Implementation plan for twins system

jasonrohrer · 2018-07-04 20:38:35

Here's what I'm thinking:

Twins, triplets, and quadruplets are a way for groups of 2-4 friends to play together.
There will be a separate screen off the login screen where you set this up.
You enter or generate a short "twin code" and share that code with your friends.
You specify the size of your group (2, 3, or 4) and your friends do the same.
If the reflector is currently load-balancing, it sends all of you to the least-full server, and you're all sent to the same server if you're using the same code.
Upon login, your client tells the server the code and how many people you're waiting for.
You are WAITING TO BE BORN until your other party members also log in.
Once everyone is logged in, a lucky mother will be chosen, and you will all get born together. If no mother is available, you will be twin/triplet/quad Eves spawned together in the wilderness.
You will all have the same character and gender (identical).
If one of your party members dies of murder, the rest get wounded with a broken heart and die soon after.
Every other aspect of the game works as it normally does.

I don't see any real problems with this.

A cool thing to add might be reserving your buddies womb? If they have the keys to your uterus that is...

Sounds good to me

As long as it doesn't interfere with the lineage ban, this might be neat

No, I don't want you being raised by your friend.

The central premise of the game is that you are born to a stranger and depend on their help to survive.

Being able to force yourself to be born to your friend destroys this premise.

Being born as a twin WITH your friend, where you both depend on the same stranger as a mother, does not break this premise.

Do the twin eves create different lineages with different names, as in they don't appear as sisters on the family tree?

Multiple Eves sounds like it could be interesting.

Id abandon twins in a heartbeat. Nobody wants to play with people who know each other.

Jason, there is the possibility of enjoying Twins with random players, without having to put the mail of a friend, in my case I play alone, without friends, but I would like to be able to respawn with a twin brother in some occasions ... sometimes I was just born and at 3 seconds a brother is born ... I wonder if this can be translated into twins

Yeah same, none of my friend stick to the game.

If only the twins are implemented for the friends, it will be detected very quickly to 2 friends who are playing together and coordinate together with systems like Discord or TeamSpeak .. you know that these players will give civilization an advantage ... you also know that when a player dies the other one will be disconnected ..., if this system also implements it in a random way, this will not happen...

We are misunderstood trustyway hahaha,

I would love to play sometimes chosen twin lol, even without a friend. So I would love to have the choice to go in the main menu and choose twins, and the game then would couple to another one who wanted the same! (Not a friend, just a random other player who wants the same.)

I predict forum threads containing “play with me! My code is ——...”

Well, I'm going to keep it to "friends" for now.

You can always pop in discord and paste in your twin code. Some random person will grab it and used it, and there you go, you'll be born as a twin with a stranger.

That would be kind of fun!
