Looking for advice on producing Village the Game 1.0

Postby darian311 » 22 Aug 2009, 20:55

I'm building my first significant video game project called Village the Game. Village is a social venture and video game to promote the companies that invent and sell tools to the worlds poorest people to improve their lives. For example Kickstart.org invented and sells an irrigation pump that has helped tens of thousands of farmers throughout Africa tenfold their income. Those farmers and their families are now permanently lifted out of poverty. And that's just one innovation out of thousands that could spread much further than they already have. I'm working on a prototype for Facebook that plays similar to monopoly except you start businesses rather than buy properties and you watch the Village prosper as you compete with friends to have the greatest impact on the village.

I've already built a basic version in javascript, and need help converting it to SmartFox and Flash/Openspace.

I want to doublecheck with the more veteran game developers on this forum that I'm taking the right approach here. For a multiplayer board game is this the right platform? Also for following versions of Village the Game is Openspace coupled with Smartfox the right platform to handle the evolution of the game?

Also does it seem reasonable to expect that art and programming can be completed over the next 3 months considering the gameplay is already prototyped in javascript?

My javascript prototype is at http://www.villagethegame.com/kenya/
The main website for Village the Game is http://www.villagethegame.com
