A new update has been launched.
Experimental Multiplayer Support:
- Has been in the works since July 2022.
- Should work, but is unstable.
- Tested to work between two Steam accounts, but not tested between different regions.
- Loading multiplayer save functionality was added, but not thoroughly tested.
- Multiplayer games may not start with huge or impractical maps.
Throughout development, New Stars has been largely been focused on a singleplayer experience for simplicity, and multiplayer playtesting wasn't really playtested due to development contraints etc., but I am adding it because I believe it should now work to an okay standard - no guarantees though.
New map size "Impractical" - 1000 stars:
- As the name suggests, this map size is chaotically large.
- Won't work with multiplayer (packets are too big).
- Suggested by Grendain.
There were other improvements, such as the main menu theme being different, and some bug fixes, but I forgot the rest.
