[Openmortal-discuss] Plans for 0.8

[UPi <up...@ap...>]

Hi OM'ers.

I've been thinking a lot about stuff to do about openmortal. The thing
that is most sorely missing is the single-player mode, no doubt about it.

Also, the network play IS a unique feature of OpenMortal. I don't know of
any other fighter game that can be played over the net. I plan to make the
following changes to network:

- Persistent user names (with password and all).

- Create some sort of taskbar applet (for windows, linux and gnome) which
shows the number of people on MortalNet. This way, you don't need to keep
OpenMortal running in the foreground if you are waiting for someone to
join.

- When two people finish a network game, they return to MortalNet. While
they are playing, they still show up in the users list, but are marked as
"in-game".

- The game replays are saved to MortalNet, and can be downloaded/viewed by
all.

- Team game will be merged with the network mode.

Any other ideas?

UPi.
