Multiplayer Project, and other stuff.

Hey people, I haven't blogged here for a while. Mainly because I've spent my whole summer working on my game, since I'm preparing to enter it in another compo. Here are some progress screenshots in thumbnails:

I had originally planned a multiplayer release in May, but yeah, that didn't work out. But there needs to be a release at the start of August, otherwise I'm screwed. My partner is doing a lot of work with unit abilities, which include the likes of area spells, enhancements, and fancy attacks. I have finished most of the networking (which was incredibly tedious) and right now I'm working on singleplayer AI, since I need to wait for the abilities to be finished before I can start making eye candy to go along with them and finish up the first release of multiplayer action. I originally planned for a max 6 players (just imagine) and I still hope that the load will not be too much on the person hosting the game. But I can safely assure 2 player matches, which is more important than anything else.

I mentioned before that I would have a server list, so I may contact Fred about Reflect Service. But first release will just be using IP addresses. I'll make an announcement then, of course.

I'm also doing the music for the game, though I've never composed anything before or have much music knowledge. Here's an example of what I've made, although the music won't be the same, this was just an experiment. Techno/ Industrial mp3

That's all for now, folks. Some big things are coming soon.

Methinks you are a natural at composing, that song is quite awesome. What program did you use to write it?

The song is also extremely good (even though I can kinda recognise one of the synths and the FL drums).

Aye you've got real talent, I can usually tell when they're written in FL Studio. :P

Thanks. This was the second piece of music I've made, and it's quite hard to come up with tunes when you don't really listen to or know much about music.
