Really tough to get it in within the timeline, but I finished it! I would\u2019ve loved to have a week to work out various intermittent networking bugs, but this is what I get for biting off way more than I could chew.<\/p>\n<p>In Hide-n-Stab, some cloaked figures are AI controlled, and others might be other players (they look the same, but they\u2019re different beneath the surface!) Your goal is to stab\u00a0other players in the back while avoiding detection yourself. Whenever you attack, your eyes will glow and your knife will show for a short time, leaving you vulnerable to other players that might be watching. The best strategy is to hide and only strike when the moment is right.<\/p>\n<p>Hide-n-Stab was made with Haxe, using OpenFL and the HaxePunk game engine. I\u2019ll go into more technical details in the coming weeks. It\u2019s a fantastic\u00a0technology stack, which left me lots of time to wrestle with networking issues, which there were plenty of. Oh boy. I won\u2019t be trying that\u00a0again any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>Give Hide-n-Stab\u00a0a try! The link is available here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-29\/?action=preview&amp;uid=36156\">http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-29\/?action=preview&amp;uid=36156<\/a>\u00a0and the game\u00a0requires only your browser and a Flash plugin to play, no signups, ads, etc. If you play, please rate it to let me know what you thought. And, it\u2019s obviously a lot more fun with friends, so get them to try it out with you. Thanks!<\/p>","time":"April 27th, 2014 7:40 pm","title":"Yep, I\u2019m crazy \u2013 finished a multiplayer online stealth game for #LD48.","title_was_empty":false}
