Hi out there!
I'm searching assistance for my new project. The history of the game is a bit longer, so I start at the beginning.

The beginning

About 3 years ago I started a little browser game with my knowledge of PHP and MYSQL. After a short beta-phase, many bugs and many new ideas I decided to rewrite the whole game. Because the site had to be reloaded every time, the server load with only PHP was incredible and I looked for another opportunity. The concept is now to work with sockets. It was no problem for me to code a PHP-Socket-Server but I need a client with socket ability too. I read an article about XNA and thought I can try it...so here I am...

About the game

The working title is: SciFi online

Operating System: Windows

The original game played in the star trek universe and I "published" it in cooperation with Germany's biggest Star Trek website. Because I want no license problems it should be a SciFi game with own races now. Every user can name his own race and set attributes to it. The planned features of the game are:

• colonize planets and build buildings on the surface
• planetary defence with intercept torpedos etc.
• big techtree for better buildings, terraforming, ships etc.
• trade system with NPC traders on tradestations
• a bar on each station for RPG communication, diplomacy etc. (like Freelancer)
• modular ship building
• round based fights
• huge galaxymap with colored territory of each player
• intelligence and sabotage

I wrote it all down in my developer forum, but I have to translate it into english first. I code all in my spare time so I planned 6 months for a first beta release, but I have only PHP experience.

What is the aim????

First of all I do it cause I want to learn more then "programming" with PHP. So I hope to learn from the experiences of another coder by looking over his "shoulder". On the other side I want to bring my project...a scifi mmorpg...back in line. If we are successful, we have a big partner (the german star trek website i mentioned above), to "publish" the game. A few fans are waiting for the next version already.

What I am searching for?

C# or XNA Coder

• Experience in OOP needed

Graphic Designer
3D Modeler
