Small based text like rpg game for forum

I am thinking of making a small based rpg for a forum software. I am debating on which forum to choose to make it for. I can not afford to purchase a forum software to develop for, but I also wish to make some sort of money from this project as I do do a lot of freelancing and time is money.

 

If you want to monetize it then I suggest you look into their modification culture. People tend to expect free things in free forum software than in paid forum.

 

What exactly you mean hat flametiger?

 

Ah.. I'm afraid my English is not that clear Basically look for the community respond to paid modification, if they are willing to fork more money for additional feature. Some people will always expect your mod price is free, regardless how much time and skill spent to develop it. If you plan to monetize it look for forum software community that supporting paid mod and willing to support it. These behaviour is seldom found in free forum software, your best bet is paid forum software.

 

There are a few RPG's for vBulletin all ready, Xenforo is where there is the least competition.

 

I'm pretty interested though. Anyone experienced deploying rpg mod in their forum? I'm curious about bandwitdh usage and resource usage specifically, will shared hosting suffice?

 

bandwidth usage depends upon amount of artwork/members playing. I use to contribute to adr-rpg for phpBB 2.0
