I mentioned that this project was in development in a recent post here, and after some decision making,
I've decided to open it up for collaborative design & development.
I figure that I will end up building a better game by getting other people's input.
Anyone who contributes will get their name in the credits.
The game itself will be freely playable online.
If other platforms become a target at a later time, profit-sharing will be discussed with all contributors.
Jump over to the wiki for the project if you are interested.

Hrm... too bad this is outside of my language preferences as well as preferred game genres. Ah well... I'm sure some others here would be interested.

The code snippets in Coding Conventions look an awful lot like AS3. Are you using Flash for this?

-though in your defense, it was not on the wiki but on the project homepage.
Its been added to the wiki.

That seems interesting.
Are you going to use a pre-built engine or roll your own?

I always roll my own engines, you should know that by now.
Its not exactly difficult anymore ^-^ I'm a far more skilled programmer than I used to be.

I volunteer my BASIC scripting engine, if you have need for one of those. Has complete parser and variable substitution, and is stable.

I generally do all scripting within the same language as the game - since you _have_ to recompile the game anyway to create a self-contained swf, there is no way around it. External files are a no-no when it comes to flash games - especially when you are working with distribution portals.
But thanks for the offer.
