Does anyone play LAN games? – RA Games

RA Games Member Posts: 93 From: Sacramento, Ca., USA Registered: 05-22-2006	Does anybody play 4 player LAN games anymore? I was thinking to put that feature in the new game in development? :lol: What do you guys think? Yes? No? Are you guys doing "Multiplayer" in your project? I don't know. Just curious. ------------------ God said to Noah, "The end of all living beings has come before me, for because of them the earth is filled with violence. I will destroy them along with the earth.

Multiplayer expands the gameplay greatly. just make sure you balance everything nicely, while allowing for gameplay creativity. one game I'm working on (with a bunch of guys) is gonna be multi (kinda on haitus now) and the other I'm considering multi. ------------------ "The generation of random numbers is too important to leave to chance."

I agree with Arch, if you have a chance add it, it greatly expands the content and enhances other people's perception of your game. ------------------ The time for speaking comes rarely, the time for being never departs.

Boy, I hope I can release this thing this year, but it might have to wait until next year. Thanks everyone! ------------------ God said to Noah, "The end of all living beings has come before me, for because of them the earth is filled with violence.

The basics of online support are there but it still needs work (blessing). ------------------ Psa 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid.

RA Games Member Posts: 93 From: Sacramento, Ca., USA Registered: 05-22-2006	Hey cool, When I start the game, however, my mouse movement is delayed by 5 seconds or so, so I have trouble clicking around. It's not supposed to work like that, right? Btw, Hey nice MP3 ------------------ God said to Noah, "The end of all living beings has come before me, for because of them the earth is filled with violence.

Jari Member Posts: 1471 From: Helsinki, Finland Registered: 03-11-2005	RA Games, you must be talking about the game Darkening, assuming that reply was meant for me since you mentioned the mp3. There's three more mp3s of that type which you should check, just follow the link to the site. So 5 secs delay, hmm can't remember adding that as a feature strange - all I can say now. But perhaps it was just something random. I remember experiencing mouse lag in some games/apps that is not related to the game it self but to the fact that some other process is taking the computers processing time. But then again perhaps did this happen with Darkening once, maybe it was because of the firewall? You see it is multiplayer enabled. ------------------ Psa 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid.
