Stick Veterans

So, good news is multiplayer mode for Stick Veterans is progressing very well.

Despite some bugs that need work, it seems to be in a near-complete form.

This screenshot shows a localhost test (2 builds connecting in the same computer), but LAN connectivity was also successful.

Today I had the first multiplayer playtest with 3 people. We connected over Hamachi (a well-known LAN emulator over the Internet) and, despite some bugs we found, the game ran very well.

Onward to the bad news: the game will probably be restricted to LAN mode.

Worldwide connections require a masterserver to make the connections, and I am not willing to rent a server as the cost is too much considering this is a free game.

You will still be able to connect with people in other locations, either by using Tunngle or Hamachi (like we did) or by opening your Internet port (“port forwarding”) when you host a game. Sorry about this restriction.

Despite that, I hope you are as excited for the good news as I am. Multiplayer Stick Veterans is happening soon!

No progress yet... but still going. Sorry for my absence, guys. Been inactive for the last 2 months. Your ongoing support and your new follows every day reminded me of why I made the game in the first place. I'll strive to not disappoint you.
