This is a sad thing to say, but D4 is going to be the final update for Shenanigans Multiplayer.

From now on, the game counts as a finished game, and mainly I will only make bugfixes.

Why?

Because after a lot of thinking I came to the conclusion that Shenanigans Multiplayer is quite an uninspiring and bland title, that does not know it’s identity? What is it? It involves building.. ok? It involves shooting.. ok? Together these both can be quite fun, but Shenanigans Multiplayer’s execution of both these things was, well, bad.

Now, to make you a little less sad, the Donator version is receiving a permanent price drop, I will see how low I can go. Also, D4 includes a lot of goodies that you will probably enjoy, so there is that.

I guess this is the end of Shenanigans Multiplayer, for now. This was quite an interesting ride for me. Finally releasing a game on Desura, to me that was like “wow I can’t believe I did it”, and then I was like “updates updates updates updates updates updates”, and then I was like “darn this project is way too big for me”, and then it was me understanding how boring the game actually is to me.

Don’t get me wrong there are people who actually enjoy the game, and I have no plan of killing the online service, but as a lot of people say

“Make games that you would like to play”

..and well, Shenanigans Multiplayer, which started as quite an ambitious project for me-was actually a big learning experience (well all projects are, but I learned a lot more from Shenanigans than any other).

I hope to see you playing my other future projects.

D4 is going to be released soon.
