The Game

Chronomancer Siege is a game I made in less than 10 weeks for the Ubisoft Game Lab Competition 2017. It's an online cooperative brawler with a touch of puzzles, in which you must play with time to defeat your enemies.

The players can record/rewind at any time during a fight and there's always a lot going on. Therefore, one of the biggest technical challenges of this game was to perfectly rewind the state of all actors while, at the same time, minimizing the network lag and making it look smooth for the player.

Overall, I think we did a good job: the skeleton bones rewind smoothly and accurately every frame, there is no noticeable lag over the network and the game state is never broken.
