A Truly Cooperative Level?

[BlazeHedgehog]

Sure, SRB2 has a co-op mode.

But has anybody ever thought about making a TRUELY cooperative singleplayer stage? SRB2 gives us the ability to make player 1, player 2, and player 3 all start in completely seperate areas of a stage.

So what if a stage was set up like that? Almost like three seperate stages -- Player 1 cannot access Player 2's route, for instance, and Player 2 can't get to Player 1. But they must work together pressing certain switches for each other to advance through the stage, and eventually, complete it.

With the advent of Lindef executors, such an idea could really be brought into fruition.

Food for thought indeed.

Like Sonic Heroes?

Something like Four Swords! Not only would it be intensely co-op, but you'd really be able to put linedef executors to work there. Fun!

A Truely Cooperative Level?

Sorry, I had to fix that. It was bugging me.

As for the idea, I think it's a great one. It's about time we had something like Four Swords (or Mario Party 4's "Dungeon Duos") in a 3D Sonic game. :P

Don't bug people about simple spelling errors, please.

It happens.

 

[sonknuck23]

I think it should be done. Sounds like a good idea...I could try and do it, but I'm not very skilled at wads. T_T;

 

[Shuffle]

I would try it, but then I would just give up on it like I do with all my other projects (console wad, srb2 island, Supah Sonic Racing... you get the idea).

Of course it happens. Blaze is the only one I bug about it though, and it's a humurous bugging. It happens so much that I know it's a surefire way to knock his nerves around. :E

Although doing it anywhere other than IRC is probably a bad idea.

 

[Candescence]

truly co-op level? briliant idea.

 

[Chao_Fan_No.1]

That would be cool.

 

[sonknuck23]

Yeah, I might look into it...

 

[Blue Blur]

sounds good, but what if you can't get enough people to do the whole level?

 

[Knuckles MetalMind]

There should be something to detect if there isn´t a player connect... Then, all his switches should be activated :P

 

[Chao_Fan_No.1]

Nice Idea.

 

[ST218]

Seems like a good idea, kinda like that PS2 game Adventures of Cookie and Cream.

 

[BlazeHedgehog]

Well, if you don't have enough players, you're screwed. Perhaps that's something for 1.09/1.1? A little note in the header for "minimum amount of players"? Or can you do that client-side when you set up a game?

To limit this happening you could only do a two or so player level.

 

[Mystic]

A 2-player coop stage would be quite interesting, to say the least, with a ton of one sided passages and stuff.

However, I'm busy enough as it is =P

 

[Blue Blur]

What kind of theme would it have? (Like Greenflower zone or some factory?)

 

[Knuckles MetalMind]

A factory could be cool, because you could see the other one right behind the windows :P It could look really cool n_n
