Looks really good, runs smooth. From a creative standpoint, it would be really worth giving thought to the story of the game and making sure its very unique and memorable. For example when you login it could have a small explanation of who you are, where you are, what you are trying to do. Just so you are not met with a bunch of generic mafia related game links. Just a bit more character. And really think of cool game mechanic hooks, you've already mentioned some. Would be a shame for you to put so much time into making a game that functions like this to just go down the same mafia genre with little variation. Think of depth. Try and absorb the user into the world. Making each page feel like you are really in that location. example, when you login make it feel like you are safe at home, deciding where you want to go and what you want to do.

Hi I have 2 domains for sale that could fit this genre. Landofdark.com Lightofthedark.com Message with with an offer if any interest in either, thanks. James

Love it as a little fun hobby, i remember doing this back in school aswell. Class mates giving me money for potions haha. Find it a great brain workout now, good creative hobby aswell.

Not ever used chatgpt, probably should though. That was one of the books I was looking into ishraq, will probably end up going for it then. Got decent reviews and I've found newest version that goes into php8. Thanks. Think the 1997 for dummies might be a little bit old school, but you never know 😃

I like learning through books, anyone found a good book? Am trying to find the right one. Have some experience but would want a beginner php8 mysql java css to refresh me.

I've started to create a game again with the old mccodes V2 engine, I had a look at gangster legends but the nostalgia of mccodes is making me go for that. Although even with my little knowlege of web security its pretty obvious how insecure the code is. Was wandering if it is just some quick fixes that i could learn how to do in not much time. Or if anyone has a secured version of the basic mccodes v2 that I could buy for a little bit. (I have bought the licence for it already) I'm quite a creative guy so can throw things around to make it look good and create something surprizingly appealing to users, but my actual lack of knowledge of coding does lead to security issues and really unclean ways of doing things. But am having fun with it

Okay, sounds like being involved with communities is best way. Will try to involve myself with that as I develop game, thanks

Hi after remembering playing these a decade ago was wandering what the player base is like now. Thought of making a game again as a little hobby, not bothered about making money but would be nice to know if its possible to attract an okay amount of players somehow. And if anyone would share, how to do that, imagine you'd need some specific advertising places to find the right people. thanks.

Cheers, but say i wanted to give different rewards to each of the top 5 users For example how exactly would i give the user with the 2nd highest battlepoints "20 gold" I don't understand how you can differentiate the 5 users.

Want to run a daily cron that gives the top 5 users with the highest "battlepoints" rewards. But having some trouble figuring out how i would select the users, i can get a list of the top 5 players but i'm not sure how i would get each of their i'd's individually to send the rewards. Don't know if i should be using the MAX() funtion. Help would be awesome.
