[BETA] Brothers Universe (naming is being worked upon)

[SacreBleu]

Hey guys and girls,

I've hosted a ready-made script from the guys at 2Moons.
The game is peculiarly similar to the popular online browser game oGame, however with a few tweaks and optimisations.
It's vastly different from the mafia game present abundantly across the internet.

We'd like to welcome you to take a small peek.

tl;dr


Origins

Originally, I wanted to host a mafia type of game, however, I am quite limited when it comes to programming and we have no desire
to spend capital on hiring one, either.
Together with the fact, that there are a plethora of mafia games out there already, I doubt we'd bring anything new to the table, with MCcodes
or another engine.

This is nothing short of a small side-project, that we're hoping to expand a little bit when our knowledge of internet programming languages increases.

Code: [Select]

As it stands now, the game is not customised in many ways -- we've added a few tweaks to the game and template, but nothing major.
The game pace has been increased for more pleasure and faster progression, we're still looking for the optimal settings, but with playtesting
and an increasing user base, we can use your comments to optimise this and tailor it to the requests of the players.

Log

What has been added:

• Small template update in main overview, looks a little bit better.
• New graphics for planets and moons.
• Screenshots to the screenshots page.

What has been fixed:

• Mail functionality, was not working correctly, has been fixed.
• Error message concerning minimum password length. (Message mentioned four characters while minimum was six)
• Screenshot page not displaying any screenshots
• Major and minor spelling and grammar mistakes. (They are still there, but being fixed regularly.)

What will be modified.

• The template will, likely, see new revisions -- I am trying to brush my PHP skills and edit the template baby steps at a time, so far I am just screwing up alot, but it's fun nonetheless.
• Background image on main page, this is the standard image and we're currently photoshopping a new custom background.
• Our own forums, so people can use it as a communications hub for in-game politics and discussions.
• Grammar and spelling mistakes in the translation from German to English.

Aims

Primarily, my aim was to bring more attention to other scripts, most communities I've run into, including MWG, were primarily focussed on scripts such as MCcodes and the likes.
These scripts lend themselves well to Mafia oriented games, but usually most of these games, apart from their template, look strikingly familar, thus in many ways, the template decides more than the actual game.

2Moons is different from Mafia games in many, many ways.
Foremost, it does not have any Mafia to begin with, and it's a sci-fi game that has a mechanic vastly different from Mafia oriented games.

Feedback

Constructive feedback is welcomed, by no means are you obligated to only compliment or tell us that you like the game, however, considering the aims, our current (dis)position, there is no value in telling us that the code is not different, not customised, or anything of the likes of that.
As this is already reflected in this post.

Bug reports

You can use this thread to report issues with the game, until we have deployed our own forum,
I wish to keep everything as close as possible to my own hosting services, and do not wish to use BBGZ as my hub.
If you have registered you can also use the in-game ticket system, or messaging system to notify us of a bug.

When a bug is reported whe'll do everything, within our knowledge and capabilities, to combat and remedy the bug.

Disclaimer

If you like the code, you can download a copy from the 2Moons forum at: 2Moons forums
Please note, I am not affiliated to the 2Moons project in any way, shape or form, I am merely giving you a way of obtaining
your own copy so you can host it too.

not to be mean or anything but the real ogame is mutch better and atleast has a working message system and better graphics but still a good job to whoever made the script

[SacreBleu]

The messaging system works, perfectly.

So far, oGame has recently been updated with a new template, we're still holding true to the old template because it much more convenient
and modular.

and please fix the links to your site

[SacreBleu]

Fixed, my apologies.

Not sure why those Mafia games are so popular. I think you've taken the basic game play in a great new direction.

I am actually making a space browser game as well, although its more spacefed/warfacts than ogame. ogame pisses me off with microtransactions and little depth of gameplay. i have played many space browsers games and would be interested to play your game and see what it brings to the table uniqueness/originality wise. always good to see what other people are doing.

ehm..did you realized that this game is an Open Source game from 2moons?

[AltarofScience]

yes, is he not changing anything at all from the code he was given? I thought he meant he was starting with their code and making some changes.
