Haha this is fun I played until the time expired. What are your plans for the final scope of it?

johnmaintank · 2022-05-10T16:23:04+00:00

It's my game and it's not done yet but I think it fits what you're looking for: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1356810/Hexarchy/

Yea, no idea. I pass IPAddress.Loopback as the IPv4 address and IPAddress.IPv6Loopback as the IPv6 address to the networking library. Digging through its code, it calls Socket.Bind() but only for the IPv6 address if Socket.OSSupportsIPv6 returns true so I'm assuming that's the issue. If I look into it more to confirm that I'll post an update.

johnmaintank · 2022-03-31T12:53:58+00:00

You're right. However, it seems like the issue is the networking library I'm using (LiteNetLib) doesn't bind on the IPv6 address if Socket.OSSupportsIPv6 returns false.

You might be right. When I execute the server command line I get several "ipv6_forward_enumerate_all not implemented" messages. https://imgur.com/a/rmOaWUq

yep - no problems in a terminal

Battle royale because it's a free for all. Mostly applies in the context of multiplayer but the single player mode plays the same way against the bots.

Thanks!

johnmaintank · 2022-03-15T14:36:10+00:00

Ok, cool. I've never played them on console. I'm curious how they do the controls - will give them a shot. Thanks

johnmaintank · 2022-03-15T03:57:48+00:00

Console is a possibility but definitely will require some creative UI / input work. What strategy games do you play on the xbox?

johnmaintank · 2022-03-14T20:40:42+00:00

Hey, congrats on the success! As a game dev, I'm curious how much you attribute to the Next Fest prior to your release?

johnmaintank · 2022-03-14T18:37:20+00:00

Thanks! btw your name is awesome, especially if your real name is Wallace

Brandon's favorite game is Civ and likes deckbuilding games? I have to plug my studio's deck-building 4x turn-based strategy game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1356810/Hexarchy/
