Hey everyone!
The week-long sale is over, but the work does not stop. I wanted to release this patch asap, but it will need a lot of testing. It would be nice if let's say an 8 player FFA was running smoothly, and in theory it should. In practice, well, join our Discord and we will organize a match over a virtual LAN. Anyways, here's the full feature list for 1.0.9:
- Reworked networking from the ground up to support more than 2 players (up to 8 at the moment)
- Added user name field to network skirmish panel. Default player name is your Steam ID.
- Recieving a chat message now plays sound effect
Fixed: Northern ramp was unwalkable on Orbit Royale map
Fixed: after loading a map, neutral units were yellow instead of white
Fixed: loading a skirmish map could load the wrong player as the human
Fixed: player 8 would automatically lose the game
Fixed: Announcer sounds no longer play while in menu;
This is all for today. This feature was my main goal for May, but now I can start working on something else. What medium-sized feature would you want in the game first and foremost? Things I've been thinking about are:
- Endless survival?
- More skirmish maps?
- More music tracks?
As always, I'll be looking forward to your feedback!
