This is a project that I worked on for a very long time around the 2005 era. The project itself is no longer under development, but I put so much work in to it that I needed some closure; a way for people to see what I had created without running a server out of my  closet. Enter YouTube!

I created 3 videos that demonstrate the features of the project. I apologize for my boring and monotone voice. The contents of each video are as follows:

1. Basics of the game UI and interaction
2. Multiplayer features
3. World Builder Tool

The game itself is developed as a Java Applet that runs in a web browser. Even though I call it a text-based game, you can see there are a lot of visual elements to it. In fact, the interface itself allows the player to click on things, like the mini-map to move and objects in the world to interact with them.

The server for the game is written in Java and stores data in a MySQL database. The World-Builder tools are web based, and are written in PHP.

Thank you very much for looking at what I created!
