I would love to beta for you!!!! Chris.woy7@gmail.com is my TestFlight email

When is this supposed to be released?

This year it will be released. Working on polishing touches.

What about them graphics tho

Wow Von, you have another project going. I look forward to if you are testing this game for alpha or beta

one technical question : how many player+npc can the server handle in one scene ?
what networking technology do you use?

Yeah. I don't suspect this game is going to win any artistic awards. I really focused on depth and gameplay. Particularly with mobiles, you got to sacrifice a bit of graphics for multiplayer with large open worlds.


Keep in touch

It really depends on your project. You can potentially have many hundreds depending on the complexity of your game. In Wicked Forest I capped NPC's at 50 and players at 12. Players generally send more traffic. Wicked Forest runs off a device based server with an external server for saving data. Those numbers are what works when an iPhone 5 is running a server. And in that project, I created a "Network LOD" which turns off network traffic for players and NPCs not within a certain distance.

If your "net code" is well written, you will find that you will have more slowdowns with rendering than lag created by your NPC and players.
