A little bit late but here is the promised video.

I've 100% finished the menu and now only gameplay features remain to be implemented.

As soon as every functionality of the single player game works in multiplayer. Well that and after David adds it to github I guess.

Some people were concerned about the multiplayer fitting in with the lore, one possible solution to that issue is to have a team-based scenario where one team is the receivers and the other side is kill drones.

I think it would be interesting to play as the stun-drones, this sort of balances things out if the game is played in a first team to be wiped out kind of mode. The humans have limited ammo and the drones have to get right up in the face of the humans.

Co-op is pretty easy to fit into the lore.

My main issue with multiplayer is that a lot of the atmosphere of the game is lost by having someone there with you. It kind of removes that "against the world" vibe, and places too much weight on the tension in combat to hold the atmosphere, which I'm not sure it can do alone. Either way, it's an interesting experiment.

I have no idea, I'm trying but as soon as I find some free time something urgent comes up :( I've planned some more free time for next week but I can't make no promises.

Edit: Also here is the main reason why I am so busy: http://s-ze.ro/R8aUl4

Awesome, but will it be possible to be more than 2 players? and will there be possible to shoot eachother?

If so, me and my friends will go bananas hunting eachother down while everything around us are trying to kill.

another question, if both players are facing an AI, how will the ai choose who to kill? the closest one, the one it spotting first or randomly?

If this works, Wolfire needs to add the code to normal Receiver.

I've been very very busy, I haven't had the time to work on Receiver, as soon as I can I will continue the work. Sorry about the delay but I can't put my real work in front of this.

Hey guys, here's a lucky case I ran into while doing some testing. Look what I found:

IDK if this ever happened to any of you or if I messed up the probability of tapes spawning somewhere.
None the less it's something that can be fixed so it doesn't matter that much. :lol:
