Development Process & non-technical / Looking for project with web integration

« on: January 01, 2015, 04:23:33 PM »

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm a developer
I'm looking to join the team of roguelike project as a web developer to write custom server and integrate game with it.

Some information about me:
* Worked on own roguelike project in the past (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgiBl8kH82g&list=UUtDAqYmcCmazWYqkTeEwSGQ)
* Created several open-source projects (https://github.com/dnbard)
* A lot of experience with Javascript(frontend, backend) and C#(backend and desktop)
* Working as full-stack web developer in cloud project
* Want to spend my free time to integrate mature roguelike with the web

I have some ideas on what can web add to singleplayer roguelike game:
* text chat between players
* saving memorial information about died characters
* ranking board
* saving characters to cloud
* provide realtime statistics
* and I'm open to your ideas

Hope to find interesting projects here.

Regards,
Alex.
