just trying to live life my way

@nflmonsterz @_buildspace @buildinpublic love the art!

i'm building odyssey a multiplayer web game where you play as a pirate focused on trading and large scale cannon battles.

check out my demo and story behind building the game👀

@aenechkaa @flutterflow How has your experience with flutterflow been? Did y'all launch GC entirely built in flutterflow (for the frontend)?

[Vikram Peddinti @vpanini__]

this week of building has been a rough one w/ bugs... but we had a playtest!

I was able to simulate a load of 50 bots w/ 5 real people playing! this week I added ability to dock & added the proto shop for trading in game!

w6 is demo week!

it's week 4! I've added in quite a lot of quality of life improvements into my little pirate multiplayer web game before heading into playtest week!

I've got 3 more playtests planned between now and w6 so lmk if you're interested in future playtests!

here's the current state:

@reclab_gg @aenechkaa @_nightsweekends that's awesome, i would love to give it a try once you get that demo out! I'm already a little deeper into my project now, but there's always more ideas :P

Should have another post up in the next week talking about input prediction :)

[Vikram Peddinti @vpanini__]

over the last 3 weeks i've been working on a multiplayer web game where you play as a pirate in a open world sea.

i've been writing about the journey over on my substack - comment and reach out if you want to follow along the journey!

@reclab_gg I would say figuring out a way to speed up iteration time is utmost importance & struggle. When I'm working on indie projects, I want to spend more time designing and iterating rather than building up prediction algorithms, figuring out server hosting to host playtests etc.

oh and _cc: @_buildspace @_nightsweekends

was super fun planning to get a playable webgl demo with the 5 minutes of fun out next week!

[Vikram Peddinti @vpanini__]

hey y'all!

this is my toy from w2 of buildspace, where I'm trying to build a multiplayer web game where you play as a pirate/merchant

this is the multiplayer port of the singleplayer code i wrote this week - but it's still missing the ability to steer a ship... and ocean lol

@bencuan_ @_buildspace @_nightsweekends i haven't given music much thought yet but I'm hoping to take my rudimentary modeling skills(from the one youtube video on blender) and try and throw together some basic models :) My goal is to continue working fast though so I'm pushing that off until I finish up the gameplay!

[Vikram Peddinti @vpanini__]

just got started a few days ago and have already been learning a ton tinkering around in unity - hyped to keep building!

there's still a lot of scope to cut down if I want this done in 6 weeks, but I'll let that happen as I continue to build

[Vikram Peddinti @vpanini__]

@xhuydng @_buildspace @_nightsweekends ah that makes sense! can't wait to see how it evolves over the next 5 weeks!

[Vikram Peddinti @vpanini__]

@doliacat @_buildspace @FarzaTV Cool idea, love to see the web3 space evolve with better platform & dev partnerships. In CATME what's in it for the developer - compared to crazygames, etc.? Those sites provide a revenue share using ads and dev's earn money. Will the platform help devs integrate web3 features?

[Vikram Peddinti @vpanini__]

@rohinrohin @_buildspace @_nightsweekends i love it - so many times we head out on trips together and splitting all the random costs that we accrue over a few days across everyone's cards is so painful. Are you planning on being able to split multiple transactions at once?

[Vikram Peddinti @vpanini__]

@Bhanuu_Prakash @_buildspace @_nightsweekends @FarzaTV i like the core of the story, what sort of games are you drawing inspiration from? What are you planning to build in? I love following all indie dev's just to learn more about their process :)
