Multiplayer for WoG?Detructor04/06/2009 - 05:16

Hi there,

I've read an article about WoG in a german magazine ("freiesMagazin"). And there were some lines about the multipointer thingi and how to use it.

Now, my idea would be a "multiplayer" mode, where one opens a server and then all people who want to play together are joining this server and then you can play with all of them together, seeing their mouse.

Maybe a serverbrowser could be implemented, too. And a master server and then there could be some gamemods (timebased, movebased (as few moves as possible), heightbased (you've x goos and have to build a tower as high as possible...)

i kinda see this as an idea for world of goo 2 if they ever make one. i don't think they would add it to this one.

anyway, sounds like a cool idea, but it would lose a little of it's multiplayer charm. you would have to be able to have some kind of chat system up so the different players could communicate with each other and coordinate how exactly they are gonna beat the level.

yep, you are right...maybe they could make a WoG server, that has a build-in murmur server and the clients have build-in mumble clients...or using the engine from mumble, if that is legal/possible
