I don't know of any "make a turn based web game" wizards or anything ;)

Only thing I could recommend is learning a programming language and becoming very familiar with a graphic creation package of your preference.

I've "started" lots of game projects, but what stops me time and time again is the inability to create the graphics. So I've been trying to get good at simple 3D modeling, animation, and things like that.

The type of game you are wanting to make is very complex, compared to say... arcade style shooters and puzzle games. So if you were to start on it, you'd have to put in ALOT of work. I wouldn't have a clue how to write one using HTML and CGI.

However, I too have been thinking about a simple turn based fantasy themed game for awhile. You saw some of my prototype landscape graphics for that, hehe. If you want to get together and discuss some things let me know. I can't make a web based game, but I can do a two player game via TCP/IP (where you type in their IP address and connect, like Apprentice if you've ever played that).

Semper Fi,

Please Rahl? Just a few pounds of cheese, I promise. ;) -- Solar-Fire, 09:37:30 03/17/02 Sun

Depends on what kind of cheese :P (NT) -- Rahl, 20:01:37 03/18/02 Mon
- Individually packaged slices of American cheese sound acceptable? (NT) -- Solar-Fire, 15:54:15 03/20/02 Wed
  - nah, those are too time consuming to open. (NT) -- Rahl, 15:48:59 03/21/02 Thu
