Text Based RPG?

I was wondering on starting one with a coder, he would be doing the coding and I would the graphics, and give the ideas and concept. I have some engines around but there mostly clones. I don't know if it would be easier to work from an already made engine or make one from scratch. As the engine might not be so flexible. The coder would be my long-term partner for the game and the managing and running of it with me.

Ideas, Mafia,Pimp, or Italian Mafia(I know italian so I will translate some texts) set in the 1920 prohibition era. I've got some other ideas too.

This is so fantastic, another mafia game! :thumbsup:

lol, it was an idea and it would have been done by the mafia,la vera cosa nostra che non si trova in giro :D

That, or I don't know. I wantedc to start a business mafia themed game. Where you started out as a thug and you worked up with owning business. The whole game would be controlled by the players. Like shops and everything.

May I direct you to this search?

I've seen a fairly well-organized and successful Mafia-style game run using the codebase from Monocountry, which evidently they sell at mccodes.net. Might be worth it to have a starting place.
