How about making a game where you play from a different perspective, e.g the imperials in Avernum.... Oh, and add multiplayer! Posts: 59 | Registered: Thursday, December 7 2006 08:00 |

Hello noob. Want a different perspective? Play Nethergate. This all has been suggested before and there will never be a multiplayer. Sorry. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

Why would you need multiplayer? Multiplayer is used mainly for real-time action games or first person shooters. -------------------- "640K ought to be enough for anybody." -- Bill Gates, 1981 "But what ... is it good for?" --Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting on the microchip.

There are very good turn-based multiplayer games. Jeff has previously stated that he has no interest in making a multiplayer game, however, so it is unlikely that he will do so. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Thing is, writing a story he said he'd never write is still basically sticking to his last as a shareware CRPG maker. Creating a multiplayer game brings a whole lot of technical and designing difficulties with which Jeff has little experience. If I were him, I'd have to be doing very well indeed in sales of previous games, before risked half a year's income (at least) on such a novel venture. -------------------- We're not doing cool.

Jeff is a small company with a few employees him and his minions. Once he has including himself, ten minions he becomes subject to imperial cultural assay about which kinds of minions he can hire, he might have to hire vahnati, imperials, and other sorts he is not sure of, as well as be more subject to the empires auditors, and edicts about which vahnati holidays he must follow. Introducing the crystallosphere for many minions games may cause him much strife and grief. The claws of lawyers guild could cause him terrible strife, and the introduction of contractual scrolls could tear at his heart. Methinks that a single player is best. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh. Star Bright, Star Light, Oh I Wish I May, I Wish Might, Wish For One Star Tonight.

For the uninitiated, it's a long-running inside joke here to refer to the enormous transnational corporation, whose ubiquitous products range the gamut from shareware games under the label 'Spiderweb' through cotton swabs under the label 'Q-Tips' all the way to heavy lift helicopters under the label 'Sikorsky' and thermonuclear warheads under the label 'Strategic Air Command', as 'Jeff'. Apparently we can get away with it because they haven't yet trademarked the name. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

James's first suggestion was an OK one and can indeed be found in the Blades games and Nethergate. The second one will always continue to be asked as long as new members join these boards. At one time didn't we try to compile a FAQ for these? Regarding Toast's post, I think it went past the line and over the cliff. I am not an authority on this, but I am pretty sure the adjectival form of Vahnatai is still vahnatai. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

The "Braaains!" is a good intimidation tactic. Who's going to argue with something that would like to eat them? Also, the smell would speed the process up, and drive the prosecution to complete distraction. Therefore, a zombie would make an excellent lawyer. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

I wouldn't call that topic a true, community-based attempt at a forum FAQ.

Originally by Garrison: quote:They are all beamed directly into cult members minds from the White One via the implants. As to why Alorael is better at recieving these signals than most others, well, that is up for debate. Is it the all the skribbane he imbibes? Did a chessboard of bestow great honor? Did he eat a shark? Blue? Or is he the Chosen-One-That-Isn't-But-Will-Have-Been-By-Next-Tuesday? Perhaps it is best that our mortal minds don't know the real answer. Dikiyoba.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to indoctrinate you. —Alorael, who understands that that sounds only moderately threatening. It's much worse when you know what the indoctrination process entails. Of course he can't tell you. He has to indoctrinate you first. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Don't listen to the lies. There never was, is, or will be any such thing as Richard White. His existence is all an elaborate hoax. And they don't even have any blurry photographs or footprint molds to back it up with. All they have is a small series of games that could have been made by any twelve year old Indonesian sweat shop worker. Not even a zombie could work with that meager evidence. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |
