We always say Formula Wincars is a social game but why is that? How do we build the social aspect of the game? That is the topic I will talk about today.
Being social means players will be able to have tons of friends and chat, play and compite with them. To do so, you have to send a friend request to another player so both of you are aware of each other and can interact between yourselves.
This seems like a pretty simple thing, just click a button which sends the request and your friend at the end of the line will accept it. Well, as always, it’s not that simple. We have to make some checking before actually presenting and accepting the friend requests.
Eduardo has already talked to you about our server architecture. Once a player logs in, he or she connects to a server in which everybody is listed. This way you can know if a friend of yours is connected or playing and even chat with your friends.
It is also the place where we manage the friend requests and race invitations. Every request or invitation will go from its sender to its destinatary through this server. Doing it so, we can check if someone is trying to send a request to a player who is already his or her friend in the game or if someone who you have blocked is trying to connect with you.
But being social is not only sending friend requests. You will be able to invite your friends to a race with you or make a team with them to compite with other pre-made teams.
So, if you are looking forward to playing Formula Wincars, tell your friends! It will be so much fun racing with them!
