Hi,
I'm the creator of Spirit Fever. I'm honored you want to make a game like mine.
Here's a little bit on how we work.
We have one programmer that does only code and is in charge of database and server.
I'm the game designer, producer, webmaster, community manager and translation manager.
We both work for free on our free time since the end of 2006.
We also have hired an freelance artist to do the art.
The game is programmed in GWT, Google Web Toolkit. It allows you code in Java and compiles JavaScript directly special code ofr each browser. And it's AJAX, so you never need to refresh the page to make an action. So our mini-games are more interactive that you could do in PHP.
Feel free to ask me if you have any other question.
