Native VOIP - not needed, vent works fine, and is really preffered than trying to re-develop the wheel. Friendlist - Impulse has some kinks, but I'd rather them be smoothed out so they work well with all impulse games, than to try and get some list going in Demigod. Do you know how long it took steam to get a working mesaging/friend list feature going? Lobby Stats - I would loooove to see a simple ladder ranking, or something, next to names in lobbies. It would rea

Reply to Frogboy - Please don't lose hope in Demigod Demigod Forums

Kudos indeed. I too haven't seen support from a publisher like this - so open, frank, and, well, cool! - and it has made me interested in Stardock/Impulse far more than I would have ever been before. Gaming forums always attract the most negative and most annoying, and gaming communities are filled with kids that have never experienced the "real world" - nevermind the gaming industry. I used to be a moderator for an online game forum - Battrick - and have experienced the i

At 1920x1080, the chat box works fine, but I can definately understand how you can have issues with this. I'm pretty sure this has been discussed adinfinum.

On the Stardock side of things, I'm pretty happy. Frogboy has been doing a wonderful job of putting up with us lot and keeping us updated, for which I'm really happy, and Kryo has been very cool about helping people with tech support issues, both in IRC and on the forums. On the GPG side, I'm a little disappointed, but still hopeful. A quick shout to say, "Hey, we see those issues and we're working on them" would go a long way. But if you compare GPG to Blizzard in t

I'm offering my thoughts here. I'm a newbie to the genre, and it is also late and I'm tipsy. :P Here goes... Human-Computer VS Human-Human experience Definately Human-Computer. Finding a human opponent for a long term game is satisfying, but not worth the effort. Thin Client Browser based approach vs Normal Client based Not sur

We will probably start with posting a split version on youtube while we search for a better option. I do have web hosting, but that depends on how popular it is.

Good to see you Elixer! Sarmis decided to have a social life yesterday, so I thought I'd give this pet project of ours a push instead of losing again at 6 AM. :P I really like the Starcraft 2 Battle Reports, but with Demigod we will have much more interesting things to discuss then how it was a "Great move by the protoss player! He's blocking that hatchery with his probe" and will be focusing on the eb and flow of the game. The real thing we're going for is to captur

Give Us Your Best! in Demigod Demigod Forums

My friend Sarmis and I are going to start commentating matches! But to do this, we need a game to talk about! We want the replay file for your game that: 1) Replays properly to the end of the match. (Some replays glitch for various reasons, please check it beforehand) 2) Is an all-pro matchup. 3) Is tightly contested. 4) Has no profanity (text chat, user names, etc). 5) Ends in a reasonable amount of time (30 minutes). We can d

My personal ordered to-do list: 1. First, I like the randomize teams feature, it sounds like an easy add-on to really help custom games. 2. I think we need a way for Premade/Arranged Team matchups ASAP, but I do NOT think we need full-blown "clan" support yet. Just a simple "This is my group, find me some guys to bash" feature would be perfect. 3. Mod support. Allowing popular mods to be ab

Making a Video in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

Long story short, I want to record a video of a demigod game and post it online. What ideas do you have? I can use a utility like camstudio to capture the video, but getting the audio is going to be a pain. Thoughts?

Reply to Breaking Winner Keeps Winning in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Slippery slope is used more often with generalizations in arguments - ("He has't cut his grass in two weeks, next thing you know we'll be living next door to a jungle"). The term used most often in board games is "Runaway Leader Syndrome." Deaths are a big deal - they get EXP and gold. You don't get EXP and gold while you're dead. They get the advantage in flags. Is this a bad thing? Not entirely, but I do think that decreasing some of these things (for i

Reply to How do I win a tournament on Hard? (Single player) in Demigod Demigod Forums

My upgrade advice: Starting: Buy the +HP armor, wait about 15 seconds, then buy the +Mana item. Then buy Nimoth's plate and Vlemish, the order depending on whether your mana or your health is the bigger issue. If your needs are immediate, buy currency! After that, buy priests of some nature (make sure you don't get the same kind as the citadel upgrade so they stack). Wand of speed is also a nice pickup. I would lay off the mage slayer (the art

Some thoughts: - I've never had issues with my computer allies not carrying their weight throughout an entire tournament, at least not consistantly - some games they under perform, other games they don't. The key is to always get more favor than anyone else, so as long as you are your team's top performer, you'll be okay. I would get currency for your team ASAP, but otherwise let the upgrades slack until you can go straight for cats and giants. This depends o

KP-51HW40 is the model # of the TV. When taking a closer look, it also has S-Video inputs. Philly - that looks like, cable wise, it would connect the two devices. Can someone comment on: 1) Not sure if VGA splits into component or not (ie, will it work)? 2) Is this my best option quality wise? 3) Is $40 a decent price? EDIT: Kryo sniped me, saying that it probably wouldn't work. :) Scratch this post.
