Knytt Online World

It should have cows in it. Simply because this idea is abbreviated KOW.

Good

Really? KOW?

fuck this, all I wanted to make was like an online RPG for Knytt...but everyone else wants a bloody database that's exactly like Knytt levels.com

Easy there sailor.

I like this forum becuase people are usually so calm, but wow... Something like thsi project sure can blow things out of proportion.

So you got two diffrent ideas. As I see it, the main problem is this:

Dynamite wants Knytt Online
Elder (to heck with yoru new name ) wants Knytt STORIES online.

Aka, Dynamite wants one big world, like Knytt, while as Elder (there we go again ) wants KS levels to be playable with friends.

Both seem like fun to me. I don't really see why we can't have both.

I mean, would it be so hard to have an overworld from where you can access KS levels? Isn't that what Boxtop was suggesting from the start?

Geez people, calm down and try to settle this like reasonable people instead of bickering children.

Also:

What's the point in swaying on old discussions?

To give a status update:
Nobody is working on KnyttOnline anymore but myself on occasion.
Don't expect anything fancy but the very basics of multiplayer.

And who's formerly name was Elder?

What's the point of NOT doing it? 
I also wanted to post thos images. Cuz' I find them funny.

Salmoneous was previously Elder, and before that, he was Cactus Hat, If I remember correctly. 'Guy changes his name too much.

Also, just moving around together sounds like fun eneough to me. Atleast to start with 

What about an online Knytt Experiment but you can see other people playing. Instead of you being all alone seeing other people's levels, you can see other Knytt creatures which are other people playing from around the world.

My brain keeps telling me that I've got too much stuff going on and I'm too busy...
but my heart is telling me to just start this project all over again.

... Rii-ight.

Oh well.

Uhm, I think that would be nice yes. However, I always found KE quite boring.

I think we should go back to the idea boxtop had from the start, with levels playable being accessed from one overworld.

I personally would prefer a Knytt Online to, as Didriking puts it, Knytt Stories Online.

I don't really see why we can't have both.

Having both means twice as much work (except where the projects cross over).

P.S. I'm pretty sure Salmoneous was Elder before he was Cactus Hat. I like Elder best too.

Salmoneous reminds me of Salmon..it also reminds me of a guy called salamon who's an idiot.

That is what I wanted all along. But we have to think about this first: is someone going to host the game server on their home internet connection or on a dedicated server? Dedicated servers are expensive, but I can't see how running the server on a home internet connection would be very reliable. (Unless I'm missing something?)

Indeed, a server would be needed. Unless we set up a bittorrent-style system, where whenever you play you host for a few other people, share the load, no dedicated server. But that would be horrifically complicated to set up.

bittorrent-style system

A what?

He means peer-to-peer.

Why is there a disscusion of my name?

um.. anyway.
My idea is fully based on boxtops.
I have nothing agenst Dynamites idea, I just think it needs a little more thought.
And if you want to do it, Dynamite, Do it!
