Hey Ninjas!
We've been hard at work on the upcoming co-op functionality and we're excited to announce that we'll be running some alpha testing on it soon.
First - if you are more interested in keeping your Sairento VR experience stable, we recommend you stay or switch to the default branch now. You can verify that you are on the stable branch if the game title is Sairento VR in your steam library, instead of Sairento VR [test].
For those interested in helping us test and weed out the bugs - we strongly recommend you make a backup of your existing save folder at C:\Users\{User}\AppData\LocalLow\Mixed Realms\Sairento VR to be safe.
We will be updating the test branch with the co-op alpha in a week or two. Stay tuned for more!
FAQ
Q : How many players can play together at a single time?
A : Tentatively up to 4.
Q : How will Accelerating work in multiplayer?
A : You will generate a bubble of time around yourself. Projectiles and enemies entering them will be slowed. Other players will not be affected in this bubble but will still benefit from the slowing effects. The bubbles do not stack (overlapping bubbles will not slow time even further).
Q : Friendly fire?
A : You will be able to toggle it.
Q : How will the difficulty scale?
A : The difficulty will be based off the host's options. The number of enemies and their health will scale up to match the number of players. We will likely need to make balance adjustments to the values down the road.
Q : PVP?
A : We will be focusing on co-op first, but PVP will come later.
