Second Version (2019-05-02)

Prototype Multiplayer RPG
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Second version published ! This one I can finally consider some degree of finished, as the main loop is here and a bit improved.

What has been changed :

  • Better control options, allowing for a mix of controllers and one keyboard player
  • Better class selection menu
  • "Tutorial", featuring "drawings" by yours truly
  • One fight with three different types of soldiers at the same time.
  • You can play with less than 4 people now, the game balances automatically depending on the number of players.
  • Added a few graphical and sound effects on most attacks

This is a version I will start playtesting seriously, to see how fun it can actually be in multiplayer. For reference, my current thoughts on the project are that I do find fun trying to optimise my play in realtime, the Hero class has some cool synergies to work with even alone, but I find myself only using the spear at the moment. I do wonder however if it's going to last much, and if it won't be a bit shallow without a team to complement strategies and such.

Next version will address what issues rise in this version, add a new class more focused on damage and improving it and (if fun), a new control scheme.

I have plans for up to version 5 of the prototype, and if I don't have anything new to test at that time, I will begin either developping another prototype or the game itself.
