Freelance Developer to Create a Website

Triumverate Inc.Job Details
I would like a website designed in ten days or less and it really shouldn’t take that long since I just want the website with all of the admin features and everything without any content whatsoever. I will provide the content myself. The website will consist of the actual site which is basically a fanfiction-type site where people can submit their stories and get rated and reviews on those stories, a video section where videos can be posted, a forum, and an rpg which will also act as a chatroom for those who don’t like rpgs but simply want to chat.
The Actual Site: I would like the template of the actual site to be anime related. Maybe have a half FMA half Inuyasha kind of theme or something of that sort. I will leave it up to you to decide but it must be anime related. Also the homepage will be a regular homepage where news updates and the like will be posted just like any other homepage. The layout of the site will be much like fanfiction.net except much nicer and it will have the above stated anime template and there will only be a few categories where the stories will be listed which I will create myself later after the site is finished. Users should be able to write stories of unlimited length but it will have pages of course if it gets too long. They will also be able to edit their story and add chapters if it needs chapters as need. Other users will be able to rate them by giving them a rating from 1-10 based on their writing and can also write reviews on their writing. Guests woud only be able to access the homepage in its entirety and they would be able to see everything else to a certain extent. They’d be able to read maybe 25% or so of the first page of a story and maybe the first 10-20 seconds of a video and won’t get access to the forums or the rpg at all. It’ll ask them to register and sign in when they try to access them. We would also like maximized security if possible. We want the site to be unhackable and all of the users to feel that all of their information is completely safe with us. The profile page of site members should be similar to that of a myspace profile. Being able to add music, a blog, etc etc is absolutely necessary. Also being able to change the color of your profile and maybe adding in a few special anime templates would be great if you have time. Also all of the profile options and stuff they have should be added but worded differently so it’s not like we’re stealing from myspace even though we are. Lol. :P It should also show their rating as a writer if they did post stories and were rated, their forum information if they joined the forum, their rpg information if they play the rpg, and their video information if they posted videos.
The Video Section: The video section will be where videos are added. They will be categorized neatly in sections then subsections that will be created by myself and other administrators. The videos will convert into a flv format if they are not already in a flv format and will be watermarked with our official copyright signifying that the video will now belong to us once posted on our site. The videos should be able to be added by url format or by uploading from their hardddrive and will still be watermarked and have other watermarks that were already placed on the videos from other sites like youtube REMOVED if possible and replaced by our own. Users will be able to post comments and rate other people’s videos accordingly. They will also be able to flag people’s comments as spam and if a certain comment is flagged a certain number of times then that comment is removed and that person loses their video commenting and posting privileges for 24 hours and if their comments are flagged yet again then they are banned from the site. Profiles will link to that person’s profile page.
The Forum Section: This of course will be the official forum of the site. I will leave it up to you guys to decide on an official forum for the site but it should be extremely secure and unhackable if possible. The forum will have a reputation and karma system where only moderators and admins of the forum can give reputation for users if they’ve been helpful or behaved and take away reputation if they’ve been bad. Reputation should be able to go into the negatives. The Karma system will be able to be used by all forum members and it basically gives a fairly accurate depiction of how that person behaves so if they have negative karma then they are perceived as being evil but if they have positive karma then they are perceived as being good. Each user will only be able to assign one karma point per day. The forum will also have a ize system which is gold except it’s called ize where members earn one ize for posting and get 10 ize for every hour they’re online on the forum. It should have a banking system for that gold so players can bank their gold and sell their reputation or karma for gold as alloted by the admins. There should also be an interest system for daily weekly or hourly interest which would be set by admins for up to 100% if they banked their gold. Profiles will link to that person’s profile page. There will be usergroups with different levels of access to the forum that will be decided by the admins and each user group should be automatically assigned by forum posts if I choose to have them assigned by forum posts or assigned by the admins. There will be one forum with sections and sub sections if so deemed by the admins. Posts should be able to stickied, moved, edited, quoted, closed, and all that other good stuff by admins and moderators. People should be able to see who is online on the forum and what usergroup thei belong to which will be signified by the color of their names or whatever works best for you guys. When people post their picture or avatar should be shown near their post.
The RPG: The world was created by the almighty Dragon who is also known as name not known yet. He served as Guardian of the world for a long time as the planet slowly began to mature. He grew bored one day and decided that being alone in the world was not for him and created from him a pureblood dragon and a Drake half-dragon with humanoid features. Having done this made hiom immortal no longer And knowing he didn’t have much longer to live he decided to give them both names and tasks. The pureblood dragon was named Tadzik and the Drake was named Tadzak. They were twin brothers yet looked completely different. Tadzik was the god of war, prosperity, and death. Tadzak was the god of peace, fertility, and life. They were destined to clash so they decided to go their seperate ways and take half of the world as their own and they build their halves accordingly. The great Guardian Dragon with his last breathes told them that they had to get along if the world was to truly prosper and joined their two halves together and died after that. This angered them greatly and started the eternal war between the two races that continue to rage on even today. Tadzik and Tadzak were gods and as such did not associate with the beings they created but were getting lonely nevertheless so they created animals, monsters, and the like that would accompany them and keep them company. These creatures breeded with one another and soon there were too many for them to handle so they gave them to their creations to use however they wished since they did not care for them as they were not originals. These creatures were then used as guards, or guests or accomplices in wars and battles between the two races. Logic puzzle minigames…Sudoku-like games, word find-like games, maybe escape from an area games where you have to make it out alive in a certain period of time, identify which monster is the culprit from the description given by the npc, etc etc I will leave it up to the winning bidders to create the minigames for the game but there should be at least five and the price of getting to play the minigame and the prizes won from said minigame should be easily adjusted by the admins. There should also be a few lottery-like games where you can choose a chest and a random prize will be given to the person and of course the prizes and the chance of obtaining the prizes and the price of playing the game and how many times you can play the game should all be easily set by the admin. The game should be half graphical and half text. The graphics should be similar to www.barponline.com yet more finetuned and there should be some room for a text description of the area. I’m not sure if I explained that well but the winning bidder will basically be the decider of how the game will look and hopefully be able to incorporate my vision into a great game. There will be two selectable races to start off so there should be a few sprites or avatars available for both races which are the dragon and the Drake which is half-dragon. Their stats and the like will be set by the admin. The battle system of the game will be fairly straightforward. Damage done is determined by strength and damage of your weapon and the opponent’s armor and dexterity values. More information will be provided on those later on in here. Also magic damage will be affected by magic defense. When a fight is initiated the fighting will go back and forth in rounds like the player attacks then the opponent attacks until either of them flees or dies and the player will be able to use skills/spells during the battle. The stats of the game will be as follows for players: Strength- Determines how much damage you can deal and what armor and weapons you are able to use. Strength of 1=2 damage barehanded Strength of 2 =4 damage barehanded and increases by 2 damage for each strength value and what armor you can wear will be set by the admins on the armor. Dexterity- Determines how many attacks per round you get, your armor values naked, and how well you can use weapons. Dexterity of 1= .5 attacks per round Dexterity of 2= .75 attacks per round and it will increase in that fashion. Dexterity of 1 = 1 armor naked, Dexterity of 2= .75 armor naked and it will decrease in that fashion. Negative armor values are good. I will leave it up to you to determine how it’ll affect weapon usage and of course this will all be easily adjustable. Intelligence- Determines how much mana you get when you gain a level, determines how many skill points you get when you level up, and determines how quickly you will master a skill. Intelligence of 1= 5 mana per level. Intelligence of 2 =10 mana per level and it will increase in that fashion. Intelligence of 1= 1 skill point per level. Intelligence of 2= 1 skill point per level. You will gain 1 extra skill point for every 3 intelligence points gained to keep people from being able to learn too many skills at once. I will leave it up to you to determine how intelligence affects your skill mastery but it should be relatively simple and adjustable if needed. Constitution- Constitution will determine how much hp you gain when you level up and whatever else you guys decide would be good for it if anything. Constitution of 1= 5 hp per level. Constitution of 2=10 hp per level and it will increase in that fasion. Charisma- Charisma will determine npc shop prices for the player, how many pets they can summon at once, and how npcs react to them in general. Charisma of 1= no bonus Charisma of 2= no bonus. There will be .25% decrease in npc shop prices for every 3 charisma the player gains. This will work the same for pets except the player can use 1 more pet for every 3 charisma gained. I will leave it up to you to decide how it’ll affect npc relationships with them for quests and minigames but it should all be completely customizable. Players will start off with 5 stat points that they can spend as they choose and will get a random generic weapon and armor based on their class which should be settable by admins. Players will get 3 extra stat points and skill points based on their intelligence every time they gain a level. Levels and experience needed to gain a level will be created and completely customizable by the admins. Quests should be relatively simple quests but not tedious quests like collection quests, kill quests, find npcs quests, protect npcs quests and should beasily customizable and addable by admins. There will be absolutely no pking in the game but players can challenge one another to duels. There will be clans in the game and each clan can have a maximum of 200 members. Clans will be able to challenge each other to clan wars and the winning clan will receive a certain amount of experience of the total experience of the other clan to all of it’s members divided with the leader receiving the most experience. Gold awarded will be based on how much gold each clan wgered if any gold at all was wagered/ Clans will be created by game admins only so game admins will determine the price of creating a clan and clans can also have clan halls that will also be created by the game admins. Pets will follow around their owners until they die or are released by the owners. They will be the same level as their owners and gain levels when their owners do. Pets would also have skills and spells which would be created by the admins in the admin panel. Sprites will be needed for the player characters, pets, and monsters. Similar to barponline.com but not blocky. Monsters will be named, given exp, gold, levels, and stats by admins. There will also be boss monsters that will also be given everything needed by the admins. Authorize.net or 2checkout.com would need to be integrated into the game somehow and I’d need to be able to add membership options and set how long it’d last from a day to permanent and also be able to sell ingame items for real money as well. This would be be adjustable in the admin panel. This game is very simplistic if it is read right and as such I would like it completed
The Gallery SSection: I want it like animegalleries.net but nicer, more user friendly, and of course with an anime template.
The Payment System: As mentioned above it would be authorize.net or 2checkout.com or something similar that I could possibly link to my bank account. I would like to be able to charge for players to go beyond a certain level in the rpg or for anything in the website or the rpg. I’d like this done in 10 days or sooner if possible. The highest I can go for this project is $1,500. We can negotiate payment if you can do the project.
