Jumpgate: The Reconstruction Initiative is a space flight MMO for Windows from NetDevil, released in 2001. Players pilot spacecraft as one of three factions, building wealth and status through trading, mining, and combat as they travel between sectors via jumpgates. NetDevil ran the service itself after its original publisher, 3DO, dropped out, and it shut down in 2012.
As NetDevil’s web developer, I built the game’s account portal in 2007 and maintained it until 2011, after the game had been live for years and was no longer in active development.
What I worked on
- Built the web portal players used to create and manage their Jumpgate accounts
- Built the subscription system, from signup through cancellation
- Integrated the payment processor that handled the recurring billing
