Engine Revision

Joshyy · 01-07-2012, 11:51 PM

Over the next month or so, I'm going to be revamping the engine. Optimising and improving.

A new GUI system will be written to address some of the crashes, a full implementation for gamepad will be added. It will allow binding of keyboard controls and gamepad controls ingame.

Multiplayer is something I'm researching and learning. So look forward to atleast having a two-player local gamemode. I'll see if I can get a nice internet mode working too!

I'm not a fan for charging for extra addons, but if I make dedicated servers. I'll need to run a server to list the pinged servers; Requiring money.

I'd run about 30 or so servers as a benefit for the users too.

You can follow my blog for what I am currently doing: http://joshyy.com

The multiplayer most likely won't have a server browser. I'll make it p2p. It makes more sense than having dedicated servers.

I'm working hard guys! I've been focusing more on the single player. I'll most likely release the singleplayer first, so you aren't waiting for the patch for months. multiplayer will be put in afterwards.

Hey guys!
I'll try to post here as much as I can, but to keep up with the progress of the patch, follow my blog: http://www.joshyy.com

I'll try and assign Saijin_Naib to post in a stickied thread. So I can keep my head down.

I've been very busy. I started a course to get a diploma in game programming, so studios will actually consider me.

Networking has been discussed and I'll be learning that during the course this year. So expect multiplayer within the next year.

I'd like to apologise for the delays. Feel free to create a suggestions thread and I'll try to throw a bunch of them in!
