We just pushed a new build with a bunch of improvements focused on Online play experience & various other feedback we received.
It's been a busy week! Here is the rundown of what's new:
- It's easier to Chat with players in-game or in lobbies by just hitting a "chat" button.
- You can now control the camera-angle using the mouse by clicking the middle mouse button (formerly, you could only change the angle using the arrow keys).
- Added the opponent's username to the HUD (and highlighted the one whose turn it is).
- Bugfix: if you switched played an AI game, then local multiplayer, sometimes the progress-bar would still be in the HUD.
- More graceful handling of international characters.
- Better error messages if you try to connect to a lobby that is no longer available (eg: already filled up).
- Made it so you can let go of the piece you're placing by right-clicking
If you're around on Saturday (February 1st) at 12pm EST to 4pm EST, come online to play some Hive! It'll be our first event, so it'll be fun to see some of you there!
