nice to hear your a godot supporter as well anyone else think they should fix the errors with rooting like pronto though cause i had a literally timer which is so simple and yet it had a rooting error and wouldnt tell me so i had no clue that all i had to do was make a new one to fix the fact it wouldnt work at all. other then a few stuff like that godot is just amazing prolly the best game engine even though its less powerful.

[@cooldud7071]

If you're developing a gameplay-focused 2d MMO, at any point in the future, I heavily suggest checking out Starbreak. It's basically MMORPG contra, it's awesome and should you return to the prototype once you're finished with your current project, you should really look into it.

[@rmcoutinho]

No

[@oamioxmocliox8082]

;)

[@rayyeargin-SSTmmo]

That's some pretty impressive work in those prototype MMO's. Don't give up!

[@oblongLogin]

I think the biggest problem I had with wizbirds 1 was the fact the game wasn’t exactly fun when there wasn’t an active playerbase, so if a bunch of people stopped playing, that would cause a domino effect of more people doing the same. I hope that your new project does not fall into this trap as well

[@Goodgis]

That's because Wizbirds 1 was never finished. I only worked on that game for a month.

[@FirithStudio]

We added a Wizbirds Discord role you can now ping if you want to play with others.

[@irondolphin1559]

you're kinda putting the game on standards that are like for large MMOs and RPG games. The fact someone thinks like that is an accomplishment for the creator but also kinda screwed up too

[@AZaqZaqProduction]

Genuinely one of the hardest parts of making an online game as an indie dev. Making an online game good requires that you have somewhat of an active playerbase, and if you're indie, odds are you won't. A lot of it though is just designing the game to work well even if your concurrent player count is low or even if just one person is playing.

[@Leonetnin]

There is an active player base. Join the discord

[@acehomi]

I love your multiplayer series! I think in the game dev community there is a strong opposition to creating multiplayer games as a solo dev/small group, and I love to see you breaking that mold!

[@Goodgis]

Hey, thank you so much! That means a lot. :D

[@SomeHumbleOnion]

Dude these prototypes have me insanely hyped for what's to come after DewDrop is finished! Great video as always man 😊

[@Goodgis]

You and me both!

[@cinny.]

Agreed!

[@maxrdev703]

I probably say this a lot, but this has to be one of my top Goodgis videos now. I love the little tip section of the video at the end and the style of the art is Wizbirds 2 and Mist & Metal is amazing! This is a great project for after Dewdrop or in between work or the project, can't wait to see some of these games released!

[@Goodgis]

Thanks so much, Max! I appreciate it.

[@SquidGodDev]

Holy crap you're literally insane Goodgis... How'd you manage to fit in another project between everything else you were working on???

[@Goodgis]

This is why it takes me forever to finish anything haha. Nah, this was something I worked on last year.

[@BeardBarians]

[@draggytales]

This channel has been so inspiring, it's giving me the urge to try to once again create my first videogame. I became overwhelmed with making the biggest and best game, but now I realize that I really need to take my time and start small. Keep it up, and I hope to see and play these future MORPG games someday!

[@lyingpopsicle8980]

Mist and metal is starting to look like my dream game. I can't wait to try it out some day

[@Goodgis]

That's awesome! :D

[@GamesBySaul]

This was really interesting to see, seeing how after each prototype yours skills clearly evolved, also sounds like the best plan, finish Dewdrop and then see how you feel and continue with Mist and Metal (if you want to at the time) rather than going back and forth or stopping Dewdrop. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@Goodgis]

Thanks so much! :D

[@PsychoGecko89]

I've been looking for that Maplestory-esk vibe for a long time. Can't wait to see where your prototypes go in the future!

[@Goodgis]

Thanks so much!

The old MMO LEGO Universe was a big influence in my life so I'm excited to see/play your MMO project : ]

[@Goodgis]

:D

[@eighteen2015]

Wow, thats amazing, working on Dewdrop Dynasty and Wizbirds as well. Looks great :D

[@Goodgis]

Thanks! I'm primarily focused on Dewdrop though. I would love to finish that game sometime this decade haha

[@UnitDev]

I had no idea Godot could do this, I've been making the switch from Gms2 to Godot over the last 2 weeks, super impressive 👏

[@Goodgis]

Yeah, Godot is awesome! :D

Awesome to see you tackle games like this. It'll be great to see what you do with this when you come back to it!

Wow wizbirds online 2 has amazing art! im nowhere near that skill level (yet) but i hope to be able to make stylized art like that in the future!

[@Goodgis]

Thank you so much! :D

[@daivyIsHere]

I had some experience working on a personal small-scale MMO rpg game as well, I learned from it and to be honest ,it's one of the best time I've ever had developing a game. Like running around in almost empty world with a friend is so much fun.

[@Goodgis]

Heck yeah! It's amazing. :D

[@JayWithABeanie]

I just want to say that I heavily appreciate the timer shown with the sponsor advertisement. It means a lot to not have to guess when the ad ends

[@Goodgis]

I'm seriously trying my best. All of the sponsors are paying for Dewdrop's development, so they are really important right now. With that said, I want them to be as unobtrusive as possible haha

[@sosnainlol4948]

The visuals of Wizbirds 2 are 10/10, i love the colours and animations

[@Goodgis]

[@ethanbuttazzi2602]

the guy in quora is actually incorrect, the firsxt m does stand for massive, but not in a budget type, but in that all players are connected in the dedicated server at the same time.

[@Goodgis]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Kyt2024]

Great video! If you don’t mind me asking, what was the new approach taken for the networking for prototype 3. You mentioned 1 had too little server management, and 2 was basically completely server managed. How did you approach balancing things for the third prototype? Also, just wanna say, I really love your pixel art. I hope to one day get a better handle on the process for my own.

[@FileTh1rt3en]

[@anubis9116]

Would you be willing to do a video or tutorial on how you made multiplayer/login? Ive tried and tried looking and to be honest their official guide really leaves you with more questions than answers

[@Goodgis]

That could be sweet!

2:36 what is the music used here?

[@Goodgis]

I'm not sure.

[@MINIMAN10000]

So as far as research into making multiplayer games. Starcraft 2 is an example of a game which utilizes the player sending instructions to the server and you end up waiting to see the actions as the server passes the results back. The delay is ignorable because the game does not have the player directly controlling the unit. Factorio is a game which actually does both. By default certain actions like placing buildings and moving ( while not shooting ) are clientside predicted. The prediction has no direct effect on the server, it's purely visuals for the client. The server then sends back the actual results and the player may see items disappear or teleport due to the prediction being wrong. However if the player is shooting, they teleport back and their actions become delayed as prediction gets disabled for combat. Shooters use what is known as favor the shooter. They use clientside prediction. Because of packet delay what the player sees is actually the past. If he shoots a player who is running behind a wall they die, they are the shooter so they get the favor. Whereas on the other end the person feels like they got shot behind a wall. The server is checking if all of the hits landed by looking at the frames or "ticks" at the point in time reported by the player. Things like blood effects are clientside however a player death won't happen until the server has sent confirmation. Basically that's the best way to handle multiplayer to feel good. Allow the client to see their current actions by predicting what should happen, and then having the server report the actual game state and then having the player change to match the state on the server. The server is the authority and they check every action to make sure it was possible at the time in which the action took place. They were at A used attack B in order to hit C all the while looking a the server state for that specific tick.

[@Goodgis]

Thanks for sharing!
