Title: Kage Election Part III: A fairer playing field
Post by: jcryer on August 23, 2015, 16:51:35

I don't know when the third Kage Election test (Test of skill in-game) will be.

If it is after the release of the standalone, ignore and delete this thread @Cedie @Kai. Otherwise, please read on.

There are at least 5 people applying for Kage that do not currently have powerful enough computers to properly run the game, and I do not believe this is fair. They would be able to run using the standalone well enough, and so I think that all contenders should get access to the basic standalone; no bells and whistles needed, just the basic Unity export.

I know it is easy enough to create a program that "expires" after a certain date, and that is what I'm suggesting. You hand out this standalone (bound to one user account, just in case) with either the expiry date set to a day after the competition, or the application "self-destructs" upon receiving a signal from the server, on the next login of this user.

This gives all competitors in the Kage elections a fighting chance, no matter their real life computer/money issues etc. and puts everyone on a much more level playing field.

This has already been planned

Please give out the standalone as far in advance as possible, so people with less experience of the game due to computer issues will be able to practise and prepare. If this hasn't been planned, anyone please feel free to add to this and/or give your opinions!

Also, if this gets denied straight off the bat, would we be able to get a reason? :)

We can provide the contenders with the standalone, which will no longer function after the next update.
