Vladdemise Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hello All, I'm looking for an engine/framework that features the basic framework for account management, administration, security, and so forth. I looked at MCCodes and the other engines featured here, but the truth is is that I'd be hacking those apart very drastically since the game that I'm building is very unique compared to what those have to offer. The key things, again, are account management (login, registration w/ e-mail verification, session tracking, session security, account security measures, etc), admin tools (can be the basics), and the code needs to both have solid security in place such as string sanitization, password encryption, session hijacking, and so on. It also needs to be well documented and the code needs to be well structured, along with well structured code files. This could be the basics of an existing game that has the base framework in place with the features mentioned above. Now, personally, I'm a Web Developer. I do front-end and back-end development on a big e-commerce website. I have familiarity with and used to editing and introducing new features, plugins, and so forth for frameworks like Magento and Wordpress. I have extensive knowledge of HTML, Javascript, AJAX, PHP, MySQL, and even other programming languages such as C#, C++, VB, along with experience using Truevision3D, Unity3D, and dabbled a little with HeroEngine. I've also been doing Web Development for over 10 years. I need this engine/framework fairly quickly, otherwise I'd build it myself. I'm about to invest in around $600 - $750 in artwork, and submit the game to Kickstarter. However, I will need a basic gameplay demo in place. But, I'm also on a fairly tight schedule, and I'm going to ultimately want to release the game this Summer. Either you can reply here, PM me, or add me to MSN ([email protected]) or e-mail there. Also, if the Kickstarter proves to be a success I'll be looking to hire an additional programmer(s) to work on back-end stuff. If the Kickstarter fails, I will be doing the coding myself (but the project will take much longer to launch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladdemise Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 So, I may look at purchasing New Worlds Engine, but I'm kinda of hesitant. I like the fact that it has some solid security behind it (anyone experienced with it know how secure it is?). But, how much am I allowed to alter the code? A lot of it will be scrapped and i'll be building some heavy AJAX into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor42 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Once purchased you can alter the code as much as you like I believe. I'd personally go with NWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladdemise Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Bah, I'll go ahead and do that. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Might as well from a respond from a_bertrand. he's the creator of NWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 NWE Is certainly fully modifiable, due to its modular design, nearly everything is actually a module and can be kept, replace or removed. You may also only use some pieces and trash everything else and in any cases no parts are hidden or obfuscated. Now if you have all the skills you say, why use an engine? And why use PHP in first place? If you know C# I would personally go with C# / ASP.NET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor42 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Can I ask what kickstarter is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someone Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects. Everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others. http://www.kickstarter.com Edited December 21, 2012 by Someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor42 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Oh thats cool! Anyway sorry for going off topic was just interested :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someone Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 If looking for a framework, and not a turn key operation, I too can vouch for the NWE engine. Been checking it out the last days, and its really a solid framework. The amount of hours saved by using this framework I imagine is in the hundredS, that is if I even could think up all the backed features and structure that have went in to it.

sniko Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 You could use CodeIgniter to achieve what you want? I too would back NWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladdemise Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 I bought both NWE and MCCODES v2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
