for example, this one
I'm a bit sad that none of these was completed. The idea itself seems like it could work well on BYOND as a 2D fighter.
Since you only need to handle 4-8 clients at a time, FPS could be ramped up with better physics and custom collision detection.
Do you think a smash-like would work well on BYOND?

To answer the core question, when dealing with a low amount of clients you dramatically open up what you can realistically handle over the network with BYOND. However there's still in inherent limitation on the latency you can achieve with BYOND due to the way the client/server model is handled so you're always going to be working against that regardless of how few clients you have connected... even on LAN.

I spent a couple hours and threw a quick prototype together, seems to be handling ok. I'm sure with a bit of actual effort a full game could be made.
 ^ you can download this here btw if anyone's interested | |
yeah I'm still not so sure. I think I could probably figure out the physics part of it, but I'm not sure how I'd deal with latency.

also discovered that a flash smash clone exists. So I guess there's that.

*cough*
http://www.byond.com/games/Oondivinezin/ECS Keep in mind, it is old as dirt. I've got a remake of the engine more or less ready and just needs character development, but I think you get the point. | |
I fixed it, Orange55. Download is back up.

if u want super accurate hitboxes just use unreal engine or unity
everything for that stuff is mostly built in or easily plugged in and u don't need much understanding at all to get it working how u want | |
a sloppily made fighting game is just not worth making... aka the three linked. You don't like your own creations? :( | |
that was it; it works now.
but the tile movement man xD did you make this before pixel movement was a thing? | |

Here's one that exists: They actually just released on Steam a couple days ago! | |
Yeah, more or less. I was still working on this after pixel movement was released, but it would have required remaking the entire engine to convert it to pixel movement.

Not .. really smash like.. but still amazing for when it was made...

As the hub says, they moved to a different game engine. I hear it's still being developed.
Here's a smash-like made with BYOND by Yut Put and released only on Steam:
