Incredible!
Multiplayer! We did it! :)
Okay, this update was looooong, sorry for this. But this is a huge achievement for us, considering we almost didn't have any experience with multiplayer.
But we should warn you, this is not fully functional multiplayer. Actually, there is many many bugs and gameplay issues, but from now, we'll releasing a new updates every couple of days!
Some bugs are really annoying, for example lag compensation is still not implemented (because we are not sure how to do it, yet), and the game can be pretty uncomfortable.
We thought, should we release an update now, when the game is so much bugs?
But when we tested it with 3-4 players, to our surprise we played it for two hours and it was very fun. In addition, you waited so long, so we decided to release it now, and fix bugs with frequent updates.
Several features was temporary removed because we encountered a problems during implementation for multiplayer. But don't worry, we will return it back in next updates.
Also, we wish to remind you that we have Trello page where you can "Like" or leave a comment for some specific planned features by using your Google account. Several people already tried it and seems like it is pretty interesting system.
The next updates will be focused mainly on the bug fixes and improvements. A lot of bug fixes. Now we wish to make the game very stable and smooth. After that, we will implement new features. Probably, firstly we will implement the most desired features, based on amount of Likes on Trello page. For now, this is production and crew system. And we are agree with it.
So, hope you will like the update. See you soon!
