    The Grid: The Grid - A Text-Based Multi-Player Online Strategy Game

    [​IMG]

    The Grid is the sort of game I haven't played in over 10 years. It is a text-only strategy multiplayer game you play by actually typing in commands and fantasizing you are logged in a BBS. It does feel quite a bit like a boardgame and generally has you capturing squares, building farms, hiring wizards, stealing from your neighbors, inciting revolutions, forming alliances and even attempting to bless everyone, while fighting to gather all the resources a powerful master of the grid would need.

    Fun eh? Well, it is, but it sure isn't the simplest game to master and, were it not for some incredibly patient and kind players, I'd still be struggling with it. Not that I'm not struggling now, but, at the very least, I do have a vague idea of what I should be doing and am even forming some sort of strategy I believe. Great times ahead!

    You can register here (it's a link in the drop down box) The Grid - Account Registration

    As for the comment, "you will need more graphic if you want players play your game", the point is that this is not a graphical game, it's text-based, and there is already a player-base who play the game regularly. More players can't hurt though.

    The mechanics look ok, but you should really focus on the graphics, otherwise you wont get many players.

    Hope development goes well, cheers!

    Not all games focus on graphics. Take Kingdom of Loathing or Hobo Wars for just two examples of that:).
