Ugh, network programming is the worst :(

I think it was one of the funnest parts when I was doing some amateur projects...

 

 

Not for me.  I view it as a necessary evil.  You basically get no tactile reward (as opposed to say physics or shader programming) except for extending gameplay across a space.  If local multiplayer is already being developed, programming the network communication is just an abstraction of what is already there.

Not for me, except when it has to be for me.

The game I was doing was always client-server, even when playing locally so it was really part of the core game. I can imagine it would be much worse to add it to an existing engine.

If only their Technical Combat Designer wasn't a 6 month contract and they weren't in stupid England...

Translation:  Screw you Terminal Reality.  I'd totally jump ship to Lionhead if I could.

 

I love TRI to death and is one of the most fantastic places I've ever worked, I would just love to work on a RPG given the opportunity.  :-p

I want to know what Lionhead and Rare are working on! I love Lionhead. I have to say it again and again: Fable II was my game of the year 08.

So I want Lionhead to make a Fable III but I also want to see a new IP made by lionhead as well. I hope they can expand to have 2 great teams at the same time so they can release one big game every year.

 

THIS!

So then advocate the creation of an RPG from your cubicle.

I am actually slowly but surely working on my own, though it will never see the light of day.  >_>

Sometimes the only way to see something shine is to keep it in the dark.

I'm suprised there hasn't been a game project organized here.  I am sure there is sufficient talent on the site to get one started, and I am also sure there are a number of people working on their own side projects.



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?
