Online custom maps, accounts & login, online multiplayer update v5 [Prototype Update #33]
🕑 Added 2021-12-17 20:16:02 +0000 UTCHello!
Update time.
Custom maps are now supported in online mode!
You can build custom online maps using the new Unity package called Govigedit (naming is not our strong suit). Davigedit still exists and works for local maps only, and Govigedit is for online maps. Eventually, these will be combined into one map-making package.
To learn how to create custom online maps and to get started, read this doc.
Just a word of warning though, the package is very new and will be updated in the future, which might break your exported maps rendering them unplayable in the game. When this happens, you'll likely have to adjust your maps and re-export them for them to work.
Also, the Govigedit tool has more features that Davigedit did. Govigedit uses a component based style instead of the previous object swapping system, which allows you to mix and match components, as well as customise them to create new mechanics and ideas. For example, cannons can fire any physics object, e.g. rocks, bombs, trees, etc. Check out the changelog for more info.
Happy map-making!
User accounts and login
We've added a simple user account system and login flow when launching the game. This is necessary to implement for future releases as we'll have to pay for networking costs based on the number of users who are playing.
You'll need to create an account and confirm your email address. Your email address must be the same email you used for your Patreon account as we have to verify that you should have access to the game.
User accounts will potentially be expanded in the future to support user profiles, preferences and customization options.
Online multiplayer improvements
Online networking development is still steadily making progress. The ragdoll now replaces the T-pose, spawning has been fixed, among other improvements. The quest for Quest support continues...
Also, in case you missed it, we're selecting the best custom maps of 2021 in the Discord server. Nominate your favourite map(s) to be included in voting starting this weekend!
Enjoy!
