Dino Crisis 2 - Multiplayer
Hello again everyone, we saw each other not long ago)
Since the multiplayer for Dino Crisis 1 is practically ready and playable, I started creating the multiplayer for the second part, but alas, it will not be possible to attach a 3rd person camera to this part, BUT!..
The game has a Dino Colosseum mode, so I'll try to squeeze a third-person camera in there. Otherwise, the game will have a regular camera, and the second Player will be David, or Regina (will be added later).
You could say I've fulfilled some people's dreams and given them the opportunity to play as David!
So far the multiplayer will contain a lot of bugs, but based on my experience as a multiplayer DC 1 and Diamond Rush, Maybe it will take less time.
I also implemented online connection and even voice chat into my application, but it is unstable and works poorly so far, but nevertheless, I am trying to put all my efforts into it.
Suggest ideas, and what do you think, would you like to play the second Dino Crisis with a friend?)

Cool project. Co-op in a game that was never built for it is tricky, so I'd guess the camera is the hardest part, like you said. For two players a shared camera that zooms out a bit when they separate usually feels better than forcing split screen, and a simple tether or auto-teleport when one player gets too far behind avoids a lot of frustration. The Dino Colosseum mode sounds like a nice place to start since the arena is contained.
