The game is a lot of fun.

I would probably pay up to $10 for it.

I wouldn't go shareware but rather expireware. Make them person pay otherwise they never will!

Thanks!

I couldn't find a way to get multiplayer to work.

Looks like I can only run as a client and not as a server.

How are the two clients supposed to connect to each other?

Very well produced and polished. I like the way the camera panning back and forth adds the feeling of 'action' to what's otherwise a simple game.

All you need now is for the ability to set up your own servers and you're set.

Again, well done on this game, it's excellent [smile]

Thanks again for your posts !

You could not start the multiplayer because i got my private server down. I am only a student so unfortunately i cant afford a main server which is permanently connected to inet but i will keep my server running maybe during the weekend.

Everybody will be able to download a "small" server program. which will connect to a master server. each "small" server is able to handle up to 300 Players/150 games.

this master server got the list of all active servers in the net.
as a client you press the refresh button and you will see these active servers. than you only have to connect one of these servers.

if you would like to play on a lan you can manually set the ip/port address and you're done.
i think this is the way that other programs do like bf ?

what do you mean on rather expireware ?

i will set a link to the "small" server for download.
maybe we will see us as opponents in a battle ? :)

bye daniel

Guten Tag,

What he means by 'expireware' is that the software should expire after a certain time, meaning that if people want to play it again they should pay your shareware cost.

I think your game's good enough to pay for as it stands, but some people will perhaps want a few more features.

What I'd do (if it were my game), would be to disable the network play (or at least limit it to a couple of turns or something) in the free demo. You could then send the user either the full game or a special 'unlock code' to get access to the crippled features. Then again, you could trust people to pay for the software and not cripple any features. It's entirely up to you.

If you're interested in making it shareware, I'd recommend that you make a website dedicated to the game. You should also look into online payment methods, either accepting PayPal yourself, or go via a company that will handle all your transactions for you - leaving you to just send the software/unlock codes. Share It! is one such company, as is Set Systems. You'll also need to devise a strategy to get your game out there - perhaps sending the demo to places like ShareWare.com (part of CNet).

A good place to ask questions about ShareWare and related subjects is in the Business of Game Development Forum on GameDev.

I wish you the best of luck :)

Hey Guten Tag to you to :) !

thx for the links and your feedback.

for the final version there will be a lot of extra features like different battle places and themes.
We will working on them and also build a website for it.
