Competitive Events

Just an idea.  I'd like to see the races being opened up to maybe like 8 people instead of 2.

Would be fun to have some kind of contests that the characters could create in game and compete directly with each other.  Just little mini games.
From anything as minor as paper-rock-scissors to something like being able to maybe like breed a horse or something and race it.  (having a casino is always for the lulz too haha)

It's fun for me to challenge my friends to silly things you know.

  • Yes, competitive events (like races) will support larger groups of people soon (we generally call them "sports"). Many of the sports we have planned require a change in the way the client-server communication happens with respect to the game's physics and it is not a simple change. We were hoping to make it before the end of beta, but that seems unlikely now so there is a class of sports that won't make it till after beta (imagine Pong, but rather than 2 players controlling a paddle each it'd be 5 players per side acting as bumpers … a pinball-like deal where you are inside the game).

    However, there are some larger group competitive events coming before beta ends (just ones that don't rely as heavily on physics). Hoping to try one next test (though it might take a little longer).

    Stoot, I just love the hints and clues as to where things are going and how.  If I hadn't just switched careers, I would be scheming how to become a game designer.
