[ ] Think about adding characters: Unicorn, Zorro, Pegasus, Lone Ranger, Shadowfax, Hidalgo,
|
|
BLack Beauty, Black Stallion, Misty of chincoteague, Seabiscuit, Manowar, Tornado,
|
|
Fatty Lumpkin, Flicka, Mr Ed, Epona
|
|
|
|
Cooperative Games: Capture the flag? (bonsai)
|
|
Maze, need two people to get through it.
|
|
--------- PARENTAL CONTROL IDEAS --------------------------------------------
|
|
USer can set up an account, and then a parental control account can be added.
|
|
This account can do the following:
|
|
Set CHILDNOCHAT to Yes/No, Which disables all chat to this player.
|
|
|
|
Set playtimeper Multiple. Every this many minutes, they get to play online,
|
|
So, that effectively sets the following limits:
|
|
1= unlimited
|
|
2=12 hours per day
|
|
3= 8 hours per day
|
|
4= 6 hours
|
|
6 = 4 hours
|
|
8 = 3 hours
|
|
12 = 2 hours
|
|
16 = 1.5 hours
|
|
24 = 1 hours
|
|
48 = .5 hours
|
|
|
|
playtime can store up to a MAX of double the multiple production.
|
|
i.e. If parent sets playtimeper to 16 - and child stays logged off 2 days, they will have 3 hours of playable time. (Actual time would be 3 hours and 11 muinutes! cause they would earn some playtime WHILE playing...)
|
|
|
|
parental disable - temporarily disable the account.
|
|
|
|
Art ROom Disable? - dont allow art room use for player.
|
|
|
|
Session logs?
|
|
|
|
-------- WORLD LAYOUT AND STANDARDIZATION ----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
MONEY:
|
|
Objects should be standardized as Being worth 10x their REAL WORLD value.
|
|
i.e. bluejeans, maybe($30.00us)=$300 game
|
|
|
|
QUESTS:
|
|
Please see detailed quest manual on top of Quest Editor!
|
|
|
|
TIME PERIOD:
|
|
No electricity, No Engines, No gadgets, loosely modeled after american west, but also a FEW modern
|
|
things will trickle in... Say bluejeans? Doubt they were around in pre-engine.
|
|
So this land is, Kind of Modern Day, BUT cutoff from all tecnological advances.
|
|
I.E. We use wagons for transport, not trains. etc.
|
|
|
|
CHARACTERS:
|
|
Unique Single First Named characters (a baby names site is great) for all characters EXCEPT storeowners
|
|
Storeowners Two names, first name with last name relating to store:
|
|
FISHING SHOP LASTNAMES: Jim Fisher, Jim Hook, Jim Bobber
|
|
FOOD STORE LAST NAME EXAMPLES: Jim Applecore, John Fig, Jim Peel.
|
|
VETS: Jim Sutre, Bob Stitch
|
|
etc...
|
|
|
|
CONVERSATIONS:
|
|
* Characters can give directions, etc.. But lets NOT have them Leave character and tell the player to "CLICK HORSES"
|
|
or anythign game specific, lets leave the characters completely in the game, (they do not know its a game)
|
|
* Actions should be placed in ( )'s Whether it's describing an action that took place, or allowing you to perform an action.
|
|
* Allow a response to exit every chat point, don't leave them blank (pretend there is no exit button at bottom, because there may not be in future)
|
|
|
|
LOCATION DESCRIPTIONS:
|
|
Descriptions should be First-person-this is what-you-see descriptive text
|
|
Good Examples:
|
|
* This building is a mess, there are actually Anthills on the floors out of all the dust..
|
|
* In looking at this Rock, you notice a Small Drawing, Looks like it's telling you to Dig?
|
|
* This building looks like it's ready to collapse onto you.. whoever owns it must not take care of it.
|
|
Poor Examples:
|
|
* I see a rock and a tree here. (dont use 'I')
|
|
* BUY STUFF HERE (lets not command a player)
|
|
* Small Rocks. (Lets prefix it with "You See some small rocks.")
|
|
HTML Formatting: <B>,<I>,<BR>
|
|
Go ahead and use the following codes:
|
|
to bold something just do it like <B>This</B> that was bolded.
|
|
For Italics, Do <I>This</I>.
|
|
And for new lines, use<BR>newline!
|
|
Directions Example:
|
|
%MAPD <B>NORTH:</B> Business District<BR><B>SOUTH:</B> Residential District
|
|
Formatting Guildelines:
|
|
DOnt over use it, Use it when structure will help the description.. I.e. A note text, Or Multiple items described, etc.
|
|
|
|
BUILDINGS:
|
|
On average, twice as many cabins as Shops per town.
|
|
MOST(2/3rds) Cabins should have an NPC, All Stores Should.
|
|
All buildings should have description text. describe what you see inside the building with a couple lines.
|
|
Most buildings should be spaced with one non-building tile between each
|
|
|
|
CLothes shops: One different set of clothing stocked per town.
|
|
Equipment shops: One Set of saddle/bridle/pad per town
|
|
Groomer Vary in quality from 500-1000

----------------TACK STANDARDIZATION AND IDEAS:------------------------------------------------------
|
|
BONUS's Range from 0-500 for saddle, 0-200 for pad & 0-300 for bridle
|
|
AND ONLY for strength,speed,endurance,conformation,agility,intelligence,personality
|
|
(the last 2 probably unused??)
|
|
|
|
The Most basic Gear will do nothing. it is cheap, and simply allows for riding/competitions.
|
|
|
|
More advanced gear should be priced as follows:
|
|
no bonus =$500 saddle, $250 pad/bridle
|
|
bonus' of around 50 = $1,500
|
|
bonus' of around 100 = $2,000
|
|
bonus' of around 200 = $10,000
|
|
bonus' of around 300 = $100,000
|
|
bonus' of around 400 = $1,000,000
|
|
bonus' of around 500 = $10,000,000
|
|
|
|
example bonuses are 250 speed, 100 endurance, lets price it roughly: 50k for speed +5k for endurance=$55k
|
|
|
|

==========================================RANCH SYSTEM THOUGHTS==============================
|
|
Ranch houses are scattered around the empty lands of horseisle.
|
|
|
|
Either a single tile? Or a center tile with options to build out around it.
|
|
They have a set Value, and then an Adjustable Market Value based on Number of open ranches?
|
|
A Subscribed player can Buy a ranch. Once bought, they can TItle it, write adescriptions for it
|
|
and Even Decorate it. (generic FLash Background, allow positioning Couch, chair, painting, etc.)
|
|
These do nothing other than look cozy.
|
|
|
|
At your ranch house, you can receive mail, and send mail
|
|
You can also Build new structures:
|
|
|
|
Training Pen: Allows you to train one horse/for free/day 5 points in anything!
|
|
Barn: Allows you to Own 2 more horses! in addition to base # of 3?
|
|
Shed: Allows you to store Items here. STORE button, and GRAB button..
|
|
|
|
Different ranches have a different number of expandable slots.
|
|
Some cheap ones only have 1. so a player could only build a shed for instance.
|
|
Others could have All Around for a max of 7 buildings (need an entrance)
|
|
that would allow 3 barns (6+3 horses) 2 trainers and 2 sheds for lotsa junk
|
|
|
|
example ranch layout: H=house, B=barns, Shed,Trainer
|
|
BSS
|
|
BH===
|
|
BTT
|
|
Once built, a building can be torn down, but only 1/4 cost salvaged?
