Hey guys…
I am new to Modd .io and have been exploring its game creation tools. I have started working on a simple multiplayer game but I am struggling a bit with designing engaging game logic that keeps players interested.
Specifically, I am curious about:
- How to create balanced mechanics for competitive multiplayer games.
- Any tips for managing performance when adding multiple triggers or complex scripts.
- Examples of small but impactful game features that enhance player experience.
I also check this: https://www.modd.io/forum/t/pymodd-a-python-package-for-creating-modd-io-games-in-pythonsalesforce-developer But I have not found any solution. Could anyone guide me about this? If you have any advice, resources or even examples of your own games, I had love to hear about them!
Thanks in advance! 
Nice to meet you attrac, and here’re my answers:
How to create balanced mechanics for competitive multiplayer games:
I just show some successful titles made by modd.io.
Any tips for managing performance when adding multiple triggers or complex scripts:
- You should avoid using complex lines of codes triggered every frame.
- Modd.io crashes itself with 1.5k units (according to a video by toho)
- The game gets laggy when 20 projectiles (bullets) are created at the same time. If you want to apply custom scripts upon creation, the threshold should be even lower.
- AI controlled moving units should be fewer than 50.
If there are 200 units controlled by an AI, the player feels unbearable degree of lag spikes. Even some of them are not moving, it affects the ping value to some extent ( https://www.modd.io/play/DiMPwKWp0/# )
Examples of small but impactful game features that enhance player experience
- Ranks / In-game levels
- Daily bonus
- Achievement
