Multiplayer
« on: February 04, 2017, 01:16:57 pm »
I don't think this has been asked before, but I was wondering at what stage of the development multiplayer would be implemented? Just so I can let my friends know if we'll be able to play together using the alpha keys or not.

It's implemented now, in that it works and that I periodically test to make sure it's still working (doesn't desync, etc). There's some extra work that goes into the "start a new game" process, and that process isn't really implemented right now (I just click a button and it does mapgen with a particular map type, size, etc). But the idea is that MP will be in for the alpha at the end of this month.
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games? Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

Awesome :D It'll be more fun to test together :)
