*They were. I’m still not sure if I’ll even be able to play the next game that runs, but we’ll see.
Game has a great premise, but the execution needs some retooling. Correspondence wasn’t really working out, I think trying to put “cheats” for each game can work. Specially for fighting games because they usually have a built in handicap option.
You two just flew a little too close to the sun and got burnt. Great idea, great potential. *
The thing is that i am not sure if people is ready to say it in a way to play mafia again, my game kinda needs at least 25 players to work well, and seeing how everyone was quite apathic on the last game i think that we need a bigger cooldown of mafia games.
Don’t get me wrong, i want to run my game, but i also think that at least for now, is better if we take a time from mafia games and focus on other stuff for a while :wonder:
There were several reasons we didn’t want to do fighting games.
-Latency issues would be frustrating for everyone involved
-Accessibility would be an issue. If someone didn’t have a particular game then they flat out wouldn’t be able to participate
-We couldn’t enforce cheats very easily if it wasn’t a game that we had a lot of control over. Even if a FG had a handicap feature, it’d be only one possible cheat.
-These forum games have been about what you can do behind a keyboard using words, not behind a stick. Tricking someone isn’t a skill that you use very often, as opposed to playing a raw game against someone where there are very few possible variables
I appreciate the suggestion though Hecatom, sorry if I seemed annoyed by it.
Well I just got back from going to the international (dota tourney), and I have to say that I am sad but not too surprised about this game ending. I think that the idea was (and still is) awesome, however the implementation didn’t quite work out. I would give my two cents on how to improve it, but frankly I have no idea.
Also, preemptive in on whatever game is being run next, whether it be mafia or survivor or whatever else.
I think that we should wait until lets say september to run the next mafia game, but that is me, like i said, my concern is that i run this game and ends like the last 2 games where everyone is so apathic about it with everyone barely participating, plus i think that i need at least 25 players to make it work
I really want to run my mafia game, but i don’t want to run it just to see it fail because no one was interested in playing :shake:
