If an indie on Dreamcast has netplay, it should be slightly ambitious
I'd like to see 56k be an option, with leaderboards\achievements. Voice chat. Maybe even some kind of external network login credentials, perhaps linked with Dreamcast Now, to display all those stats etc on the internet somewhere\somehow. Maybe even coupled with an opensource toolset to allow devs in the future to link a game to this system
XP LEVELING SYSTEM
Might sound like an arrogant suggestion, but if that happened the way I see it; It would be insane to be playing on a CRT monitor, over 56k, with PC players at 3am in the dark with voice chat grinding to unlock achievements or get xp. Just because the Dreamcast is very underpowered doesn't mean an online experience comparable to modern games can't happen. It could generate a decent amount of good press in the gaming media, which would be good for game sales and for this community as a whole. This is one of the most niche and obscure gaming scenes today
Also Dreampipe BB can work like sub-reddits, except it works with old Dreamcast and Saturn browsers (which is the point), I'll make a Slave sub-bb if the devs are interested in adding an open source browser to access it. Or if the devs want me to do it regardless
I don't think i've given a suggestion post on this game so thats my two cents. The point of Dreampipe is actually to setup some kind of network with a modern feel like that but I lack the coding skills to do it myself. I actually gave Kazade the idea for Dreamcast Now as an addon feature for Dreampipe, but he did his own thing which is a lot better and I'm glad he did
Will Slave have keyboard and mouse support?
