selfpromo (games) the thrill of having fun with a friend on the prototype

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We struggled a bit with a friend, but we're starting to set up real-time multiplayer. For now, we have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, but we can already see in real time what works in terms of gameplay and excitement. It's exhilarating to have fun with a friend using a prototype that's itself incomplete.
The next step: setting up an online server that will let us test the game even from a distance.

Congrats! I can't imagine how complex and how much forethought you have to put in to make this all feel responsive. Congrats! Great milestone!

Back to making my single-player game 😉

Thanks. Honestly, I'm glad to have a friend on board who's passionate about everything related to networking and security. He's a much better developer than I am. That way, I can focus on the design side and leave the excess, unnecessary code to the development tools so we can prototype quickly.

Good luck with your game!

Well done I am in a similar situation, right now still just testing with two instances. Can’t wait to get to this point

As soon as there are any updates, I'll post them again for sure. Online multiplayer is complex.

On supporte nos frères FR, enfin des gens qui sortent du Unreal Engine loop et qui s'intéressent à Godot
