Hello there. You know, I needed a little time-out so I thought that it would be great to spread my experience from another games for you.
Well, my online gaming experience (not only text-based games) is quite big. I’ve started with an old game “Fate Lords” (also made by Lithuanian programmer, then it was “Playteq”, “America’s Army”, “Street maniacs” - another Lithuanian product, “Macropoly” - and another one ;) (still existent, but not that popular as it was), “Hobowars”, “RaceD”, “RaceD2″, “Trackmania”, “CritticAge”, “Andatura”, “Hattrick”, “rFactor”, “WarRock”… I could continue, but I think thats a big list already.
Introduction
Let’s get things clear: this post is about online games advantages and disadvantages based on my own experience. As well, at the end of the post you will find some updates on Mad For Speed progress.
I’d like to take my chance and tell you, that this is just my own opinion, it may differ from the one you have, but discussions are a great way to find the best solution.
Let us begin…
(more…)
I’d like to inform you, that we have published Mad For Speed game rules, so you can start reading them.
But we have a more important question:
Would you like to be part of the game?
What we want to ask is: would you like us to make polls on certain parts of the game?
Are you ready to be active, when posting your opinion?
Just post below and let us know. Then we will see, maybe we will start making polls about tuning parts, cars or even more serious parts of the game
Hey there.
One evening i was thinking about website defaces and how to make a protection against them, as after deface the game would be unreachable until me or Skyruler come online, so what would happen if we were on vacation at that moment?
After few hours of thinking I’ve developed a protection system in my mind and the started coding it.
Almost all my thoughts came true, but still it’s not fully finished.
If someone finds a bug in the game system and uses it for a deface - he would succeed, but the game would repair itself after an hour. This solution does not suit me, however, I don’t want to slow down the game with this addon, so can’t execute it every time a visitor comes.
I’ll making a search of an optimal solution.
Well, but on the other hand, we feel much more safe, as we know that the game will try to repair the damage and it would be down for no longer then an hour now.
Going back to forum development, maby after that I’ll find the way to make this a more stable and smart system, to provide us with as much security as it is possible (non of the applications are 100% secure, our aim is 99% if possible)
