Carnivores Community Edition - Networking

Work on the multiplayer feature of Carnivores Community Edition has offically begun by the community developers. I decided to use the open source zoidcom network engine.

I've begun the first steps of refactoring the existing code flow in order to implement a modern design pattern. The goal is to write a multiplayer server, then have the client aspect of the code connect to the server. Even in single player the game will technically be running in multiplayer mode, which will make the final implementation more natural.

 

I'll be posting updates as they come.

Carnivores for iPhone - Coming Soon

The guys at Tatem Games have been working hard to deliver their newest app for the iPhone OS: Carnivores - Dinosaur Hunter, with a scheduled release sometime in the first quarter of 2010.

It appears to be based off the original Carnivores 2 Engine, with very similar game-play. The biggest difference is that it is, of course, designed to be played on the Apple iPhone, with major changes to the HUD (Heads Up Display) and game interface, as well as the introduction of different "game modes" and online leader boards.

From what I can tell from the video demonstration, it seems the designers and programmers of Dinosaur Hunter have decided to preserve the original look and feel of the game, which will be quite appealing to the existing fan-base of their PC release of  Carnivores 2 back in 1999, as well new players looking for some prehistoric shoot-em-up action.

Below you can read a comprehensive online interview with one of the programmers of the game, Dmitry Nechay, that took place on the forums.
