should lead to this: Higher expectations for fast and on-time delivery time, team or dedicated full-time individual working on the project, experience in games or Facebook applications in the past, and a track record on Freelancer working on larger projects to back it up.
Make us believe that this is something we can get done... we are willing to pay a little more for quality.
Down Range Games Inc. is looking for a person or team capable of producing a game for Facebook based on our specifications.
This game will start out as a 2D, text and static image-based MMO very similar to Castle Age (http://apps.facebook.com/castle_age/) or older games such as Mafia Wars etc. (it would be very helpful if you review Castle Age as the project progresses). Beyond similar appearances, this game will be unique in the market place in other ways, so we are hoping for a developer who ius creative and flexible.. able to think outside the box and not just copy. We have an established plot line, and all of the game components and pages are either mocked up, rough HTML, or carefully laid out. The artwork is at around 80% completion and we expect it to be complete at the same time as the game you will be building to Beta (and checking for errors). We understand that we can't be in Beta forever, and will request a bid on all future work.
On our team we already have an experienced back-end programmer who has set up and is managing the servers. We would like you to work with him when possible. We also have a very talented web designer, and would like you to consult with him about major changes, as well as the initial vision.
Although we would prefer to work with someone on a similar time zone as us, we realize that may not be possible and the most competitive bids may be overseas. However, please be able to have a flexible schedule and speak English well.
Scope of work and requirements:
- Exceptional HTML/CSS skills (proper HTML, no table layouts!)
- Thoroughly understands Javascript Basics and Javascript Libraries (jQuery or MooTools)
- Individual character creation through Facebook ID#
- Allow for these characters to gain items, experience, stats, achievements, etc. as game goes on. Database management is key, as players often open multiple windows during one play session
- Build the approximately 10 (similar) pages within the game interface (base, town, group enemy, etc) which we have already laid out, integrating existing artwork and working with (internal) lead designer to achieve visually dynamic interface
- Item distribution will have a level of chance to it, so we will need to accomplish that somehow...
- Game code must be organized in a way that will be clear to our team moving forward for editing and review
- Resulting interface should be able to be modified by our team for appearance (re-skin) for future releases
- We are able to discuss more specifics, and would like to stage a Skype call or similar to go into greater detail
When posting, please comment on direct requirements or aspects, so we can review those bidders who are most likely to want to work on OUR project and see it through. This is a labor of love for me specifically, and I want someone who is interested in helping me fulfill a dream.
The attachment is an example interface which is not complete/final, but similar to what we envision and have been working towards.
