Collaboration syncing

[deacondinkins]

Hello All,

My friend and I are collaborating on a 2d ORPG. I am designing the maps and sprites and such, and he is doing the questing and all that. We are having trouble syncing our games so that both of our updates are there?  As of right now we are losing either mine or his work a lot of the time.

 

Any tips or Tricks?

Yeah, syncing two separate databases is going to be a real pain in the ass. I suppose you could do it through something like onedrive or dropbox, though if both of you are making changes at the same time then I'm not sure if the .db file will update correctly.

 

Really, the best way is to set up a test server where the game is actually running, so both of you aren't running separate instances.

You could try to put your game on a onedrive and bolt of you would use it. It sould be fine, but about th quest and other i don't know why you couldn't see the update live.

 

Does your game is online ? or you all use localhost on many server ?

For Arcwyre we use Dropbox. As long as you are port forwarding your server you can host it from your machine and both work through separate editors via Dropbox to keep file updates managed.
