Update r11 - Introducing Bots & Friend Invites

We just published a new build of the game that has two major new features that people have been asking for a lot: bots and friend invites! Here's the full list of changes:

• Added bots

• Added friend invites

• Added an event calendar

• Fixed a bug causing the level to invisible sometimes

We've been hearing a lot of players mentioning the lack of a singleplayer mode, so that was always something that we wanted to tackle. Initially, we were thinking about implementing a practice mode where you could do time trials in the multiplayer levels. However, that doesn't sound like a lot of fun, so what we did instead was WE ADDED BOTS! Secondly, we re-introduced Friend Invites. This feature used to be in the beta-build, but we had it disabled up until now because it wasn't working properly. Gert-Jan has been working hard on it though and it's finally ready. So you can now get private games going more easily by inviting friends! So if you start the game and click on Custom Game in the multiplayer menu, you'll see these two new features. Note that you can add bots to any multiplayer game, it doesn't matter if it's a local and/or an online match, but you can only do it through the custom game menu. Have fun! -Casper PS: Don't forget to come back tomorrow for SpeedRapture; it'll rain rockets for 24 hours!
