hi. i am posting it here, but i am sorry if this is not the right place. (and sorry for my bad english)

i am a 23 years old php newbie, and looking for an experienced, trusthworthy php coder to be my partner in a project.

about the project: this is all about browser based strategy, rpg, football manager games etc. all the games are really complex with high member interaction.

the first one to launch is a strategy game. i know my level, and i can not do it on my own. i had a partner for some other projects, but he has some important problems about his job, so we have broken our partnership.

then i hired some coders, but all they did was crappy php scripts they call "games". then i understood that money is not the right motivation for this kind of project.

i know, it sounds silly, but i dont want to pay anything to anyone anymore. as i said before, i am looking for a partner, not just someone to hire for a limited time.

of course, you can put your banners, advertise your other projects/websites etc. and also you will get your share if we together happen to have make any profit, since we will be partners.

so, in a partnership, both sides have to give something. so what will i do if you will do all the coding? i have planned all of the games, and they're waiting to be coded, i am a talented graphics artist (i dont like to call myself like "talented" or "artist", but i just cant find the right words in english, sorry again), and i am 1 of 5 administrators in a MMORPG community with 25000+ members for over 4 years, so i think i can handle cmmunities of any size. also, as i said before, i have some low-level php skills, and i can edit codes if they are well commented. (yeah it sounds funny, i know)

so thats all. if you have the skills and experience needed, if you will love to be a partner with me in this kind of project, if you can dedicate yourself as i will do for this project, then you can be the one i am looking for.

Actually, that sounds like fun, and it sounds like you have everything planned out nicely. Unfortunately, I can't help, because I have other projects that require my immediate attention, and certain parties might get a little miffed if I were to fall behind. But good luck with this!

thank you for your reply and interest. of course if you have some ongoing projects that you think you cant work on at the same time, its better not to work together at this time.

as i said before, dedication is important. i hope i can find someone who can share my excitement about this project...

I am also working on a turn-based web-based multiplayer strategy game with a fantasy theme. The aim is to have around 100 players playing at once, games will last for several weeks.

Of course mine is massively ambitious, and I already have the code design well planned, quite a lot of the core code written and some interfaces coded.

The gameplay is a bit more up in the air; I'm interested in finding other people doing similar stuff to share ideas, code etc.

Artwork and game design is distinctly vague at the moment, I have some ideas which may or may not be included.

I'm going to make it fairly graphically light but with enough icons etc to make things interesting, and hopefully a world map.

I'd be happy to offer advice and some code.
