EV Multiplayer Status

Does anybody know how K-berg is doing on EV Multiplayer? Has it been cancelled? Just wondering.

Get ready for it.

This is as close as any of the Escape Velocity games will ever get to multiplayer:

It's called "Ares Override," and should be out pretty soon. 🙂

Well actually C.S., there is somthing in the works called Helian Wars, but weather or not that is still progressing I do not know. Haven't heard anything about it for a long time.

From what I have heard, EV/O multiplayer is impossibe. It is inconcievable without severly hacking into EV's base code, or creating another application that uses EV kinda like a plug-in, in anyone understands what I mean. But you would have to know real programming (C++ or VisualBasic or something like that).

I haven't heard anything about Kberg's project in a while. I recall a few topics on the Developer's board, but, with the search feature gone, it would take forever to locate them.

Yes, I actually played around with the beta version a few months ago, (Helain Wars) and it was so buggy I didn't bother to try anything else with it. 🙂 I think Ares Override is going to be awesome though, even if it doesn't actually make Override multiplayer.

This would be inconvievable in C++, let alone VisualBasic.....

Well Java would probably be the best (a little slow, but not much), but C++ would also be possible and in the interface part would be faster (though slower in the connection). Basic would be impossible (though Basic shouldn't be used for anything ;)).

Is this Ares Override, EVO in the ares plugin format or what? Because the main reason I consider Ares primitive to EV is its driving engine. If any of you have played the new Fallout Tactics that is what Ares Override reminds me of. If it is just the factions fighting each other then that is still pretty awesome. But what I would be willing to pay like 50-60 dollars for is the whole EV or EVO game on the net, so I could fly around and fight and deal with other players. Maybe even set up a system where you could give each other missions and pay them to do things, that would be beneficial to a planet you dominated or something like that. But I would like it to be very similar to the Ultima Online engine.

Well, there is the EVnet plug for Ares and Ares:Override. By the way, I have tested a beta (or Alpha) of Ares:Override, and two words: Turrets Suck.

Has anyone done an EV multiplayer game before. Also, you guys could try making a multiplayer game that runs by networking. 🆒

Captain Skyblade asked Captain Scurvy:

No he isn't. I know a little more than that, but you won't get any information out of me right now.

As far as I know work is being done, but the project in question depends on more than just Scurvy's efforts.....anyhow. 😉

Exactly, he needs to rally up their sorry arses and get coding! 😛
