Killer instinct 1up

Post by Grasshopper »

Hi code mystics! We all love the new beta but after talking to a lot of people in our group I made a list of suggestions for you that we would love to see. Let me know what you think and keep up the great work!

Suggestions:

1) best out of 3 match option - Would be great to have best out of 3 with auto kicking the looser and starting up the next player automatically.

2) spectators - we would love to see who's spectating by pressing the live button

3) what about adding p1 and p2 next to the names in the bottom so you know who's who without looking to hard?

Thanks again!

Hi!

Thanks for your feedback.

Some comments:

The left player's name is on the left and the right player's name is on the right. ;) If you're playing, the one that isn't you is white.

There is both a technical and aesthetic reason the spectator's names are not available. The technical reason is the spectating machines (except one) are not in direct communication with the players and we want to keep it that way because we don't want added spectating traffic to interfere with the netcode performance. (Slightly more technical: enumerating every participant in the mesh and reporting it back to the head node breaks the "scalability".) The aesthetic reason is that lurkers can be shy and we don't want to discourage them from participating.
