I finished a game in just three weeks in Unity. It is a game like xwing vs
tiefighter meets a moba.
If you want to beta, we have one this saturday at 6pm est 6/10/2017

Well sure, there are to many MMOs out there anyway. What people need more is
LAN based Co-Op games such as Grim Dawn, or Borderlands.
I’m so sick of MMOs it is not funny.
The other game type that is so overdone is “Roguelike”. So sick of that, if I
want to play an arcade game, I’ll boot up MAME. I hate repetitive games, and
that is what a forever dead game is. You got to do the same thing over and
over. Just making the map change does not make the game different.
I actually forgot about Crystal Space. Have you tried Xenko (It is alright, is
a bit more open than Unity.)? Or Cryengine https://www.cryengine.com/? Did you
know Cryeingine is free and open source, no license, no royalties, no
obligation now? No matter how much money you make now? You can even do
scripting in it in either C++ or C#.
I use Unity too, it is alright.

Hello,
I never released a game in CrystalSpace, but all you guys were helpful and
supportive. My fighter game is not bad as it is, but it requires everyone to
be port forwarded due to its p2p protocol. I think p2p will be the way of the
distant future especially when ipv6 comes out as the standard and everyone can
have a dedicated IP so portforwarding will not be needed. P2p scales at less
than n, while client server scales at n^2. So if you can manage a hack
resisted environment, and have a customer support to ban hackers, it can
support thousands or millions of action players while client server will
struggle to move from 64 players to 128.
I moved onto Unity. Now this letter is sounding like a breakup letter. LOL.
I encourage you to try it. I may finish a game in just one month of having no
prior Unity experience. Just do the tutorials until you get the hang of it.
If you want to see my new project, go to www.reddit.com/r/starfightergeneral I
would be up to add anyone as a beta tester this weekend hopefully. PM me on
reddit or email me. The game plays like a competitive xwing vs tiefighter. It
probably won't be super fun over the Internet. The reflex orientednes of the
game means it may be relegated to a Lan game, but that is okay! A game that
takes one month and could be epsorts material is okay if it makes no internet
monies.
I may revist CrystalFighter though. I'm thinking of making it joint and muscle
force restricted so it is like Toribash. Make your own moves in the dojo.
Then go fight some single player. Then go fight some multiplayer. If that
game doesn't have enough latency tolerance, it can be lan too. The problem is
that MMORPG can't be done in a lan... and maybe as a game designer, I've moved
on from wanting to even make one because I'm getting back to my reflex/twitch
roots of action oriented games. I find mmos are too much: Insert time, gain
power. Maybe instead I should be trying to make esports possible games for Lan.
Anyway, thank you all. Keep in touch via email or reddit. Maybe we can work
on some games together if you want. I have an idea list of about 60 game ideas
that keeps growing. I'll share it if you want to make some games with me.
