Kin Banking

In-game economy is a tricky thing to keep track off. While we can’t solve all the problems that problem poses, we can help make it a little bit easier for organisers to manage, and more fun for players to use.

Kin Banking is a web app designed to easily allow larp organisers to run a financial institution in their games.

Players can sign up, then create accounts, transfer funds, create checks and more. Plus there’s ample options for double-crossing and swindling, to boot.

Requirements

  • Apache or Nginx
  • MySQL or MariaDB
  • PHP 7.4 (not yet PHP8 compatible)

Roadmap

0.2.0-beta
Upgrade UI to Bootstrap 5
Vagrant / Valet config

Wanna help out?

Kin Banking is a massive project and any help is more than welcome. You don’t need to be a developer to help out. There’s lots of way to help.

Tester

We will soon have a running beta site, where we can test new features and check on old ones. It also helps us to check bugfixes and patches.

You need to be patient, thorough and tenacious as a good tester and bug hunter.

Translator

Kin Banking currently only exists in English, but translations are more than welcome.

Developer

We run a fairly uncomplicated old school stack of standard PHP and MySQL. We use Composer to track dependencies on the backend.

Frontend is based off of Bootstrap 3 (but looking to upgrade to 5 soon). We use Bower to track frontend dependencies, and Gulp to compile and minify our CSS (from Sass) and JavaScript.

If you want to help out with any of the above, please use the contact form to reach out. Any and all help is welcome.
