History of King of Lands
King of Lands started out as a completely different idea than what it is today. My first idea was to have each player control a little village and attack each other, but that seemed a bit boring. I then moved on to the current gameplay, but very limited when I first released it to the public on July 30, 2007 (When I was 15). The site first started as blue. The next theme was better, but still horrendous. It sported clashing brown and yellow colors. Finally, the site's layout became this very pleasant layout.I initially had phpbb2 forums with a few posts, but it was hosted at a free mysql site. That site had a large scale database wipe out... unfortunate. So, I then secured mysql on the host the site was hosted on and started fresh forums with phpbb3.
There has been countless updates and hours poured into this project, each giving more gameplay or new functionality. You can also see most of the updates in the forum; I tried to keep up a list there.
In the end of my 2007 sophmore high school year, the website won 2nd place at a youth tech fair in web design.
The site has changed a lot from the original concept and original days, but it still has a long way to go and I still have endless ideas for the game... the only thing left is to sit still and wait.
