Hi guys!

A few friends and I have been working on an isometric MMORPG called Pirate Story Online. It's basically just a simple 2D MMO with a very heavy emphasis on humor and eye candy.

We're currently developing the client in Python, the server in C, and we're using a MySQL database to store user information.

What we're looking for is a pretty easy going programmer for programming our game tools (map maker, sprite editor, NPC editor, etc..). We do have a fairly simple mapping program (quite crude atm!) and some features that already work (such as a centralized tile database on our server that updates map editors automatically) but we really need some heavy duty development in that area.

We prefer someone who enjoys working with Python, but either way, we really don't mind (C++, Visual Basic, heck even PHP is alright!). We just need someone who is capable of getting together a simple set of tools for windows.

I've deleted your duplicate post.

Given that most Windows computers don't have Python installed, why develop the client in Python?

There is actually a very easy way to convert python scripts into windows executable and thus you don't need to install python:

py2exe.org

Team that up with the ease of use of python libraries such as pygame and pyopengl, along with cross platform compatibility to boot, python becomes very appealing.
