The Repopulation - Documentation Available

by J.C. Smith · 08/13/2009 (2:39 pm) · 4 comments

We performed two different server tests last week using a test zone and a trimmed down client. The result of those tests allowed us to make significant server side improvements and boosted our server side performance by a good amount. We're rapidly approaching the point where we will be opening up the alpha client to more people, which could happen next week. As a result we've been putting in long hours this week to get everything to a point we are content with and doing all the miscellaneous boring tasks that we have put off until now.

One of those boring tasks was creating documentation. The Repopulation has a number of features that are a bit different than other RPGs and those required some explanation. The result is a reasonably sized document which can be viewed online at the following page:

www.therepopulation.com/gamewiki/doku.php?id=overview:alpha_documentation

It provides a basic overview of the game, and documents areas that needed further explanation.

Great stuff guys, finally got time to read it.

Server Test it was really cool, It was great to see the network side of Torque3D in action.

One comment on server test action.

When fighting the demented in third person you really can't see the action watching Xerves kill the beast was cool but my experience was not as good when I killed the beast.

Anyhoo! I enjoyed it, hope to see more soon!
