Multiplayer games challenge - The games

[RaananW]

Hey gang,

it is time to play some games!

I have 4 submissions. Here they are:

1) @jpdev sent the following entry:

JPs BabylonJS RPG, http://rpg.jppresents.net

This is a rpg game where you control a character of one of the three classes:

Fighter - meele fighters can take a punch and also deliver one
Hhealer - pure magic healers that can't fight themselfs but are valueable in keeping everyone alive
Caster - ranged magic damage dealer that control fire

You choose a name for your character and the class on login.
You can change your class by reloading the game in your browser.

You can move by left clicking anywhere on the ground.
You can use skills by clicking them in the skillbar or pressing the corresponding number.
Target other player or monsters by clicking on them or their nameplate.
You can click the text field in the lower left corner or press "Return" to begin typing a message to everybody else, another "Return" sends the message.

You can gain up to 5 levels by gathering xp by killing monsters or by healing other players who are killing monsters.
Each level gives you more hp, more damage/bigger heals and most levels give you new abilities.

 

2) @kpgbrink, @binki & @mwiss have sent this (Including a GitHub repository!!) :

This game is still in development. We have a lot more work to do.

 

3) @Athelios and @BlueManCZ have sent an amazing school project:

http://hroch.spseol.cz:8080

Our game is school project and is very buggy (It's kind of game that inclines to lot's of bugs :D)

So it's very possible that it will crash and stop work during testing.

Server side is written in Python.

Player can equip item to hand by holding Alt + right / left mouse button.

Chat can be open by T key, inventory by E key, chest by F key.

 

4) @RaananW (whoever that is) has submitted the following:

In a Row IO , https://in-a-row.io

In a Row IO is a multiplayer 3D tic tac toe game in its beta stage.

You can create your game with the configuration you wish, or join already existing games.

The rules are rather simple - you need to complete a row or spheres and prevent your opponent(s) from doing that same. The length of chain is determined by the largest length of either width, height or depth. so: in a 4x4x4 board, the row is 4, but on a 6x4x3 board, it is 6 (so you can only complete rows on the X axis). in a 5x5x1 it is 5, and 3x3x1 is the classic tic-tac-toe we all know (and hopefully love).

You can also watch running games, or games that have ended already (including one where I play against myself! And win!). To actually play you need to log in.

Gravity can be enabled, and in the future you will be able to use powerups to mess-up with your opponent. For now they are disabled due to lack of time.

 

 

5) Late entry by @getzel (which managed to send me a message as I was writing this post):

Here is the solo alpha :

Voted. 

[The_dude8080]

Voted. Cool projects

[GameMonetize]

Voted and impressed!!!

[RaananW]

for those who voted and for those who didn't - it is now possible to vote for more than one game.

[FakeWizard]

there's one more, http://www.titansoftime.com/ it's using ThreeJS. Devs are constantly updating the game features as well as the content. 

[jerome]

mmmh... I thought the challenge was to use BJS, build the game since the challenge opening

not to be a company running an existing game done with 3JS

[kpgbrink]

These are some amazing projects. I haven't voted yet but I will after playing them more.

Honestly our game was not made for this competition. It just happened to fit the requirements, although it did give us a push to add more things quickly.

Also I am afraid most people will not be able to play our game because you need an xbox controller. 

This was our first Babylon.js project and I really liked developing in Babylon.js.

sorry this post is all over the place

[RaananW]

If any of the participants wish to write about the tech used to develop, please do! We all want to hear and learn new things.

[BlueManCZ]

Awesome and cool projects guys. Very good job! 

[jpdev]

If anybody is interested (and hasn't read it yet) here is a thread about the development of my entry: 

It from nearly day one to last week when I uploaded the current version.

It's online (as linked in the first post) here: http://rpg.jppresents.net

And here is the game info again:

This is a rpg game where you control a character of one of the three classes:

Fighter - meele fighters can take a punch and also deliver one
Healer - pure magic healers that can't fight themselfs but are valueable in keeping everyone alive
Caster - ranged magic damage dealer that control fire

You choose a name for your character and the class on login.
You can change your class by reloading the game in your browser.

You can move by left clicking anywhere on the ground.
You can use skills by clicking them in the skillbar or pressing the corresponding number.
Target other player or monsters by clicking on them or their nameplate.
You can click the text field in the lower left corner or press "Return" to begin typing a message to everybody else, another "Return" sends the message.

You can gain up to 5 levels by gathering xp by killing monsters or by healing other players who are killing monsters.
Each level gives you more hp, more damage/bigger heals and most levels give you new abilities.

If you encounter any bugs or problems or just comments - please let me know in the projects thread (link above)!

Thank you for playing

Multiplayer is a little pain in the ass :

Thinking about existing players and players to come, instantiate them.

Not using something that has not be created so check the variables != null.

Socket events are faster than the launching of the game so firing the functions once the game has loaded.

Interpolation between existing position and movements we receive with Vector3.Lerp.

I take more time than I thought.

 

Congrats JP, it's deserved  

 

[kpgbrink]

A video for those that do not have xbox controllers.

 

[aWeirdo]

Very nice projects, at their current states i would have to say jp's is my favourite,

even though your tick tack toe seems more complete as a hole and nicely made, it's just not my kinda game  
 

[jpdev]

Hi guys,

First of all, thanks to everyone who played my game!

Congrats to pepa, BlueManCZ and Athelios!
Why congrats? Well they killed the Megaslime together!
This is so very cool! I love that you guys organized to play all three classes together, level up and then coodinated to kill the boss.
They did that on March 7th and I didn't even notice until now.

I am very happy about this - I was really hoping some group of players would do exactly that.

Some stats:
There were 75 characters created, 7 reached the maximum level of 5.
50 of the characters stayed at level 1, so they just had a quick look at the game/class.

Thanks to @RaananW for coming up with the challenge and managing it.
Thanks to @Nockawa for implementing Canvas2d.
Thanks to all contributers to babylonJS.

And a very special thank you to @Deltakosh for creating and maintaining babylonJS!

[GameMonetize]

Thank you man! you did a tremendous work!

[RaananW]

And now official from me

Wow! You guys are ALL awesome!

Thank you all for participating! That was so much fun.

@jpdev, you did an amazing job. Such a great game! And as promised, this is on the way (to me first, and then to you ):

 

[GameMonetize]

Woot!

[jpdev]

Thanks again to everyone and especially RaananW.
