Hey!
Big delay on this one as it required a major update to our networking package and was a huge can of worms. Adding multiple warriors to the same PC allows is one of the last major features to implement to get us to parity with the local version of the game.

Hey!
After our latest poll results showed our players love the birds in DAVIGO—and, in fact, expressed a strong desire to see more bird content—we've decided to change tack and improve the birds in the game. DAVIGO is now BIRDVIGO, and new BIRDVIGO features can be played in the latest prototype.

Hey!
The long awaited Quest prototype is now available. Both the Quest 1 and Quest 2 are supported 😊
The Quest version is simply an extension of the online multiplayer support, and is thus limited by the state of the online mode.
If this is your first time playing the prototype build, please note that it is not at feature parity to the local version of the game.
Hey Earthbreakers, Riftmakers and Davigods!
Please use the from below to get access to the Quest prototype build. Both Quest 1 and Quest 2 are supported.
You'll need a few things before you start.

Hey all,
Another prototype update here, mostly design this time!
New feature: Aim Camera. The camera now zooms in close to the warrior when readying the rocket, which provides more angles to fire at (especially useful at close range -- it allows you to fire directly up at the giant). This improvement is only available on the new levels described below.

This is the month we accepted the truth, that we basically had to hunker down and just port a bunch more code to work with our networking system. Needless to say, it’s better to start a game with networking in mind, rather than converting a local game to a networked game after the fact. But online networking opens up so many doors…
