Multiplayer

[Ellement]

When do you plan to add multiplayer cababilities ? some simple one so we can test our game over lan?

Yes we do have networking planned this will be explored after the physics has been worked on. We have planned for multi player, co-op and cloud development. This last feature will enable developers to work on the same scene and see each others updates ( including adding assets and terrain editing), great for international shared project development. This section will also add communications for team members such as chat/im inside Skyline.

wow , brilliant

That is great, was a turn off for me in the past with engines not having some form of network code ready to go. Seems like that should be a given. Great news. Collaborative sessions is a nice feature as well.

G'day,

Thinking of the multiplayer stuff, I was looking into playing LAN games over the internet and found this:



Looks pretty good, though you do have to propose games to get them added.

Does anyone have any experience of it? or, does anyone know of another (preferably free) solution, for up to 4-6 players, that may work (I've looked at Hamachi and I believe it has a few problems with Win 7 & 8)??

Hi Guys,

I know it's probably not a priority at the moment, but do you have any idea of what multiplayer system you are planning to integrate??

Thanks

Hey Shando, we do have a basic integration of Raknet currently in Skyline. We are still doing some tests but so far we have a client to client chat and some basic cloud scene editing where changes made to the scene appear in the other developers editor. Still a lot more to do before we let it our publically hopefully it wont be too long now

Cool

The game I'm working on is a multi-player only, so I'll see what I can dig up on Raknet and await more info.
