Team Sharing / Team Cooperation now available!

[Xyphien]

So, in the latest teaser video for RMMV they announced that there will be an option to have Team Sharing / Team Cooperation. So you will now be able to make games with other people with ease. This is something I've been wanting on RM since I found out about it.

How do you feel about this? Is this something you're going to use a lot? I know this opens up a lot of stuff for some contests/community events like *Community Makes* or something that allows the community here to make their own game together.

Nerdgasm *_*
This is freakin awesome. I'm more hyped than ever!

 

[Bizarre Monkey]

Wow gotta say I didn't expect that.

Guys, imagine... evented battles, each player has a character.

LET THE MADNESS ENSUE, BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

So okay "Team Coop" is a bit of a... vague definition.

Will we have to be at the same computer? Because um, that's already possible in any RPGmaker.

If not, servers? Peer to peer? jeez!

Multiplayer isn't a thing you can throw in blindly!

Or is it that you can now share your projects 'state' with others while building it, not in game?

I guess yeah you could easier set that up.

 

[HotfireLegend]

It refers to using stuff like git, I believe.

It means more than likely you can easily share your files with other people and have them work on it. Is what I took from the video. Team Sharing / Cooperation meaning you can add the maping, easily transfer it over to your buddy to do the events, etc.

Oooo! I love this! Time for Team Dev! This will be interesting! :P

 

[Tsukihime]

Which video?

 

[Sonicboy95]

This is madness, NO this is RMMV

 

[Xyphien]

Which video?

I believe it was 2B (I know it was in the 2 series).

Rpgmaker MV is awesome, I really ENVY it.

I'm really surprised no one has made that joke yet.

 

[Tsukihime]

The data is provided in plain-text as opposed to serialized binary, so it should be easier to use version control software.
Not that it wasn't possible before anyways.

I haven't looked at the video so I don't know if they're referring to some sort of special "collaboration features" bundled with MV.

My only concern is whether you need to close project and re-open to reload the changes like before.

Guess I spoke too soon :(

 

[LTN Games]

Team sharing sounds like an awsome idea. The hype for MV just keeps on increasing.

 

[ragneBro]

I really like the idea of putting together a team of people from around the world.
The team name would be "Fluffy Flatscreen". Who wants to join me? 8D

If this RM has .git version control then I will be completely satisfied with all of the new changes they have brought.

Side view battles? Check.
Higher resolution battlers? Check.
Massive plugin support? Check.
Bestiary and yanfly engine? Check.

Javascript support and .git?!
I cannot preorder this software hard enough.

RM doesn't have git version control.
Rather, you can use git to to version control RM, just like how you can use other version control systems.

There isn't really anything stopping you from version controlling previous RM projects. People just didn't do it because "it's all binary!"

YES! \o/

Well sure, but having it save its data in text is a lot more convenient than having it store it in binary for use with .git

Unity doesn't have inherent .git control (At least not as far as I am ware of) but my school team was able to flag its saving type as text instead of binary and it works (for the most part) wonderfully.

Having RPGMaker store its data in text just makes the process a lot simpler.
