We have programmers, it's just none of us are excited about programming online multiplayer functionality.

Any news on this lately?

If you're still stuck because of the online multiplayer, you seriously need to evaluate your project's scope. If you have a team member who's highly skilled at programming Internet-based player-to-player functionality (and plenty of motivation and free time), that's terrific. However, if you don't have a team member with proven experience making online multiplayer games in Game Maker, you need to move forward with something less ambitious.

Online multiplayer is notoriously difficult to get right. I don't know of any games on MFGG that have done anything like that before - and if they did, they're nowhere near as complex (and fast-paced) as a fighting game. Even AAA games have a hard time getting online multiplayer right (whether because of programming flaws or network issues). Game Maker probably isn't the optimal tool for online functionality, either.

Again, I'd love to see online multiplayer happen, but if you don't have anyone who can program it, you would be wise to make your project plan less ambitious. Focus on making a fun game that provides a great player-vs.-AI experience and supports local multiplayer. Then, once the core game is complete, you can see if you can add online multiplayer.

I've seen it happen over and over again, on MFGG and elsewhere - promising community projects that die because of unrealistic ambitions. This game has a lot of great ideas and great art, and I don't want this project to be the next entry on the list of community project miscarriages.

Honestly when it comes to fangame projects I think having online multiplayer as an entirely separate project from a singleplayer experience is the way to go. (though I guess working on online after the singleplayer is complete isn't bad either)

it's been made a point in the group to focus on local PVP, but no progress has really been made yet. if anyone would like to help out on this front, you're more than welcome to

unfortunately due to lack of activity and interest i've decided to close the project, or at least this iteration. if anyone wants to pick up the slack and take the helm they can drop me a PM, otherwise i'm just gonna close the server.
