Future
In the future, I would like to greatly expand DarkSwarm into a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG) utilizing a vast array of new features found in some of today’s popular RPGs. One of the first features that I am planning to ad is a shop to buy and sell weapons and equipment to help enhance the user’s character. In addition to the shop, I will be adding an additional button/key to the fight section to allow the character to use an item during combat such as a health potion. Additional maps and monsters are also among some of the early updates that I planned for DarkSwarm.
The MMORPG stage of the game is a long ways off, but I may be able to allow one on one multiplayer challenges in the near future utilizing PHP and MYSQL. One other aspect that I hope to accomplish in the near future is to create a community of people interested in this project to help in submitting ideas on characters, maps, stories, and monsters through the forum linked on this site.
