Realistically, in a medium sized, moderately furnished, good graphic- settings room, is it plausible to have; say, 60 enemies on screen? What's the recommended maximum?

You probably could, take the polygon count in some new computer games for one enemy, then think of an enemy in FPSC

Did you watch the video? Entity instancing allows you to have loads of characters on screen with out a performance hit.

Instancing will allow for creation of massive zombie games...very massive...very very massive. Well,you'd need a cpu to back it up on physics and ai. But still...massive....

Uhmm..Zombie game!? This starts to sound like dead rising, but it would be cool if you can place two armies in a room and watch them fight each other.

All depends on poly count of enemies and how well we optimise the LOD and the AI. Currently Lee and Paul are working hard to improve the speed of the main loop.

Dead rising inspires me only slightly, because there is no looming dread or sense of desperation. Plus this is an FPS. Much better.

I would very much like to have instanced allies on your team, say around 60, battle around 60 instanced enemies ^^. Also, instanced enemies can be killed, correct?

Hah,of course. If not,why have them? With the instancing you can set position,animation,rotation,texture,and scale. So I only assume you can kill them if your given the right amount of features to do so.

I am finding that a game with 50 enemies in is not so great - just kill, kill, kill... Still, we continue to work on the game play aspects and optimization of it.

Is not so great fun wise. We have two challenges to deal with here at TGC:

1. Make the game play battle more fun.
2. Optimise the AI. Currently all 50 enemies are trying to A* path find around each other, technically cool but expensive on CPU time. A solution is underway. Lee is exporting cleaner collision data for Paul's AI system to deal with. We should know the results soon...

X10 is just stuck in the mud of optimisation at present, it will soon rise out of the mud all clean and crisp!
