Network and online play are in the works right now, but multiplayer is not on the table in the near future. Online and net play will feature chat, however.

Hey I have a question about the chat part. Is there going to be a 'word filter', because I hate it when people get mad and cuss on games.

[Brian]

We haven't yet decided on if or how to restrict chat. It is an issue which we will address in the future. At the moment, there is no word filter, but then, it's basically just in house right now.

yeah it will be good if we can play online because then there could be like a top 10 and you could have like a matcjh count and who you have versed and if you lost
because then when ur like in forums and sum1 says there better than you you can just say.."prove it :)"

Another question about online play. What if, two people are playing the game, and one of them is the host. If the host's internet gets dissconnected what will happen to the other player? Will he just sit there versing a dead tank, or will the game freeze. Another question was, will there be a "kick" option for the server, so they can kick a player out if that person is acting up. One more thing that I thought of, well actually its more of a idea. I have seen this in other online games.

Taunts: Whenever a person "chats" certain numbers will be default taunts. So like if they player is in chat and types in 1. Then a voice will say the default taunt for 1. So if the taunt for 1 is "That was easy!" Then when the player types in 1 (and only 1, as in just the number), a voice will say "That was easy!". On screen would appear. (Player name): That was easy!

Just an idea :)

Everlast, that is something we're working on now, and one of the reasons network play isn't out yet. Currently, if a packet is dropped, or someone loses his connection, the game freezes up. It is necessary to simply cause it to end the round if something like that happens.

As to the Taunts, Mike and I were discussing that very thing just the other day. I envision a number of default taunts and possibly some user created ones to customize your trash talking. So there might be the default "That hurt" or "I'm going to bury you" as well as whatever your own style would be, like "oH N0OOeezz!" or "My nipples explode with delight!".
