Journal



Sugar Loco Wrestling is a multiplayer minigame starred by wrestling stereotipes wearing aprons and beating them off with cakes. The game will have two main phases:

The first one, a minute to make all the cakes we can with a limited amount of ingredients, wich will affect the behaviours of the cakes when we launch them (speed, strength, bouncing, multiple shot...); and in the second one, the players will fight against each other on a wrestling ring launching the cakes they’ve made to each other in order to get their rivals dirty during three assaults. The cleaner player at the end of the rounds, will win the game.

PHASE 1



PHASE 2


(Can you guess who the commentators are? Tongue)

We are aiming to an online multiplayer experiencie. This is the first time we try to do something online so... In case of failing, it will remain as a local multiplayer game and work the online after the compo Tongue



There will be just 4 characters with a secret ingredient for each. We hope you like this cake! :D

I like the idea of influencing how your projectiles work, and having each character use a 'secret ingredient' is just ingenious. I can't wait to see some gameplay!

This looks pretty sweet, haha  Wink I don't know who the grey-haired commentator is, but my guess on the guy with the black/yellow flowered shirt and a hat is Hunter S. Thompson?

Glad you like it! Smiley

It's Johnny Depp at Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so you kinda guessed it! Wink

More images! This ones are for the title intro. A fighter getting ready before the bittersweet combat that awaits him at the stadium.





And a promo poster :D

Hi!

I noticed I didn't speak about the technical issues of this project. Now I just setted the online platform I think it's time to :D

I'm developing Sugar Loco Wrestling in HTML5 with ImpactJS, it'll played on browser, and it will be 1vs1 multiplayer online (2vs2 as shown on the first mock up is too hard for the deadline). The online communication is done with node.js on a heroku server. I host the game on my own server (www.deconstructeam.com) and use heroku for sending and broadcasting actions to all the players.

The project at this moment has the main controls already done, and 5 out of 11 ingredientes programmed (The way ingredients interact each other on a 3 layer cake provides and awesome emergent gameplay  Addicted, beyond expected).

Now I'm working on the lag compensation for the online... I think I'll go with a mixed strategy of key capturing and absolut positions. I'd like to make the online all about absolut coordinates but heroku does not admit websockets, so the long-polling alternative may stress to much with constant refresh. So, I'll send the keys the player is pressing to the opponent and reproduce his actions on the other view, and every... 0.4 seconds (testing pending) check by absolute coordinates if everything is OK on the two clients.

Here you are another screen. This will be shown before each round  Well, hello there!


(text pending, it will be probably about cake recipees advice)

Hi everybody!

 We've been working hard this November! I've been programming 15 hours a day, including weekends, since the last two weeks. I thought the game would be easy and fun to develop but, two words made it almost impossible: ONLINE ARCHITECTURE.

 I spent 80% of the month developing the online communications and lag compensation, and didn't achieve an excellent result. Due to budget limitations, I had to run node.js and socket.io on a free heroku server that doesn't admit websockets, so I had to figure out a way to come with a playable online experience with a long-polling system, trying to keep the communication under 10-15 messages per second. So, most of the movements of the game are represented on a prediction basis, interpolating positions and, every 5 seconds checking if everything is equal between the 2 clients, and if the positions are too different, correct them with an ugly teleportation.


Eating cake while coding some sugar action.

 Moreover, ImpactJS can't run on server side since it needs a window object to work. I didn't feel like hacking the framework so, some parts of the game are authoritative on player's client and some other on the opponent. This means that if you saw that you hit your opponent, you did. But if you saw that you dodged your rival projectile, and he hit you con his client, you will receive damage. I tried the other way but was more frustrating, hitting your opponent and nothing happening.

 I felt that I could improve more and more the online system, but hey, and online architecture worths nothing without a game to play Tongue

 Here you are some actual gameplay screens:

 We are working on the sound and some additional art right now, see you soon!!

We let some things out, like the intro and the advices of the trainers between rounds but, at least the game seems to work! I worked hard on compesating the lag and the latency of our crappy cheap server and.. I don't know if this will collapse under many players connecting to it but... We'll have to find out. Come on and play! :D

Oh, sweet! Glad to see another ImpactJS game here. And multiplayer?! Awesome. I will report back once I find an opponent.

And it should go without saying that I love the artwork.

Midgard, your opponent probably disconnected, we didn't made the disconnection detection so there is no message when your opponent leaves the game. We'll work that on the post-compo version.

Since there is too few people playing the game, you probably should call a friend to start a game. We are not very famous Tongue

Glad you liked it Indie4fun!
