Oh hell no!
I've always wanted to make a nice singleplayer game for once and let me tell you: It is so much easier to work with. You never have to worry about what other players will see, or how one thing affects two different players, or player interactions etc. When the player starts the game, the login procedure sets a global variable to match the player's mob. From there I can read the players variables or have that mob call procedures at any time without ever having to reference it again. It's just so much nicer. Bugfixing is a dream. Found a bug? Oh, there it is. Fixed. Continue with my life. | |

Bravo1, all I can say is I hope you don't allow multiplayer :v iirc, animate() renders graphical effects client side and in my experience with Skirmish the game runs smoother online than local. I agree that he shouldn't add multiplayer, though. At least not yet. | |
This is just a fact of how the client/server model works. If you run a game with client sided operations and you're the server, you're doing both the work of the server AND the client in one instance. If you run the game through Dream Daemon, and join through Dream Seeker (Even single player), it should split the load between threads.
Don't quote me on that, not sure how DM does the do, but the game I'm creating abuses animate() quite extensively, and if I run the game through Dream Seeker I can easily push 50% cpu, if I seperate them it rarely exceeds 10%, on both sides. Obviously still needs a bunch of optimization (I can see MANY places where I can tune up my system). | |
Loving that, just needs some great big Game Over text and you'll be heading toward something almost as gruesome as Donkey Kong Country 1 surprisingly was with its game over.
Now maybe just maybe I can finally produce a couple decent gifs of my own tonight... Maybe. No promises. It's so hard to find time for DM with adult responsibilities. Darn adulthood. | |

Should health bars display the amount as a percentage or the actual value? Have it so the player can see both or one of the other in the systems menu,=. | |

Cooldown nerf pending.  | |

would be cool if you added a small smoke/dust cloud or something when you jump up high or at least when you land

Did someone say particles? Did someone say dust particles?
Bravo, hit me up, I got chu. I'm all about the sin/cos lyfe now. | |
 oboi it's so cute | |
 The Wizard is officialy a semi-finished class! I plan to add ultimate abilities, and I haven't set up stats yet, and the balance is all whacked, but Wizard has a basic attack and three abilities. Next up is Priest! | |
 Saving and loading now works. No menus just yet. Here's an early look at the save room. | |
