Hi, I would definitely like to see a good Player vs. Player combat system be the next on the list. I think it is the most crucial part of any PBBG and as such, it should be well designed and balanced. Number two would be quests, multi-step quests, where a player has to perform a set number of steps successfully in order to complete a quest and move on to the next one.
Btw, great job Luke and everyone else who contributed to this great blog. Keep up the good work you guys.
Cheers

Well, by finished, he means finished. There aren't any more plans to put time into this particular tutorial. One of its problems is that it started without a design so it kind of wandered a little bit. I've still got to do Rails versions of the last dozen entries to catch up with him and then we both move on to a new project which starts from a design, is something simple enough that we can get it done in a month or two, and we don't do step-by-step articles about it as we build the code. Instead we will do overviews of the completed code, explain how specific parts work, share the code publicly, and use it as a framework on which to hang discussions of other things (e.g. something like the recent article on the use of CDNs for games).
If you are interested in doing a follow-on article about the original tutorial in which you add PVP or quests, I'll bet Luke would be very interested in it. He's always looking for good submissions for the blog.

First off id like to congratulate you guys on a really great set of tutorials, I agree that its probably time to call them to an end, youve certainly covered a good range of developement techniques....
One set of tutorials that could be good to have, and at least in my mind follows on nicely, is around the process of taking a PBBG and getting it online, what to look for in a hosting company, what you need to do to get a domain up and have your game served from it, An introduction to revenue generation, a review of the various advertising options, how to monetize your game so that you can start earning some income, what the options are there ....
Another set of tutorials/discussion topics could revolve around game administration, what do you need in an admin panel, what do you need to log, when you should intervene, who you should have n your admin team, do you even need one, what are the risks? What other facilites will you need to offer your players, where are teh gotchas?

wow, thank you so much for this :), I'm learning PBBG programming from scratch at the moment and this has been a great read, its a little hard to follow in places (for someone that's never programmed before) but most of its easily understandable. Thanks again.

This was all a great help. I've noticed that the source codes aren't on google anymore. Could you please repost them somewhere or could someone who already has them send them to me via email ?
I read this tutorial and it help me get in the mindset I needed to be in to start my first big project. Nice job on the tut and I look forward to reading more from you. If you want to check out my game hit me up and I'll pass a link.
