subject: Programmers and game designers wanted

Greetings everyone,

    I'm looking to engage with people who would be interested in designing
a new BBS Door game. I have the basics of the concept down but these things
are always done better when there a few people involved in development.

    I'm writing the game in Pascal as it's free and the IDE is also free
and I used to write in Pascal oh so many years ago.

    The basic concept of the game is based in the Cyberpunk universe using
G.U.R.P.S (Generic Universal Role Playing System) by Steve Jackson Games.
GURPS will be used for the character generation aspect of the game.

    When a Sysop installs the game on their system they become another
Corporation in the game. In this aspect, the Sysop becomes the CEO of the
Corporation. They get to name it and manage it, hire Shunners (Shadow
Runners), etc, etc, etc.

    Users on the BBS become Shunners and run the net, hacking and exploring.

    The BBS interface for the users will be a standard console program,
just as the BBS games of the past. The interface for the Sysops will be a
console based app (Win32, Linux and I hope Mac OS as well). All BBSes that
join the game will be linked together and messages will flow using standard
FTN packets.

    While this game will not have fantastic graphics, I believe that we can
create something that people will enjoy playing. I hope that some of you
will join me in doing this as, with anything, it takes a community to make
something good.

        I am also looking for programmers for my other BBS related
projects, Wycker, a BBS Log file maintainer, FTN Firefly, a FTN Mailer
based on the last code release of the Argus/Radius/Taurus branch and
Serenity, a Synchronet File List Generator.

        If you are interested, please contact me at Buckaroo
