CrossCode (2015)

Date: May 15, 2015 Platform: Mac / PC / Xbox One / PlayStation 4 / Linux / Nintendo Switch / PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series X|S / Amazon Luna Developer: Radical Fish Games Publisher: Deck13 Interactive GmbH / Dangen Entertainment Mayflower / WhisperGames / Inin Games Genre: Role-Playing / Dual-Joystick Shooter / Action-Adventure Theme: Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk / Anime Type: Inspiration

Summary:

In a distant future a whole planet has been turned into a giant playground for an augmented reality MMORPG called CrossWorld, where people can log into physical androids called "avatars" that are remote controlled by players on Earth. The main character "Lea" is one such player, who has seemingly lost her memory after playing and, following a brief explanation by some the MMOG's staff, is sent back into CrossWorld where her best chance of regaining her memory is by playing the game.

This is more of a technical question, but what version of C++ is most used in AAA nowadays? Is it still very much C++11/14 or has it transitioned to C++17/20?

It's a pretty broad mix. Most devs are still using C++11/14 to my knowledge, with several ongoing legacy titles continuing to use C++03 to support them.

One of the biggest pillars of development is that the ability for devs to work (stability) is paramount. If we were to make a change like an engine or software upgrade (e.g. Unreal 4 to Unreal 5), a major tool switch (e.g. Max to Blender), or a C++ version (e.g. C++11 to C++17), we will render a large number of developers temporarily unable to work. This is because most upgrades or switches no longer support the things the previous software or version supported perfectly, and those small breakages require time to identify and time to fix - during which those devs who depend on that software to work can't.

This kind of time cost eats a portion of the budget - we won't get extra dev time added because we're upgrading our tools and need time to iron the resulting issues out. This is why the decision has to be made - are the benefits from making the switch worth the cost of fielding all of the issues that could be caused by it? This varies on a project-by-project basis. If the project is early in development or only has a small number of affected developers, the cost is much lower than if there are hundreds of devs affected or thousands of finished assets that could be affected.

Live games, especially old established live games, only make these kind of changes when absolutely necessary because they have tons of existing resources and assets already live and can't sacrifice the dev time to go back and bring them all up to spec. Many well-established MMOGs are still using C++03 for this reason - they just have too much built on it and can't afford the change. SWTOR is still using the licensed Hero engine and are still using the build from 2012.

Why do MMOs continue to be made? From everything I've seen (they require a massive constant influx of players to remain profitable, the graphics quickly become outdated, most MMOs, barring a few exceptions, shut down relatively quickly after launch) they don't seem like a smart idea. I feel like only people who can afford to make them nowadays are huge companies who can sink millions into a game that remains unprofitable for years. Is it just because of the romanticism of it all?

The reason that MMOGs continue to be made is because MMOGs are often actually quite profitable once they establish themselves. There is no real "romanticism" in building MMOGs - they are, by far, too expensive to build for the sake of being a pet project. MMOGs are a good vehicle for maintaining engagement. The social aspect of playing with many of the same friends over weeks and months provides a powerful incentive for players to continue to engage with the game. As I've said before, engagement is the most valuable metric that any game can have because it directly correlates to game revenue more than any other metric we have.

Let's examine your premises and see which ones don't hold up.

They require a massive constant influx of players to remain profitable

While this is true, there are adjustments that can be made as time passes. Profitability is a factor of both cost and revenue. As the player base naturally dwindles over time, so does the size of the team and the scope of planned future content. Thus, the cost of maintaining the game continues to scale downward with the decline of the player base, maintaining profitability. Eventually any MMOG will be placed in “maintenance mode” where no new content will be developed, but even then it can remain profitable for years as long as enough players are still willing to pay for the ongoing maintenance costs (as is the case with Ultima Online, which is approaching its 25th anniversary this year).

The graphics quickly become outdated

Cutting-edge graphics are only a selling point at launch. Many MMOGs today (WOW, LOTRO, FF14, SWTOR) are still going strong many years later despite not being the prettiest belles at the ball. Once the game gets its hooks into the player, they want to keep playing even if it isn't the prettiest game.

Most MMOs, barring a few exceptions, shut down relatively quickly after launch

The first year is where the majority of MMOGs die, primarily because they cannot grab onto a critical mass of players. The first year is also where the majority of games in general die for the exact same reason. However, if the game manages to survive its first year, the chances of a long lifespan are actually pretty good. For example, Defiance was a MMOG that was licensed and based on a Sci Fi channel cable television show that lasted for two seasons. The game launched in 2013 and didn't shut down until 2021, six years after the show had gone off the air. There are hundreds of smaller F2P MMOGs still running today because they managed to secure that critical mass of players.

I think most people don't realize that MMOGs are still a thriving genre, but have also evolved with the times. Most of them don't try the AAA big budget approach because such vehicles are somewhat obsolete. The only big AAA MMOG in the past several years I can think of was Amazon's New World Online, which had (and continues to have) its own share of problems. AAA MMOGs have evolved into more streamlined versions (a la Destiny, the Division, etc.), losing expensive systems like item trading, player housing, and so on, while retaining the social systems and retention/engagement elements. Smaller MMOGs have reduced scope and visual fidelity, instead focusing on content creation tools to save on development and maintenance costs. These gradual changes over time have changed the way MMOGs are built and maintained today. Making new MMOGs is by no means untenable.

When did gaming become so complicated? - Week 10

Everyone knows a serious gamer. If you don’t, chances are you are one yourself. Gaming used to be thought of as just owning a ‘Game Boy’, but has now extended into so many types and forms that it’s possible to call yourself a gamer while being completely unknowledgeable about particular groups of games. These groups form gaming communities, people who connect via specific types/genres/forms of games such as Animal Crossing on the Nintendo Switch or Call of Duty on PlayStation.

Getting involved with games doesn’t just extend to playing them either. The largest personal YouTube account, PewDiePie, has over 104 million subscribers who mostly watch videos of him playing video games (See: https://www.youtube.com/user/PewDiePie/videos). Twitch is a whole platform based off live streaming gamers and this year is estimated to have a net worth of $5 billion after being launched in 2011 (The Wealth Record, 2019). As shown below, live stream gaming is a significant part of the internet (Quartz 2020).

Equally, social gaming is fosters a large community in the gaming world. Initially set up as almost a placeholder for casinos, games such as Farmville on Facebook, Angry Birds and Candy Crush have since been based off this framework, notorious for getting players to pay money for benefits to the point that within two years the global social gaming market is expected to be worth about $25 billion (Social Gaming: It’s Bigger Than You Think, 2017).

The fact that gaming is now so serious, with money involved and all, means that governments must also involve themselves in the matter and can have lasting impacts on the physical world. An example of this is EVE. EVE Online is a space-themed massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) that has over half a million subscribers and encourages players to communicate with those in charge of the game and help develop it, bringing on a range of disputes and controversies in its history (Zwart & Humphreys 2014, pp. 77-78).

EVE was intentionally designed to be “lawless” making it problematic for people who go too far (Zwart & Humphreys 2014, p. 82). Cases such as the ‘Eve Investment Bank’ which created a scam banking structure that now owes approximately AU $126,000, shows how each games’ environmental and user “norms” are individual and it can be hard for governments and game managers to navigate the rules and laws to reach a solution (Suzor & Woodford 2013, p. 6).

The only times I ever played any type of video game was with my Nintendo DS. This largely involved me sitting in the back seat of my parents car playing Nintendogs, screaming my dog’s name in order for it to learn it. I’m sure it wouldn’t surprise you to hear that this side of gaming has come as a shock to me and I’m still struggling to wrap my head around it all. I apologise if the result of that is a sub-par Tumblr post. What I can say is that next time you consider gaming to be just an innocent, uncomplicated hobby, think again because the gaming world is one of many complexities.

just as a thought exercise: how could a single dev go about making an mmo on their own? I know this is almost impossible and a very bad idea but since its always brushed off I was always curious how someone with a lot of experience and know-how would organize the whole process to tackle something like this without one of the steps just being "hire a team"?

A scenario very similar to what you asked about actually happened. [Project Gorgon] is an indie MMOG developed by a husband-wife team, where both developers were extremely experienced MMO developers. Both have a lot of experience on games such as Asheron's Call 1 and 2, Star Trek Online, Everquest 2, etc. and decided to build their own small scope MMOG. Obviously, a lot of specific stars needed to align for this to even have a prayer of success.

First off, the dev absolutely must be a very skilled programmer who understands client server architecture and scaling. Without this core component, it doesn't matter what you can do - there is no off-the-shelf game engine (yet) that can scale to the number of users needed for a MMOG. This is one of the biggest problems with running MMOGs in general - a server that can handle ten players at once may not be able to handle a hundred. A server that handles a hundred players concurrently may not be able to handle a thousand. Scaling code to user demand can be incredibly difficult and expensive, which is why good server programmers are highly sought after. The game client would be built in an off-the-shelf game engine like Unity or Unreal to handle the visuals and front-facing elements.

Beyond this, the dev must also have sufficient design chops to create core gameplay that is both fun for players and sustainable to develop for. This essentially limits the types of content that can be developed - there are only so many hours in the day, so the ratio of developer effort to gameplay hours must be very high. This tends to exclude things like intricate story content and specific scripted encounters that will get consumed super quickly, and instead leans on sandbox gameplay and combinations of different pieces of content and systems in order to create the fun for the player. This way, any new content addition can potentially be used in combination with old content multiplicatively, creating a lot more possibilities for interaction. Leveraging and reusing systems and content for extended engagement is imperative or players will run out of things to do and drop the game.

There is basically zero bandwidth for visual/audio asset creation on top of creating the game-specific content and writing all of the game code, so all game assets will either come from the asset store or is outsourced from contractors. As such, the look of the game is almost certainly going to be patchwork at best with very little visual theming unless they spend a lot. UI is probably the best place to invest for custom work since it probably needs the strongest visual identity.

That’s basically what you need to start a small MMOG - expertise in getting the technology requirements working, expertise in game systems and a content creation pipeline that is extensible and efficient in terms of developer time spent compared to user engagement, and enough money to buy and commission the assets you need. If you can assemble these core requirements (and manage to find an audience), you could build a sustainable indie MMOG.

Dragon Marked For Death is a side-scrolling Second action RPG that can played solo or with up to 4 gamers in local or on the web multiplayer. Its unhappy tho, as I genuinely appreciated my time with MU Legend. The battle is intense and truly enjoyable. It made me search with other eyes to Global Cooldown online games, like WoW and FFXIV. Motion MMORPGs can be genuinely excellent if completed properly.

You require Mu Legend Redzen for your endgame, due to the fact things for high ranges cost a lot and there is no point in throwing away your Mu Legend Redzen on low amount things only to outgrow them. You will do just good picking up items from mobs, getting them from quests or Rifts. When fighting monsters, try to hold them in a team. This way, the area attacks (which represent the greater part of capabilities offered in the sport) will damage a number of enemies at after, generating the fights significantly shorter.

Online games in facilitating digital communities

Before I researched this topic, I knew very little about gaming. I always thought it was anti-social time-wasting behaviour of those who engaged in online games. However, research suggests that 55 percent of gamers play with others and that gaming is now recognised as a social activity (Crawford & Rutter 2007, p. 4). I can see that there are many benefits to social gaming including its capacity to bring people together.

Social computing is the social and interactive behaviour between computer users, includes social networking sites (e.g., Facebook) and multiplayer online games (e.g., fortnight). Although fairly new, fortnight is one of the most popular multi-player games at present and allows users to come together to fight off evil and fight off each other. Ertan & Medeni (as seen in EC JRC 2009) defines social computing as a “set of open, web-based and user-friendly applications that enable users to network, share data, collaborate and co-produce content”.

Some online games use the collaborative natures of gaming to structure the culture, norms and rules around how games are facilitated among users. EVE Online, a space-themed hugely multiplayer web-based amusement (MMOG), affords players a channel of correspondence with game managers and developers by effectively empowering player participation in game management (Zwart & Humphreys 2014, p. 77).

Online gaming facilitates digital communities because it brings people together through the value of shared experience. To form friendship and share interests with other users is what online gaming affords. Social media has enabled these connections to take place and grow through the now larger audience reach it provides. Social gaming is developing an important component in today’s social media sites with social networking sites offering a place for online games to progress in the virtual medium. (Aburahmah et al. 2016, p. 72). Now with the facilitation of social media sites, online gaming is continuing to grow as an opportunity to engage with others through communication and discussions.

According to Crawford & Rutter (2007, p. 1), 

“though the origins of digital gaming can be traced back to the 1950s, it was not until the late 1970s and 1980s that digital gaming began to develop as a leisure activity”. 

But with the benefits of online gamily producing digital communities, there are always going to be risks. Some say that people become addicted to the games and it changes the behaviour in adolescents, making them angry and at times lashing out in violence. Research Internet gamers reported 40% of massively multiplayer online role-playing games users categorized themselves as “addicted to the game’ with one in six reporting frequent problems in life due to “Facebook” use (Geisel et al. 2015, p. 2).

Hi there. How important is number of players to an MMO from a player-facing perspective? What's a good minimum number?

Today we'll act as system designers and break down your question into a set of smaller questions that are easier to answer. First, let me establish this as the premise - a MMOG service is like an all-you-can-eat buffet that's open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (minus server maintenance times). The expectation from players is that they will be able to log on to the game at any time of day, and play without having to wait for too long.

We can break down the sort of gameplay engagement from players into two buckets for this - solo gameplay and gameplay that requires other players. For solo gameplay, we're good - the game service automates all of the NPC spawning and loot table rolling for us, so all of the solo content should be fine on its own. For content dependent on other players, we need to consider the ways in which players can interact with each other within the scope of the MMOG's gameplay systems. These activities can include things like:

Player to Player Trade (direct trade, auction house, etc.)

PVP Group content (e.g. Battlegrounds)

PVE Group content (e.g. Dungeons and Raids)

Zone/Faction PVP participation

PVE World Events

We can break further break these down into two smaller buckets - real time community needs and asynchronous community needs. 

If a player logs in during their preferred play time and can't find other players to run a dungeon with or finds the PVP zone to be empty in real time, they aren't going to have fun. This is the "real time community needs" bucket - a player needs other players right now to play with. To keep these systems from feeling frustrating, we need enough players engaging with these gameplay systems such that the wait time is not too high (i.e. usually < 5 minutes or so). We can usually mitigate the frustration by allowing players to engage with other game content while waiting for their queue to pop, populating empty slots with bots for queues that take too long, and so on. 

Similarly, if a player logs in and the auction house is empty or the faction-wide quest hasn't advanced enough since last week, the player isn't having fun. This is the "asynchronous community needs" bucket - a player needs other players to have engaged with the game within the past N hours/days/etc. and not immediately. For these systems, we have a much longer time frame where we just need to make sure enough players over a period of hours/days/weeks/etc. will engage with the system to keep players from feeling frustrated. This can also be supplemented by generating content for players (e.g. having a bot auto-sell items on the auction house if there aren’t enough of those items to buy).

Usually, this means we want around at minimum of around 10 x (number of players per group) players seeking real time group content at any given time in order to do the matchmaking within a reasonable time frame. This also doesn’t include further subdivisions among the player base (e.g. waiting for a tank to queue, or how level 20 players and level 100 players probably aren’t going to be seeking the same group content). For asynchronous content needs, you need enough players to engage over that time frame (usually a few hundred at minimum) to keep things stocked and working. Exact numbers will, of course, vary with factors like player turnover rate, game length, backfilling players who leave games, mitigation features like bots, etc.

PS. If this talk about gameplay time frames reminds you of [primary/secondary/tertiary gameplay loops], you earn a cookie for thinking like a game designer.
