Journal TibbonZero's Journal: Harry Potter Mud- but when in story
So, I have thought that I needed to do two things before I started on a Harry Potter MUD, well actually 3 now that I think of it. The Last being to incorporate in some way to shield myself from British lawsuits :).
Basically, I need to get back on c++ and plan out the game some before I start coding.
One of the problems in the planning is when to place the MUD in the chronology of Harry Potter. I am thinking that if I placed it in the years after Harry Lived, and Harry entered Hogwarts, that would leave room for expansion as the books continue- but not mess with the 'plot' too much. Doing it while harry was in hogwarts would be crazy and next to impossible I am thinking- and after is pointless since I would have to scramble to rewrite everything as soon as book 5 is out.
Of course, you would play as a student in the game. I can't think of any other way to do it, since the whole thing is from that perspective. You could have different races (even though not that many are actually students at hogwarts) such as Human, Giant, Centaur, etc. Might have to do some more thinking here...
For 'Classes' you could have the four schools. Maybe I could introduce even a new 'secret' school at Hogwarts or something. I dunno. Each school would have their own abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Obiviously Slythern and Gryphindor are the most fleshed out so far, but Rowling has left enough for the other two to be filled out well.
