'Play With the Developer' Session
Tomorrow, you'll have your first ever chance to play with the developer of Flashing Lights himself - Nils Jakrins. At 3PM BST/7AM PDT on Friday 29th June, Nils we be online and boot up a server called 'Play With The Dev Official' - the first nine players to jump in will be lucky enough to play!
Nils will be switching lobbies every 40 minutes, booting up another server and giving nine others a chance to play.
Game 1: 3PM BST/7AM PDT
Game 2: 3:40PM BST/7:40AM PDT
Game 3: 4:20PM BST/8:20AM PDT
This means that up to 27 of you will be able to play with the developer, Nils!
Make sure to join the Flashing Lights Discord too, as we will be hosting a voice chat channel so that you can chat with Nils and the other players if you manage to get into a game with them!
