Hehe. Yeah, I've got back-end people, and I'm pretty accomplished with both databases and systems myself.

Maybe a toned-down graphical version of DF.

I don't think it'd be easy to tone down the graphics of DF...

I suupport the recommendation for Unity, it is surprisingly easy to use for such great results.

Unity's awesome, but hooking it into a Facebook game is going to eat a metric crapload of bandwidth and turn most cheaper servers into a smoking pile of rubble via data transfer.

The latter is true of games of most kinds, including browser-based games. I hope you have a database guru and a system administrator you can ply with beer. You will need both.

...Yes. I know. I didn't say it wasn't doable. I said it would require talent and implied (fairly obviously) that it would require cash outlay.

What can unity do that java+opengl can't?

[Blacken]

Not suck to develop with? Work in a performant manner?

Java applets are avoided for good reason: the JRE devolves into a mess when embedded in a web browser. And there are enough different JREs to make instant compatibility a crapshoot.

I have no idea what you're talking about...

@ein: That's disturbing in ways I'd never imagined.
