Multiplayer

[Capitalist (+++)]

will this game have multiplayer deathmatch or coop?

[Blzut3]

Yes. Both.

I'm not making any promises that it will work great over the Internet though (LAN play recommended). No specific time frame for when it will be playable either, but it should be available as an experimental feature in the 1.4 update scheduled for later this year.

the original game didnt have sprites for noah, are you making them yourself?

[Blzut3]

We'll find a way. :)

[Jack Jaster]

maybe an "enemy" sprite lol

[AN BIFFED ELF!!!!]

a bit hilarious super noah's ark 3d is getting multi before Shadow Warrior redux ever does.

If only Interceptor/3D Realms would hire me to handle their classic games catalogue. (I know Shadow Warrior stuff is handled by Devolver Digital, but they still have the IP I think.) :P

I'm guessing they're going for an Internet friendly net code though which is considerably more difficult to implement.

you would have done a good job on NAM, a build engine shooter very poorly ported onto steam

The source for General Arcade's version is available on Github though I think the networking stuff would have to be a closed part given the proprietary Steamworks usage. maybe you can help termit out in this regard, should be easier without the con system headaches.

Like most of the old games on steam (Not Super 3D Noah for the record http://maniacsvault.net/ecwolf/ )...

anyway, see here http://fps.maros.pri.ee/index.php?event=1474

I'm not sure off hand how much SteamWorks can help with implementing netcode outside of matchmaking stuff. I know for this game I'm implementing the net code into ECWolf and merging into the code base, so that's not a problem for me.

If I had infinite time I'd love to help improve ports for other games, but unless they hire me I'm spread too thin. :P

NAM on Steam is not a port.

It's the original version running through DOSbox.

[Blzut3]

Yes. Almost all feature here are hand-me-downs from ECWolf. The only way that I can ensure that updates here happen the same day as ECWolf releases is to keep the delta as small as possible. As such, the difference between this build and ECWolf proper is just a series of cosmetic changes and the small feeders feature (which is a gross hack, but it gets the job done).

If ya going for both then I got an idea.... Since ya going for mutiplayer why not add the rest of Noa's family as extra playable characters?

Like Noah had 3 sons...........

Shem, Ham, and Japheth.....

But also his sons had wives -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wives_aboard_Noah's_Ark

The Book of Genesis in 6:18, states, "But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you" (ESV). Additionally, 1 Peter 3:20 states that there were exactly eight people on the Ark. Although the Bible does not give any further information about the four women who were aboard Noah's Ark during the Flood, there are substantial extra-Biblical traditions regarding these women and their names.

Due to that in different versions the wives had different names as the names were 1st found in The Book of Jubilees which was the 1st to give the names. Can pick any of those names or go with the names they had in the Noah's Ark movie they had with Russell Crowe as Noah!! , Anthony Hopkins Noah's grandfather, and Emma Watson Noah's daughter-in-law and Shem's wife!

Just saying this as Noah can't have all the fun feeding the animals by himself, he has his family there also do COOP and SURVIVAL mode, and for being stuck on a ship for many days Noah and his family got bored so they decided to have some fun playing games like shooting animal feed at each other for DEATHMATCH!

I had to say all that because with all the Doom mods I seen I know it's possible to play as the rest of Noah's family with the fan support. Just an idea with anyone wants to go with that like throw contests for art designs of the rest of Noah's family then sprites for character and face hub to match the style of the game and ones with the best styles can win prizes like both the steam version and DRM free versions to SNES re-release box, and merchandise like I seen t-shirts of this game!

You could always have the players be the farm animals, since they have walking/shooting animations already.

It doesn't make much sense, but then again neither does Noah shooting food pellets at other Noahs until they fall asleep...

[Blzut3]

Still need directional sprites for the shooting animations and stuff like that for a perfect experience. Honestly I'm not too concerned if it has to be shoehorned in as mods can fill in the missing content. However, there is a project already in place in the community to make directional sprites for Wolfenstein 3D. We might be able to throw some money at the people involved there to get S3DNA sprites, but we'll see.
