Hey TorchR Bearers 👋
It's the holiday season, and we minions were told to ship a fresh demo for Scream Fest. TorchR cracked the whip. We squeaked - and cracked. There were just too many big changes at once, so that build needs a bit more toil. But, we'd like to share what's coming soon, and instead of a new update, we're giving you a lots of emojis!!
🕷️Multiplayer Bits
Private lobbies to keep the randos out 🛑
Customization starts with display name editing, but cosmetics are planned (hats, backpacks, shoes, the good stuff)
Ping system for easier communication
Nameplates over heads to know who's to blame
Kick button for party poopers
🎃 Level Loading
Only the next level loads at a time
Smoother performance, especially in multiplayer
Levels change order and you will not see every level each run
Next step: Procedural levels built from hand made chunks 🧩
🦇 What’s Next
TorcherR's whip lashes while he yells: "Work more! Make it more difficult!" - So we sweat and cry to make more ways for you to die and blame your friends in the dark (but we also squeeze in some fun in it while he's not watching)
There's more requests from the TorcherR, but we must keep it secret for now, so we can spill the details in the next updates.
👻 Thanks for playing the current demo. Your deaths feed the machine. Our tiny bones too.
Back to the mines now. TorcherR is watching 👁️🗨️
