Why does the world need a Christian MMORPG? Because Christians who stay home and skip church are often playing video games, and they are looking for a game that compliments their values, and will still let them have fun with their friends, Christian or no
Tweet
Visions is a different kind of game for a different kind of gamer, for players who are looking for meaningful gameplay, for players who are looking for content that matters, that teaches something useful while they are having fun, that builds and strengthens friendships and relationships, that is a fun and safe place to relax and have fun, to explore the ancient world, and to experience history. Visions is a Christian MMORPG that is being developed by an entirely volunteer team. Visions is a quest and skill based game set in the 2nd century Mediterranean region of the Roman empire.
Presently we are working to get our 1a beta test launched. We have some programming blocks we need to get past. We are seeking funding to pay programmers pre-set "bounties" to write the following blocks of code so we can achieve this goal. This is the development that your contributions will go toward fueling:
---
Get Login code actually working in the upgraded engine. (Half Done)
--DONE-- Get online Chat working properly --DONE--
--DONE--Get mouse/keyboard code working according to design--DONE--
Port Quest Editor tool from Chariots (and get it actually working)
Get avatars working (able to be dropped into the world) and responding properly with the quest tool (mouse click interaction working smoothly).
Port Horse Code from Chariots (and get it actually working and players can ride horses)--Half Done--

**If we EXCEED our funding goal, we also want to get these blocks of code working as well! So help us go above and beyond to reach these additional goals as well!**

* Get quests and quest log working properly
