Hello hello,

Over the past couple of weeks I've been using my (somewhat limited) free time to make a iPhone (and iPod Touch) game (although it works on a wide range of mobile devices, as well as the net) - I say mobile based game, but really "small screen compliant" would be more accurate...

... annnnnyyywaaay. The game is a (completely free) browser based game that creates a kingdom when a person register's..* then places them in a world with all the other people playing the game... you can then build on your land, spy on people, go to war, join and create alliances, send out diplomats, train warriors, sell and buy at market, etc etc.

What I'm looking for is more testers to help out with stress testing the game - so if any of you have a moment or two and would be willing to spare some time, the game is available at:

http://www.kingdomgame.net

If you have any questions, either post them here, on the forums at kingdomgame.net or send a message to "system" in the game.

Be aware the game is in Alpha at the moment (moving to beta on Sunday) so there are a few bugs still there...

Hope to see you there,
Paul Hutson

Sounds like a cool idea, but the idea of "registering" to play a game doesn't thrill me. If I could make an account without having to give out my email address, maybe I'd be more willing to try out the game.

[Paulhutson]

As it's a test phase, you need not put in a valid email address.

For those who may be interested: The game is back up and running now, after the DB connection problems of the weekend.

is it possible to get some screenshots first?

[Paulhutson]

Erm, yeah.. sure, I'll knock a couple up in a mo

Here are four screenies to have a gander at..:

Here's the login screen..


This is the overview screen, giving you a bit of information about your kingdom, there is a more detailed overview (which you can see the link for..)


This one shows the top half of the rankings screen, with whose at the top and how many points they have.. there are just under 250 kingdoms in game now:


The Alliances Screen, where you can control your alliance.. this one shows the TRT alliance:


There are loads of other things I could have "screen shot'ed" - spying on kingdoms, "holy effects" - where you can give yourself enhancements, or hurt your enemies - attacking, diplomacy, etc etc...

I'm surprised not more people have shown interest in this game. This is probably the most fun iPhone game out there--native or web.

Basically, it's a text based multiplayer game. Somewhat like Civilization in it's idea, but more simple and text based. And more like Urban Dead in its text-based...ness.

You don't have to put down your real email address. Give it a try. I'm pretty hooked on the game.

Paul, you may want to put a more attractive topic title and try to promote the game a little bit more through this forum (it not a lot more). I was going to tell people about this until I saw this topic by chance.

[Paulhutson]

What sort of topic title do you think would be better?

Regards,
Paul
