A Spiritual Successor to W:A

[Bamboy]

If you need rope testing, I am willing to.

Not at that stage yet but when it comes time I will let everyone know.

v0.0.11
Been moving toward getting multiplayer working, so no new features visible on the surface.
+ Network hosting/joining lobby.
+ Network lobby viewer.
+ Network boring and complicated backend stuff.
+ Replay files now are written in my own binary format, and are down to 6 bytes per frame! (360 bytes/second)

In game multiplayer does not work yet but the foundation to do so is now available.

Question for you all... What sort of chat features do you guys want?

[j0e]

Awesome that you're including replay files right from the start.

Chat features?
/anon whisper
/ me personal
/msg PLAYER
/color or /team whisper team

-Allow including spectators in team chat (host can assign them a color)
-Select/copy/paste support
-URLs clickable
-Google translate built-in? (for distant future..)

-Scribble mode (players can draw on/around the map to explain strategy to each other, predict trajectory ('call' their shots), etc.)

[Bamboy]

The unique way I am approaching doing multiplayer (at least for modern games), streaming live replays across the clients, it was necessary to massively reduce file sizes for bandwidth reasons.

Hmm google translate.. that's a good one. I'm sure google has some APIs available...
Speaking of which, localization is yet another large task that I hadn't considered.

[j0e]

Just looked into it. Google actually costs money - $20 per 1 million characters translated.

Yandex Translate API appears to be free however.

[XanKriegor]

I can translate it to Russian.

[h3oCharles]

I can transate to Polish!

Question for you all... What sort of chat features do you guys want?

rainbow water xD (/h2so4)
if you're the host, a way to force out players, like /kick or /timeout
pause the game, if everyone agrees
surrender in a middle of enemy's turn
afk for obvious reasons
3D mode?

Hey! I'd love to help with 2d sprites and music. WA is my god damn life, and you have the right attitude to be a developer on a spiritual successor! Go you!

I made a worms map, and it should show some of my skills in design. Remember the color limit I had to work with, though. I have been a musician for many years.

PS: I'm a guy who loves options, but I feel like the swappable movement systems might be a bit too much. It's probably better to just rip off the WA movement system, as it is perfect.

[Bamboy]

Help art wise would be massive. I do not have art skills. Add me on steam or on skype. (bamboy360)

[Bamboy]

Hey guys! Its been a while but this project is still going! We're currently at v0.0.27.

All W:A content has been removed from the project! Yay! Thanks to Armani for his hard work.
Physics are still coming along slowly. When it is perfected I will go about reworking the character movement.

Im good enought with C# programming and this seems interesting, do you have any source repository, or site where progress for coding is updated??

[vesuvio]
