Sound: not necessary, but desirable=)
Background Music: Yes.
Auto update... Well, Minecraft-wise? If it's implementable, ok.
Member portraits, we should decide if we'll gonna implement them at all.
Ability for player to add him/herself to the tree: Yes, through the game menu (See the Main menu part). But it's local to one game only, a global update should follow.

A JO year doesn't have monhs, but 368 galactic days. It lasts 1 real-time month.

There's a formula to calculate it, but I don't think it's that necessary=)

Is not necessary. And for MANY, MANY, MANY you will find no such data.

So just the year is enough, as integer.

There are two ways to implement the date. I think the year alone is not enough, as we can discover the complete date for some events (see the timeline for example). Therefore there are two ways: either Year 175 day 202, or Year 175 July 17th. Real date or JO day.

But naturally the date will not be complete for the most stuff (pre year 110) so approximate dates should be allowed. Or the possibility to add just year.

I finished the database manager , I haven't really started the design phase but what i have in mind is :

We will probably use Java because swing is uber and fast GUI API

the classes will be split into three main  packages(groups) some of these may have sub groups

  • Engine : will Contain all the game logic and will probably be the largest
  • misc : will contain the classes for all the daemon (helper) threads (resource loading and such) will also contain delegator class for GUI
  • gui : will contain the classes associated with the graphical user interface
in order to prevent the gui from becoming slow or "sluggish" we will probably use daemon threads for any event handling that could potentially take a long time, thus the game will be multi-threaded which as a downside will require more work and planing
to ensure synchronization.

the development will take an iterative approach in all packages

but priorities are :
  • engine
  • gui
  • misc


also we will need someone to do the graphic design if we want images/icons/portraits and that sort of thing

If we don't find anybody for the graphic design, I can take care of it.

Also we will need some time to test the suggestions appearance/difficulty levels.

I've tried to open your database, but it wouldn't let me. There's files missing in every piece or other errors.

What should I start?
