In need of a website and a functioning game lobby area that is suitable for a multiplayer internet board game. Site should be in the style of Yahoo Games where a user may register, view current games, create a new game, or join a created game. The lobby should also have chat fuctionality. The game itself is written in java. This website should allow player registration and keep a database of relevant stats associated to each player. Website should be built so that the game applet can simply be started, viewed, joined, etc.... Website will also draw on database for high scores lists, who is online lists, and other stats.
I would like a timeline and cost to develop this project. Use Yahoo games as a model of what is required and requested when making your bids/proposals. Will use any talented individual or firm even if international provided they have good feedback and/or portfolio of work to show. Programmer will be required to sign NDA forms to protect intellectual property of the game designer. If this is an issue do not bid, because the NDA will be strictly enforced.
