Hi,
Love the game. We are used to playing the Atari 800 version. In this version, how do you pause the game? Also, how do two players collude during a trade? On the Atari 800, it just required two people to press the button on the joysticks simultaneously. We are running the Windows version and using two XBox type controllers. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback.
Pausing
I recently implemented pausing in offline games. It will be in the game's next update. The game will pause when the main menu is activated. And the gamepad method of bringing up the main menu will switch to the "start" button from the B button. I realize this pausing method will obscure the screen, unlike pausing in the original game. I do plan on eventually adding a pause without the main menu, complete with the clock ticking sound, but it will have to wait for some other important features to be implemented. Concerning pausing in online games--it gets complicated and I don't know of a nice way of doing it.
Collusion
There is no ability to collude, in the classic sense, in MULE Online. The decision to leave that feature out comes down to 2 things:
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the purpose of collusion. Perhaps I am missing something.
I have a very large backlog of a lot of other (better) features that I think you'll enjoy.
Thanks for the quick response. We did try pausing by clicking the B button in an offline game. It went to the main menu but the game continued underneath the obscured screen. We will look forward to the next update! This is the one video game my wife of 30+ years and I both enjoy playing together and we usually will play in offline mode though we will use the online mode to play with our sons (one who lives in a different country). Collusion does go against the free market mechanics, but it helps when teaching new players the game without letting them get crushed, especially by a computer player. Thank you for all of your hard work with this game!
