Hey, game devs, is transferring 40-50kb of data each frame a dealbreaker for online gaming?

That adds up to 3MB/s (24Mbps). Is this alright?

Rimworld - ein super Spiel - aber geht das auch im Multiplayer?

Eigentlich nicht - aber es gibt einen wirklich gut integrierten Mod für Multiplayer mit Steam API-Integration in sehr hochwertigem Zustand! Einfache Installation über den Steam Workshop und dem ingame Modmanager.

Das haben wir heute Abend zu zweit angetestet und eine kleine Kolonie aufgebaut.

Have probably spotlighted this book in the past, but worth mentioning it again!

LAN Party is a photographic celebration of the golden age of multiplayer PC gaming!

Complete with community contributions, it's a fantastic coffee table book!

Starship Olympics

Indice dei contenuti

Il gioco open source che vi presentiamo oggi è ancora in versione beta ma è completamente giocabile e davvero molto divertente soprattutto se avete la possibilità di giocare con altre persone! Starship Olympics è infatti un videogioco ambientato nel futuro dove esistono dei Giochi intergalattici ai quali ovviamente potrete partecipare da soli oppure in compagnia.

Il multiplayer è solo locale (non sappiamo se prima o poi diventerà anche multiplayer online o meno), ovvero potete giocare fino a 4 persone sullo stesso dispositivo utilizzando sia tastiera che joypad. A questo proposito vi lasciamo i tasti predefiniti per quel che riguarda la tastiera: potrete usare le frecce per muovervi mentre per sparare potrete utilizzare i tasti M, SPAZIO oppure INVIO. Con il tasto ESC invece annullate l’operazione in corso.

Starship Olympics, chiamato anche SuperStarfighter

Il gioco viene presentato con questa introduzione:

Millenni di guerre intergalattiche finalmente trovarono una fine quando i Giochi vennero creati.

Come detto si intende una sorta di campionato intergalattico dove gli alieni e altre creature dell’Universo si sfidano in competizioni sportive. Questa una presentazione del progetto su GitHub:

Impersonerete un pilota di una vasta gamma di alieni e combatterete per diventare il campione dei Giochi intergalattici, una competizione sportiva simbolo di unità e pace per tutte le specie dell’universo.
In questo gioco, piloterete la vostra astronave e vi confronterete con altri giocatori in una serie di sfide e competizioni. Sia che preferiate correre attraverso un pericoloso campo di asteroidi o impegnarvi in un emozionante combattimento tra cani, Starship Olympics ha qualcosa per tutti.

Video

Questo video è della versione 0.4.1 (ora sono molto più avanti) ma è l’unico che abbiamo trovato su PeerTube quindi abbiamo deciso di mostrarvelo comunque per darvi un’idea del tipo di gioco di cui stiamo parlando.

Conclusioni e link per scaricarlo

Il gioco è molto carino e nonostante sia in versione beta è decisamente giocabile e divertente. Se dà sicuramente il meglio in compagnia anche la versione contro il computer è fatta altrettanto bene e ci si può senz’altro perdere un po’ di tempo con i tanti giochi presenti (attualmente sono più di 20!).

Do you like Fortnite but really wish you could play mainly as a cat-person?

Apparently you have options:

What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?

I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?

I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.

This video on third places in games kinda fumbles about when trying to highlight games that sorta offer these places, leaning a little too brief-overview, but it opens a worthwhile discussion imo.

Online spaces/games as a sort of third place, maybe better called fourth? Somewhere outside the local scope that a third place is more geared toward.

Whatever one may want to call it, I think it's good to think on.

@MagsThePirate and me, and David and Matt, made a game for the Edinburgh global game jam.

It's a competitive typing game for two players and one keyboard,

...and it has moonbears!

We uploaded Moonbear Typing to itch instead of GGJ in protest over their AI sponsorship, and made our game with hand-tweaked, ethical, proc-gen content.

I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.

For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".

Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".

I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).

I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.

I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.

One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.

Unplayed games:
Trying a game again:
Going live on Twitch:

I'll hashtag these with so you can mute it if you're not interested.

December 29, 2023 - Day 363 - NewPlay Bonus Review
Total NewPlays: 394

Game: Shatterline

Platform: Steam
Release Date: Sep 9, 2022
Installation Date: Oct 9, 2022
Unplayed: 446d (1y2m20d)
Playtime: 24m

Shatterline is a multiplayer F2P co-op PvE & PvP FPS with some roguelike & extraction shooter gameplay elements.

Launching a F2P FPS into early access in 2022 was a huge risk in an already flooded market.

Launching a F2P FPS in 2022 when your development headquarters are based in Kyiv, Ukraine? They don't make risk-management charts that big.

The premise is interesting, and the intro is well done. Even the initial PvE tutorial level is great. The gameplay is smooth, and the UI is polished.

However, the problem with F2P multiplayer shooters is that there are so many options available that a game has to present something that's utterly unique to rise above the crowd, and Shatterline doesn't quite deliver that.

In this case, that's less my judgement of the game, and more that Steamcharts shows that the average players has gone down consistently every month since launch averaging 285 players per day over the last 30 days.

No matter how good Shatterline's design and gameplay is, with a game that's primarily multiplayer, without the players, a game is pretty much doomed to failure.

Unfortunately, as interesting as Shatterline's backstory is, and as nice as the gameplay is, I suspect Shatterline may follow in footprints of The Cycle: Frontier before too long.

Shatterline is:
