Some fixes and a new feature in the works. Alpha 0.6 has something fun on the way :D
I've updated the network infrastructure a bit so that I can jump in and play with people from my in game editor which has improved how I'm able to fix bugs :)
Fixes
- Fort health bar should be synchronized (once again...)
- Enemies should do attack animations on non-hosts
- Ice material (frozen enemies) performance improvements
Upcoming Feature
The ground work has been laid in this update to allow spectating the game. But not just any sort of spectating...
I'll be able to pop in to games as a spectator (currently it will also make the game harder as it thinks you have another team mate), towering above everyone and looking down like the map is a toy box.
Going to test it out tonight and, if all goes well, I'll implement a way for others to jump in/out of spectator mode during the breaks between wave groups! (currently only I have that power from the editor)
Just trying it out in the editor with a dummy game was fun enough, I think this will be an amazing addition (watching the little toy people fight the little toy monsters).
See you in game!
