I had intended there to be many enemies roaming the board. If you see the little brown piles of dirt littered on the ground, those contain treasure and power ups. So, the idea was to get as much treasure and upgrades as you could. You would have to fight the enemies to get it. The Board player would be able to direct the enemies. To try to overwhelm you or outflank you. I had an idea about a fog of war type thing.. so that if the world player knew the board player was there, he could try to get to a square that the board player hadn't unlocked yet, and then the Board player wouldn't have such a huge advantage. I was thinking of a system where the more 'skill' a board player had, the more things they could do to the world player.. the faster they could unlock squares.. that kind of thing"},{"author_name":"Marcellus","author_uid":"26515","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 2:08am","epoch":1409104980,"text":"Great use of the theme even i it's not really a game.\r\rHope you learned a lot while doing this.

You should continue working on this! It really isn't a game at this point, but I like the ideas for direction you have. Keep working on this! I would love to play this when it's done. Maybe you could set up a post-mortem link to a github so we can see your progress? Whether or not you continue, I really like the concept. Keep at it! :)"},{"author_name":"Tosic","author_uid":"35464","time":"Sep 7, 2014 @ 9:57am","epoch":1410083520,"text":"Not bad, idea is good, but there are several things there:\r- You lack of sound\r- Pure multiplayer for LD is not reccomended (I mean you can hardly get to play with someone else, so you do not get the full idea of the game!)\r- It is kinda weird when the third player joins?\r- Mouse look is annoying\r\rIn general game is not bad but lacks lots of things, idea is awesome though!\rAnd please do not take this comment the wrong way, it is just some constructive criticism! ;)"},{"author_name":"hbocao","author_uid":"25980","time":"Sep 13, 2014 @ 11:37pm","epoch":1410651120,"text":"The concept seems nice!

But in another 'world', another player sees your world as just a board game they can play. And in your world, there are board games of other worlds that YOU can play. \r\n\r\nSadly, I ran out of time to get it all working, but right now you can start a game, and then connect to it with another copy of the .exe and see it as a board game, which is a good step towards the final concept.\r\n\r\nIn order to try it out, grab the EXE, then run a copy. Choose 'start server' then join server. Then start another copy, and just pick join server. The first copy will be the 'world' view, and the second copy will be the boardgame view of that world. If you move your character around in the 'world', his piece will move on the board.","title":"Who Plays the Player?"}
