Hey there, this week I made a new multipalyer game.

Some information about the game:
- I programmed it within the last 5 days (!)
- Up to 4 players can join the game and choose 4 character classes (knight, archer, priest, wizard)
- effects for spells and abilities
- Counter attack, critical hits and miss possible
- automatic resurrection after some time for players after they "fainted"
- 6 different enemies that can attack and use skills/ spells (more to come)
- Enemies attack in waves which slowly raise the difficulty level
- Elemental weakness of enemies (like casting a healing spell on undead minoins to kill them).
- Lowest data transfer of all of my mp games, even with ~7 actor there are only ~0-70 Bytes (!) sent per second (outgoing traffic caused by programm code shown ingame).
- No update rate necessary since everything works automatically as it is on the server, only 1 update needed when someone joins the game.
- Nearly everything is done locally, there are only 1 to 5 skills (4 - 20 Byte) neccessary to control the actions of an actor every ~4 seconds.
- Sprites are taken from Diablo II and Namco VS Capcom.
- Camera rotates by touching the left or right side of the screen.
- Controlled by the mouse through buttons and clicking on enemies or their avatars.

Here's a YouTube Video about the Game in action.

Here's a picture of a battle scene of a knight and a wizard fighting a skeleton and a slime in the forest:



I hope you like it, greetings

Sieht nett aus.

Amazing effort for 5 days!
Actually, amazing effort for 5 months or 5 years!

Reminds me a lot on Ragnarok online. However, this seems to be very promising. Are you going to take this to a professional sellable level?

Well this is actually an idea that I had asleep.
I woke up and thought "What a cool game idea!" and since I wanted to use those NXC Sprites in a game for a long time I combined both in one game.

The amazing thing about this game is, that I really have a low data transfer rate.
Of course this is partially caused by the kind of game system but there's a great idea behind it that allows me to calculate nearly everything locally depending on only a few command IDs or some further IDs for visual purpose like damage numbers or health bars.

There'll never ever be an "overjump" or actors that are being set a few quants aside and stuff like that since I simply do not need any position updates. (only one when someone joins the game, but it wouldn't be neccessary, too, I guess)

But to answer the question:
No I don't think I'll take it to a sellable level.
- I took the soundfile from everywhere
- I took Diablo II, NXC and Halo Zero Sprites
- It's just an "Arcade Run", but I plan to do leevl changes after a certain amout of enemy waves to other regions with other enemies.

Enemies have weaknesses to certain elements which allows the mage and the priest to do some extra damage when using the right spell.

realy cool like all you made

Do you use entity skills for the data-transfer then, or Arrays?
