Reply to Demigod: How games are made in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I'd like to suggest another thing, to avoid unnecessary flames and endless discussions about the same problems. It's really fairly simple. [b]Create a "READ BEFORE YOU POST: Reported bugs" thread as a sticky on several (applicable) forums[/b]. * Problems that are technical/on the user's end can have a simple link to a topic teaching them how to solve it. [b]* People can read which problems have already been reported and have been picked up by GPG/SD as broken[/b]

[quote who="angryandroid" reply="3" id="2252410"]So does that mean because I bought the game on Impulse yet live in the UK, I should go on the Atari forums? Other than that, an interesting post. [/quote] SD has stated that they are responsible for all digital downloads.

[quote who="Dead Ghost" reply="10" id="2249988"]This was the biggest mistake and it's SD's fault because you could have postpone the release date by a couple of months and make DG's MP work with either Gamespy or GfWL, and not risk it with some untested p2p netcode (Raknet). All of these problems could have been avoided by just postponing the release.[/quote] It's not that simple. Game studios have contracts, publishers have contracts, lots of money is invested (could run in the milli

@ opening post I love this update. As a programmer (sort of) I love the technical stuff. If you ever feel like it post another technical thread. I'm sure the ones that understand it find it an intresting read. I'm wondering one thing, about RakNet. It is ofcourse true that often times it's better to 'fix things yourself' as it's usually quicker. 2 parties mean that party A has to convey the problem to party B, things are misunderstood, have to be cleared up

Reply to Sim speed warning idea in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Well it should be fairly easy for GPG to point out some settings that will help your cpu and thus sim speed. Or maybe they could up the priority of sim calculations and leave the graphics for whatever cpu power is left after you get sim speed = 1.

Well distracting a group of minions could screw up the 'meet point' but I don't see that being a problem. It's just another strategic option to think about. Do I hold up an enemy group of minions so my own can go straight to base or not?

Nah leave it.

Sim speed warning idea in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Forgive me if this idea has been posted before, I don't read all multiplayer topics. The idea I'm having is simple: there have been a lot of complaints about not ping, but Sim speed. Players with low Sim speed will slow down multiplayer games, thus ruining the fun for others. How about GPG or SD implements some kind of small benchmark for sim speed. I understand sim speed is mostly about cpu. I've seen other games with 'benchmarks', so

Please don't add all of this information. The result will be a simple X - Y + Z = WIN. Knowing all of this will not make it a game of skill, but a game of predictability. And for me, predictability equals no fun whatsoever.

Reply to New Map Idea: Pit (1v1) (with Pics) in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Love the idea. One small thing bothers me though. If I were a DG and I'd kill the group of enemy minions closest to their base, my group of minions would immidiatly start attacking their citadel, as there is little else to protect them? You mentioned towers but I don't see them on the map yet. This is something to thing about, but probably with some tuning you can still make it an awesome map. Maybe also worth scaling it up just a tiny bit and making it 2 vs 2.

[quote who="mriguy" reply="7" id="2246505"]I am more concerned with Stardock. Sins of the Solar Empire was a terrific success but they are too busy with Impulse in the hopes of becoming the next Steam. I wonder how much different Demigod would have been if Stadock abandoned all the money and time wasted on Impulse and just concentrated on developing good games.

How long did you run the memtest program? 1 cycle is not enough, some faults happen seldomly but can regularly crash 1 certain type of game. I've had this before. WOW crashed every so often, and only WOW, no other application, and I couldn't find out why. I was raiding at the time so I wanted it fixed. Memtest did not indicate an error after 30 minutes of testing. But I kept having the errors. Then later I ran the test the whole night, running over 6+ hours (I don't sle
