Revamp Browser-Based Laravel Game
Budget: £10 – £15 GBP
Project Description
Omerto is a browser-based multiplayer mafia game inspired by the original Barafranca.com (Omerta). The goal is to recreate the full gameplay experience of Omerta using a modern technology stack, while preserving the original visual layout, mechanics, and features.
Players assume the role of mafia characters within a persistent online world that includes city-based travel, real-time chat, organized crimes, family hierarchies, jail systems, vehicle ownership, internal SMS messaging, and marketplace trading.
The game emphasizes strategic decision-making, player cooperation (or rivalry), and scheduled action systems such as timed crimes, deliveries, and interest payouts. While the game is free-to-play, users can optionally acquire Donate Codes (DC) to activate in-game perks such as SMS status or Lackey credits—without disrupting the game’s core balance.
Technology stack:
Laravel 10 (PHP 8.2)
MySQL
Blade templating
Socket.IO for real-time events
JavaScript/jQuery for UI behavior
Linux server (CentOS)
GitHub for source control
This is a long-term project with an active repository, and your task will be to continue its development across modular milestones—each representing a core game feature or upgrade.
