Multiplayer design
From X-Moto
Here shall be discussed how the multiplayer modes shall be designed and integrated into the game.
For easy overview without tons of explanation, I have created a dia where the first basic ideas are shown. Please download the .dia file to modify and re-upload also as .png to allow a quick look.
Multiplayer Modes
Free Ride:
Players play their own game (after death immediate respawn at start), but can see each other in the level: -not much Multiplayer Effect, but fun. Fun because you try finishing a hard level first. With lots of deaths it can be fun, because its still competing.
Race:
Players start simultaneously, after death, the player has to wait for the other to die or finish the level.
Cooperative:
Special Levels which need cooperative Help to be finished (heavy scripting there).
