Hello all, it seems as a result of becoming Free to Play, players are unable to create lobbies now. I am currently working on a fix for this that will be out shortly. Thank you to everyone who reported the issue, and sorry for the inconvenience!

The time has come! Starting August 24th, Versus World will be free to play! This will hopefully attract many new players, and will be better for everyone!
For those who have already bought Versus World, I intend to give you exclusive customization rewards once I add unlockable cosmetics. This is fairly far in the roadmap, but it will come. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for playing!
Also, I realize it has been awhile since a game update, but that will change soon. My priorities are the same, with user-generated content being my focus, but there will be smaller updates in the meantime.
Anyways, I look forward to playing with all of you! See ya on the 24th!

First off, happy opening day! Go Twins! Sadly, I'm not here to announce a partnership with MLB, but I am here to talk about Versus World! I first want to thank all the streamers/YouTubers who have been playing Versus World. It's a lot of fun to watch you play it, and it helps me
First off, happy opening day! Go Twins!
Sadly, I'm not here to announce a partnership with MLB, but I am here to talk about Versus World! I first want to thank all the streamers/YouTubers who have been playing Versus World. It's a lot of fun to watch you play it, and it helps me learn how new players interact with the game, so thank you!
Now, let's talk about that player count...
I have decided to constantly run giveaways on steamgifts.com and twitter until there is a minimum average of 50 players per day. It might be a slow process, but I'm dedicated to getting it there. There are unique challenges that occur when you mix indie with multiplayer, but I'm not finished until the world knows Versus World. To address the requests of making it free-to-play, I want to say that I honestly with I could. It's a balancing act between wanting what's best for the game, and the strangling necessity of money. Unfortunately, I can't afford the free-to-play model, as it would require hiring artists. The giveaways are a way of throttling the free price tag, and will hopefully be a good middle ground. We shall see!
Good things on the horizon...
As casually mentioned in the previous Casual Mention, I will still be working on optimization and mod support. I'm currently doing a massive overhaul of all the menus to get them ready for mods, and also, let's be honest, they're a little clunky right now. There are so many cool map and game mode ideas that I want to try, and I will start pumping those out like crazy as soon as this mod infrastructure is in place.
Now, let's talk about that ping...
I want to let you guys know that dedicated servers are something I want to add eventually, most likely before the official release. I will talk about this more in the future, but I thought it'd be worth mentioning real quick.
I want to be as transparent as possible, so please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the development of Versus World. It's certainly not a bother. In fact, I enjoy discussing my game. Anyways, thank you to all of the Versus World players, and have a great day!

Hello, everyone! I just got back from a much needed week off after 18 months of dev time, and now I'm once again ready to kick it into high gear!
I will be using "Casual Mention" announcements to talk about things that aren't directly related to a specific game update. They will include news, plans for the future, and anything else related to Versus World. So, that being said...
...Here's some plans for the future! There are two main things that I'm really excited about getting to work on: optimization and user-generated content
Optimization
While this may be less exciting to some, it is very important. Frame rate is very important to me, and I'm sure I'm not alone on that. Some players (regardless of machine specs) have more issues than others, seemingly random (of course it's not random, though). I can see this first hand, as my old, crappy laptop often runs the game better than my high-end desktop. It makes no sense, but I am highly motivated to figure it out and fix it.
Mods / User-Generated Content
This was something I always planned on adding, but after a week-long soul-searching session, I realized how important it was to add right away. The plan is to set it up so anyone can download the free Unity editor, import the mod tools, and easily create tons of different mods. Using a combination of the Unity scene editor, the Versus World scripting API, and pretty much anything the Unity engine has to offer, it will be very easy to create maps, game types, weapons, grenades, power-ups, and any other dynamic game objects. For example, you could create a post-apocalyptic zombie co-op survival mode, with procedural-generated weapon drops (something I will probably make as an example mod for teaching purposes). These will be rolled out in increments, starting with the ability to make maps and scriptable map objects. When finished, I will also be using these tools to create new features, so anything I need for feature development, you will also have access to. And, of course, all of these mods can be shared using Steam Workshop.
I will still be fixing bugs and adding smaller features in the meantime, but these will be my primary focus.

-Minor optimizations. Very minor, but not the end of the optimizations. I'm aware some players are having frame rate issues. I will always be looking for ways to make it run smoother. I am a firm believer that no one should have to play with less than 60 fps.

NOTE: The next thing I'm going to be working on is expanding the game's online presence with social media, streamers, etc. with hopes to get more players online so it's easier to find matches. Therefore, it may be a few weeks before another game update, unless there are serious bugs. Thank you very much to everyone who has played Versus World so far, and I promise to make increasing concurrent players a top priority!
