Hey Rodol I have a few questions about the RR game since I know more and more questions are going to pop up in my head I have decided that this would be faster and more understandable for this being the official Forums.
My first diary question is a dumb one that make since anyone can answer. Why do you deam your project as “the Rival Rebels FULL game” and what would happen to the mod if/when there is more stuff to be added and fans start raging for new content to come.

January 25, 2018 at 12:15 pm #18710AFAIK rodol said update Z will be the last one, probably giving somebody else the authority over the project or leaving it. (i should have done a PR and fixed the death messages myself, why didn’t i think of this earlier) will rodol squeeze any more proper content into the final updates? who knows.
Sometimes, I dream about cheese.January 25, 2018 at 12:43 pm #18713@HB Yeah, you can just fork the project, make the fixes and make a pull request.
@Titan It’s the FULL game because there are going to be many things in it that I was not able to put in mc due to java/mc limitations. Everything I’ve ever wanted to have, will be in the FULL Rival Rebels Dark Matter Drive game!
⋰⋮RODOL⋮⋱January 25, 2018 at 12:46 pm #18714what kinds of PRs do you accept, could I add my own weapon or something? (if it meets the standards, of course)
Sometimes, I dream about cheese.January 25, 2018 at 12:55 pm #18715Yes, all bugfixes are welcome, and as for new weapons, no bullets, no pistols! :D (I reserve the right to reject buggy/laggy additions, or unoriginal content, like stuff that belongs to other fandoms)
⋰⋮RODOL⋮⋱January 25, 2018 at 12:57 pm #18716oof, quadruple rejection
EDIT: eyy, i found the only NTM weapon that fulfills the criteria is the ZOMG! i could remake it as an obj model and improve functionality!
EDIT 2: no wait, the ZOMG is laggy. well then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (though the sparkplug could technically count)
EDIT 3: i could change the sparkplug to fire black holes like it was initially intended to do, as well as remove the color code on the back, THEN it would be allowed! aha!
Sometimes, I dream about cheese.January 25, 2018 at 1:12 pm #18718yea bullets are ovverated

January 26, 2018 at 9:06 am #18721Okay next question: If Rival Rebels FULL game is an MMO then how will servers be based(regional or international) And what happens to your mc server if you decide to end support for the mod. Also who will sponsor the game server if needed.
All of your bas are belong to us.
January 26, 2018 at 10:53 am #18723The first public servers will be in the US. Later, depending on the demand and budget a 3rd and 4th will be opened in EU and South Asia. Server costs should be covered by the sales of the game or a sustainable monetization model. (that is the tricksy part)
During the pre alpha period my home server will remain as a testing server but only for the RR DMD instead of the mod.@HB Whats the sparkplug? I can only remember the ZOMG haha.
⋰⋮RODOL⋮⋱January 26, 2018 at 11:37 am #18724It shoots an electrical discharge that explodes with the magnitude of a small nuke, think of an RPG x 100
Sometimes, I dream about cheese.January 26, 2018 at 12:45 pm #18725About the monetization l , I am not an expert nor is this a part of job here at RR , though I’d like to suggest a few things
1.Start a Kickstarter campaign (when the game is developed enough).This way DmD will have more money and you may be able to hire someone and copyright the RR as a franchise
2.Maybe a monthly payment plan ? Again I’m no expert, but maybe a monthly plan could be good (a small discount for RR staff hopefully 😀?)
3.No paid items that give players an advantage over the others.Cosmetics could be fine but imo everyone should pay a base amount to maintain the game (a discount for RR staff please xD).On a completely serious note please don’t make it so that players with more money can ruin the experience.
January 26, 2018 at 1:58 pm #18727I cannot support your second idea Michal. Not everyone can afford to pay monthly, myself included. It may lean players away from the game as well.
Discord:FrostiFur Whyler#2044 Twitter/Telegram:@FrostiFurJanuary 27, 2018 at 3:16 pm #18731- Yeah I like the ideas and this brings me to my next question. Rodol you say that you are using Unity and as if now your project look more like a flash-game as all good Unity developers. But have you ever decided to write using Java Script the game or use another engine like to improve Graphics Frostbite/Renderware on PCP or even Roblox. If you do have your game on a platform like Steam or GOG do you plan to make a physical release for Television consoles.

January 27, 2018 at 4:47 pm #18732@Michal, I thought about the kickstarting but I really don’t want to get tied up to promises, dead lines and to the will of the supporters. I prefer to sell a product that will meet and exceed expectations. Yeah as Frost said subscriptions aren’t popular at all, they were chosen least on the poll I made on YT. I’m more inclined to a base game price, expansion areas (new places) and additional content.
@Titan, Sorry, but you are mixing up stuff, I’m coding in C# (C sharp) language. It used to be MS proprietary, part of the .net frame work, but now its open source. Unity compiles all the C# code to C++ and builds different versions for every different platform, like consoles, mobile, pc, mac, linux…
Everything I use or ever used is on the attributions page on the right column or at the bottom in mobile view.
⋰⋮RODOL⋮⋱January 27, 2018 at 6:11 pm #18733btw rodol can you add a giant laser claymoure in the DMD that swings like 5 times per second? XD just asking….

January 27, 2018 at 6:13 pm #18734wait will there be multiple servers to choose from
also will there be a way for admins to mute ppl if they are spamming or bulling or doing anything against the rules
Because reasons
January 28, 2018 at 5:31 pm #18747One regional server being me to the next question. Rodol not to insult or make a but do you expect Rival Rebels to become big. By “big” I mean as popular as some other indie games out like A Hat In Time or Undertale and do you expect Rival Rebels to have a stable community. What will fan service be like?

January 28, 2018 at 7:00 pm #18748@ theinfluence, because the DMD game will be a commercial product, I’m not planning to take ideas or suggestions as I do with the mod. The feedback I’ll need from testers has to be limited to glitches, performance or specific functionality shortcomings. Only until the game is released I cannot hear suggestions or people could argue that the ideas are not mine and ask for attribution.
@Simon, the server load will be distributed depending on the quantity of players and by areas.
@Titan, I can’t predict the future, but I’m making a game that I would really like to play, and that has worked very well before. :)

January 30, 2018 at 10:20 am #18754This one is kinda a persona question, but, could you describe your computer/Computers and how you expect the system requirements to be. Example: can OS X, Linux, or Unix users run the game.
All of your bas are belong to us.
January 30, 2018 at 2:15 pm #18757Me too (I love ubuntu) though I’m not sure about Unix since its more of a standard nowadays (correct me if I’m wrong) whilst there are some spinoffs like BSD I doubt they are worth porting to.Also which linux distros will receive the game (android is technically Linux )?
January 31, 2018 at 9:31 am #18758I never could install BSD so I can’t say anything about that. But since Unix is kinda an older OS i wont expect much and the only time I see Unix being used is either on a Virtual machine or testing out some soundcards. And can Linux even run execuables or Unity games?</p>
All of your bas are belong to us.
January 31, 2018 at 11:55 am #18760Depends whether or not the unity game is made to be playable on linux. Exectuables don’t work unless you use an emulator, but even then it doesn’t always work (since wine is really crappy when it comes to internal user perms). Also I don’t think Michal meant the original unix OS but rather the unixoid OS family.
Sometimes, I dream about cheese.February 6, 2018 at 4:32 pm #18786Dear Rodol Phito,
Hey how has it been. I hear that is nice and chili all over the United States. But anyway I have been wondering about the Rival Rebels full game, and yes I do have yet another question about it. Why is the post in a style of a friendly letter? Well I have no clue. My question for today revolve around the most dangerous weapon to the Human race. No not the XX121 xenomorph nor the common cold, but, I mean nukes. Rival Rebels mod got it start through the Mc community as and I quote, “The Nuke Mod”. Don’t that name get to you an any way.
My letter (Post, memo, greetings card whatever you want to call it) is to seek an answer. In the Rival Rebels full game you simply stated and once more quote ” It’s the FULL game because there are going to be many things in it that I was not able to put in mc due to java/mc limitation”. But as a MMO Rival Rebels in mc make perfect since to just nuke away the other team or your own house. I say that all nukes are free with hard work. Please tell me before I get to formal or my words start be mixed up again how in the living oblivion do you plan to have freakin nukes in an MMO without A:Player nuke all noobs, B:Being in the main story(don’t care) C:Please no nukes inside D:Radiation don’t go away very soon please help the children of Chernobyl or E:I am on the planet finally and where is civilization.
What I am trying to say (let me be very quick nobody likes to read) do you really plan to have nukes in the Rival Rebels Full Game and if so what is your plan for the nukes? Anyway that is all I have to say or type so hear from you soon.
, , , ,Sincerely,
