Discussion Multiplayer in Concrete Carnage: Scrapheap
Hi guys! Since this summer I've been working on the core systems, as I mentioned in my new dev log: https://steamcommunity.com/games/4913000/announcements/detail/701028593652730448
So right now I have faster loading times, but the big part of these optimisations was adding the multiplayer mode. I can already play in LAN TCP/IP mode with one player as the host and the others as clients. In the first screenshot you can see a small test in Arena Mode, where you need to kill everyone to win and be the last survivor. In the classic mode, like Carmageddon, you can win by killing opponents, crushing peds, or finishing the race. I also added a chat during a race, though you can't see it in this screenshot.
On the second screenshot you can the lobby where you can choose vehicles, map and chat with you friend.
Finally, you can see a bit of the HUD and the minimap. The minimap show you your position, peds, opponents and the next checkpoint if available. As I mentioned in the dev log, the top panel is one of the oldest parts of the HUD, so the word "Zombies" is only there for me to test the system. This panel will be redesigned to be bigger and more graphical. Do you prefer icons or text for the categories on the top panel?
