Last weekend, we took a stab at creating an online multiplayer shooter<\/a>. If you haven’t seen it already, it’s a fun 2-player experiment where each player can hack the controls of the other player, disabling up to two buttons. Since the original release had a lot of technical problems, we’ve created a post-jam release that improves on the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Explosions and sparks will not sync their positional data to the server more than once.<\/li>\n
  2. Increasing how often the player and bullet syncs their data.<\/li>\n
  3. Made the opposing player’s animations to be much more reactive.<\/li>\n
  4. Changed the health meter graphics.<\/li>\n
  5. Vastly increased the range of the radar.<\/li>\n
  6. Player avatar now appears as arrows in the radar.<\/li>\n
  7. Added a laser to indicate the path the bullet will follow.<\/li>\n
  8. Prevented disabling more than one directional key<\/li>\n
  9. Shields (called “Reflect”) can now be disabled. The programmer actually forgot to enable this button, and was meant to always be hackable.<\/li>\n
  10. Made the player avatars and their colliders much larger.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    Hopefully these simple changes will improve the playability of the game.<\/p>\n \n
