Mysticmichael839	A Collectible Miniatures game would be nice. I don't have that good of coding but sopmeone else who has free time could do it. I think it would be one of the bestgames on byond, especially if it wasn't a translation of another real one, byut a unique system of its own.

I've actually been working on a table-top wargame (miniatures) engine. So far it's been going pretty good. The main problem is how to distribute models. Unless, of course, you want everyone to have access to everything all at once.

My original plan was to package the engine, a set of rules (one of the beauties of the engine was modular rule sets), and some base models to begin play with. Inspiring people could write additional rule sets (in DM code, there'd be a manual) and design their own models to submit to a central server.

Unfortunately, to do what I had planned, would require a fairly complex system (not that I'm not up to that) and a central server. Additionally, it would require a very in-depth look at security and encryption.

Also, I lack the graphics ability to make the models :P

Da_Rushyo	Give it a tournment setting. You win a game or whateva and you get a certain amount of cash to buy more stuff, but it's not ready instantly, you gotta wait for it to be 'made'. You could even pick the kind of paint job you want for it ;)

Da_Rushyo	If you don't know what a collectable miniatures are then don't bother. If a genre like that starts we want it to be top quality, not ff game standard.

Gokuss4neo	I would just like to say a collectable miniatures game would rock! I have been looking around for ideas, demos and games, but can't find any working/good ones! So if someone starts making one could they please contact me and I would be very happy to help! ~GokuSS4Neo~ <font size=-3>What avails a blow that does not take a man's life?
