Once you have it working on your PC you can easily develop a web-based role-playing multiplayer game with the scenes and characters you like and, as soon as you are connected... your game works as an online multiplayer game so you can invite friends!
Here's how it works, in brief:
1. You develop your game using any text editor (we recommend Textpad) according to a simple, well-documented syntax. In a very short time you have a navigable, fully-multiplayer, game prototype.
2. Graphics and sounds can be grabbed from the net or custom made. GIF, JPG and WAV, MIDI formats accepted.
3. You can add interactivity in you game by inserting scripts related to events. Documentation on this is available, the language used is a simplified Basic, called SmallBasic.
4. The game is created and tested on your PC. Then you can decide to publish it online. Any ISP which offers Java servlet hosting is OK for this.
