Project Description
Huo Jia Chun is the name of a Multi-Massive-Online-Role-Playing-Game (MMORPG) that we have created. The game client will be housed in our website.
However unlike any MMORPG, characters in our game do not go hunt around for monsters or killing players in the village, instead they will play a series of mini games to earn points or gold to buy avatars from our avatar shop. And for this project itself we will create a total of 2 mini games, and they are the “TugOMania” and “ShootOMania”. Again just like any other MMORPG, we too provide players with an interactive platform where they can interact with each other through features like our chat log and trading function.

Features
Game World
The main features that our game world provides to our players are the various social interaction platforms that enable players to interact with other players online in the game. And these features are the chat log and the items trading function. As part of the interface there is stamina bar located the bottom right hand corner, the main purpose of it is to limits the playing time each character spends in the game. This is a measure we implant in the game to stop hard core players from becoming too overwhelming to other casual players in the game. Last but not least there will be a shortcut hotlist where users can place their items that they used most frequently in there, and by simply pressing the hotkey; players can access the item in no time.
Where do we actually get our theme from? Before we even started planning the project, we did some research on the themes that other MMORPG is the market is using. However most of them usually belong to the very futuristic style like star wars, alien monster or either the medieval style, the knight and king era. Hence we wanted to do something unique, and we decided to do something that is in between, not too modern but not medieval yet. And this is exactly the early 19th century where people are starting to get modernize due much influences by the westerner but you can still find a handful of traditional villagers refusing to adapt.
So in our game you will expect to see characters wearing both the Chinese outfit and also the western clothing. There will also be western houses located in the village.
Mini Game( Shoot-O-Mania)
The main objective of this game is to shoot down as many wine vats as possible in order to achieve higher rating score. This is a game being played individually. There will be 2 modes available for the players to choose from, relax and intense mode. Each player will start playing the game with 6 lives. The boss (the character holding the wine vat) will start to touch wine vats at you, and you need to shoot them down before they hit you. As you shoot down more wine vat the rate that the boss throws the vats at you will be faster. A life will be minus off if the wine vat do hit you. You have only 6 chances to allow the win vats to hit you after which the game is over.
Mini Game( Tug-O-Mania)
As a MMORPG, it’s important to provide players with more chances to interact with each other besides the game world itself. So we came out with a multi-player game where users can form up a team on their own to a maximum of 4 players to compete in a Tug O War Game. Players can either create their game room or join existing rooms shown on a list. Before you start the game the game host will need to set the winning score (a bench mark to reach in order to win the game) and the number of players that will be playing the game. Each player will have to answer their own set of Mathematics Question that will appear on the screen). So with each mathematics question answer correctly by any of it members, the system will add on to the score card of the particular team. The team who managed to reach the winning score first will win the game. At the end of the game, there will be a conclusion on who contributed most to the team and number of gold points you earn.
Game Website
To cut down the procedure of players playing the game and to increase the portability of the game, one of the better ways is to house everything in a website where players can access it no matter where they are. All they need is a machine that is flash enabled and connected to the internet.
In the website we will house information about our game, latest news and update. A PHP scripted high score list that display the high score of the top players who had played the Shoot O Mania. A story tab that we will talk more about the story we have created for this MMORPG. There will also be a features tab where we will tell you the features of our game. Next the quick guide tab will be talking about the tips on how to play the various mini games. Lastly the support tab where players can look of answers on the problems they might faced while playing the game. A registering function is also available for users to register an account with us and allow existing users to log in to their account. After logging in to their account, a play button will then be shown on the top of the web page. By clicking the play button, a website will redirect the players to the game client where they can start playing the game. In other words if you can have access to this website you can start playing the game without having to install a single file.
