So we're gonna need a server ... maybe if David promised to make an Avara 2 he could strike a deal with Ambrosia and get a Lugaru server
But yeah, I definitely think at some point in time Lugaru should have multiplayer, look at Avara, it's 7 years old and still has some players. Hell, my bro and I still enjoy a game of GoldenEye once every few months when he has some free time

I'd say either run a master server (though since it would cost money this is a costlier option) or even better, implement multiplayer support between two ip addresses, then use a service like Game Ranger or Game Spy to solve the problem of being able to set up an ip address server to obtain them from. On the other hand, you could just run a 24/7 chat room on a popular chat service with the ip addresses of games constantly being immed out into it

Obviously, the previous discussion on online servers (ie. Battle.net) would be impossible due to maintainence,cost,etc. However, I would think TCP/IP is possible, meaning direct IP connect. I don't know much about coding multiplayer-functions, but I would think TCP/IP is the most reasonable because one computer is connecting to another via IP number. This method is like killing 2 birds with 1 stone, because it could apply for Internet or intranet (LAN).Viking Zippy wrote:Is it possible to code it so that you don't need a server up like that? I don't know if it would, because instead of just connecting to a server and checking it for registered games, it would have to search the entire net ...
