Ok, for my final project at my tech college I created a web based strategy game with PHP. Some of you may remember a game called Operation Night Wolf that someone had posted on the forums like a year ago. A number of us played it, but then it died away. Well that was my inspiration to make this game, except mine is medieval based. I went into it not knowing anything about PHP, and only knowing a bit about HTML. It has come along quite nicely (won first prize for tech projects... the others blew goats though). Its not ready for public play yet... but I hope to have a basic version of the game ready in a month or so, depending on if I ever have the free time to do it (and I'm not dicking around in a game). Right now, you can build up your economy, build an army, but cannot go to war. As soon as war is implimented it will be ready to be played... to a degree.

There are many, many things I want to add to it to finish it up. Anyway, I'll post a link to it when I have war in and I feel like its done enough to be played.

So, now to what I need the opinion on:

Once the game is done, I am going to want to advertise a bit to get a player base going. How would you suggest I do that without pissing a bunch of people / messageboard admins off? I mean, its not one of those games where you get something for clicking a certain link or anything like that, just something to do when you're bored.

If there isnt a shady, profit based aspect to it in some form or another I dont see any reason why admins would have a problem with you posting it. As long as its in an appropriate section of their boards would seem to me youd have little complaints.

Always could let the admins (or an admin) try it out first, and if it meets with their approval, i see no reason why it couldn't be put up here...

I think if you posted a link in the Generic gaming forum noone will have a problem with it.

Not only that, but you can always try getting in contact with abs from Albino Blacksheep on IRC. I've talked to him a couple times while idling, seems pretty cool. Even sent me a few .gif's he was working on. 8)

Cool. I'll let you guys know when its ready to be tested, heh. I don't want to build it up too much though. It is quite basic. Amazing how much code I had to write for it though.

nevermind! Would love to try it out ;)
