I'm gonna Purchase TT...

I see.
Well, one of the greatest things about the internet is that it's possible to remotely host a server from anywhere in the world. We pay a service to maintain a computer's physical details while we have unlimited access to it's filesystem and resources. From what I can tell, that's a rent of a bare minimum of $20.00 USD per month.

Alternatively, (and this is what I was expecting to happen) one of us (likely to be me, as I'm still at home and Dad would pay for it until I left home in a couple of years.) could just use a machine to host the TT server.

If we hosted the server, it'd be almost identical to as it is now. It would handle 50 people to a room, 6 to a game (until I can change that ), and such. I'd probably rewrite some stuff to make the chatrooms easier to read and communicate in, as well as have smoe default settings changed for better performance and such, but I'd leave it as it is in function. We wouldn't want to have a computer that caps off rather quickly (say, a computer that can't handle 2 games at once without lagging) but we also certainly don't want a computer that takes hundreds of dollars a month just in power alone.

That sounds pre good. In the future if the game grows to 20+ people at a time, I'll be interested in helping out with payments up to about $40 per month. But yeah this is something that we should probably move on considering TT is a ticking time bomb right now lol

wow what

Making a coding change that will support more than 6 players to a game and 50 people to a chat room would not at all be difficult, althuogh I'd have to modify the server to support it as well. But it'd be almost too easy to make such a big change.

Any updates about the negotiations guys?

It seems as if EAGLE has not purchased the game before it has gone fully open source. You can check out all of the source code over on Sune's github.

The game is very playable in single player, but currently there are some people working on getting multiplayer bootleg versions up and running and even a brand new version of the game!

This is great if you could do this! Please let me on in the first 50

Tick..Tock!
