Here are some news about the development progression! I'm now working full time on the multiplayer part of the game (v0.3 update). In the past week i've thought and worked a lot on the network architecture, in order to achieve a good multiplayer experience (lag, etc.), and keeping it as simple and efficient as possible (so I can release it as soon as possible). I also took into account the future custom game mods in v0.4, and possibly a modding support with the steam workshop
I worked a lot on the game creation (cf. the screenshots below), that use Steamwork's lobbies system. There won't be an independent server application. The player who wish to be the server will directly create the game (and save it and load it) ; and other players will be able to join it as they wish.
I also had to rework the saving system, and I took the opportunity to activate the Steam Cloud - and it seems to work very well!
This multiplayer development is not an easy task and it will take some time to complete it. That's why I wanted to first finish the solo part of the game, so you can play and enjoy the game until v0.3 is done. If you already finished the game don't hesitate to try to get the various achievements, they are all challenging!
