Multiwinia steam group.

Postby Phevnil » Fri Oct 10, 2008 1:16 pm

Every one seems to be a bit upset over the lack of a pregame lobby chat. This makes sense I don't like that missing feature either. So I came up with a temporary (until the patch with lobby chat comes out) solution. When I get home from school (I don't have time now) I am going to make a steam group for Multiwinia lobby chat. I know that not every one has the steam version of Multiwinia but most people now a days have steam. Basically it would put all the users into one place and if they have the steam version (or start it through a short cut they add to steam) then we will know who is playing at the time it would then make it simple to start a steam chat and invite all of the people who join your server to it. Insta presto we have a temporary lobby chat and a way to track if your friends are playing or not.

If there already is a Multiwinia steam group I apologize and we can just use that one.
(I’d go into a bit more detail about what I was planing but I have to leave for school)

Someone already created a steam group during the beta, and there is of course the IRC channel #multiwinia on irc.uplinkcorp.net open for anyone.

Isn't that subject to your nda :roll:

A more appropriately named Steam Group seems a much better idea. I'm just waiting for the lobby myself.

Seriously looking forward to that. Will hopefully make a huge difference and give more life into the game. Great game that it is - should be far more popular that it seems to be :(

It probably will be far more popular once we get lobby chat, because it'll no longer be pot luck.

For some reason it seemed to hit my gaming circles with a whimper rather than a bang. It could be that the lack of a SP story keeps people away. For me the MP aspect is the draw.

Hopefully each time they provide a significant update should draw more people in. Stats is another key part of it - the more the merrier. Can't have enough stats IMHO. WIC is a good example of it done well
