I am currently developing a new add-on for the Multiplayer game.
The main innovations in the first release:
- A single chat for all players: i.e., when launching Heroes, a player enters a single Heroes chat (well, probably I'll make 2 rooms, English and Russian), and from there, they click a button and launch Heroes.
- Simultaneous turns (!!!) - now the red and blue players will be able to take their turns SIMULTANEOUSLY, instead of waiting for each other. This feature will be enabled for the first week of development, for example, until version 1.16.
- From the test environment: game balancing, interface features, hotkeys, and some other things.
- A convenient installer for SoD - by clicking one button, you simply install the Add-on.
- Some conveniences: a built-in autosave and others.
And there are a huge number of ideas for future versions: replays, cheat protection, unified settings, reducing game time.
One of the main directions of the add-on's development is to reduce the game time. I think that if everything planned is implemented, the time for a professional game with 4-9 players will be reduced from 4-9 hours to 2-4 hours without changing the gameplay!!!
