        1. @pinhooves You've heard about that game I'm working on yes? The one called Chao Land.

            1. @pinhooves Okay, I'll try not to talk your ears off and give a short summary. Chao Land is the primary project (former MMO) of a game I'm working on with a team, for a small indie community that has been around for probably more than two and a half years.

              1. @ladestitute Alright, so what's wrong?

                1. @pinhooves Recently, we removed the MMO part and switched engines. Development from then on was 100% by scratch (it was forced, anyway) and it has been ongoing for 3 weeks. The choice to switch engines (and for the second time, actually) was slightly off on basis, so we didn't think it through a little. The idea of doing MMO client/server software (not by myself, silly) by hand came into mind, in the past hour. The idea is rushed since it's so early and sudden, and very daunting for a set of beginner coders but the near mass possibilities with handwriten client/server software is nearly endless along with a huge boost in performance. Something our current engine doesn't have sadly (well, it's export format is HTML5 which is a very young language and not so good with heavy mass-user data handling/performance) though. Other than that, we've switched engines twice and I dislike to throw away my work, even it is truly little in comparsion to writing MMO software by hand.

                  1. @ladestitute Well hopefully it'll turn out the way you want it.

                    1. @pinhooves I just like an opinion if I should switch so suddenly, or to even do it?
