First of all -
http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php?topic=449 - it's quite a common request.
Secondly - if you want a 2D turn-based strategy game with no graphics - chess is the thing for you. There's just no point in either putting real-time into DOOM:RL or making a multiplayer mode, where you would be able to move a single tile every 5-10 seconds.
Ask yourself this - WHAT would be fun in a multiplayer mode ? It's a roguelike, FFS. They aren't meant to be played together. It's a single-player experience at it's best. You want some MP - go play UT3 or something... Or a board game IRL, where you can have fun with friends while waiting for your turn.
Note that I'm *not* opposing change in general. I just think that there is a REASON for creating this without multiplayer. Imagine Max Payne with a multiplayer mode.
1* It's not possible
2* If it is possible, it's boring and pointless
The focus on singleplayer or multiplayer is something that you have to decide on very early on in the development. If you want both, it probably will be a multiplayer game with an optional campaign mode (vide UT). To balance out both SP and MP AND make the game fun... you have to be God or Blizzard ;).
As far as I am concerned, he was suggesting you to shoot yourself.
There's no need for that.
Your idea was posted on this forum around thirty times, and this is thirty-first. Just don't like the number.
No exactly... As I was trying to point out - he suggested "an multiplayer mode". Something we have not seen before ;P.
