Anyone knows any free text based games ? online.. And if I want to hire a coder to do the job for me, how much would it cost ?
Like a Text MUD game? Alot. I'd guess, $200+ bucks for a simple one made in java. But I'm no expert, nor do I know much about it. I'm just someone who knows java is complicated and programing is expencive.
There are many MMORPG, my favourites and perhaps most active is: themafianetwork.net/ There are many open source MMORPGs that you can download, if you wanted one made people are willing to do so from $100-$1,000. Depending on your needs, speaking from experience.
The script should be in PHP and should be text based. such as monstersgame.co.uk and Dark Pirates. Anyone knows any free ones ? And can it be done with 200 bucks ?
It can be done with $200 bucks easily, the most popular type of text-based browser game for players would be a pimp style game. e.g http://www.mypimpscript.com/
