V1.8.0.19 & Multiplayer News

Multiplayer Beta Week

Firstly, huge apologies, I've had to push back the release of multiplayer for a week to May 16, sorry to everyone looking forward to it. The good news though is that one of the reasons is the new multiplayer features being added which I think make both Co-op and PvP modes a bunch more fun and they just need a little bit more testing and refinement. Here's a quick overview:

Co-op Campaign

Grab a friend and play a short new campaign which includes both economic and military maps. Use the new Shared Storage Yard building to share resources and work together to achieve the mission goals. Compete on the leaderboards for the best shared colony strategies.

Time Limited Games

If you want to play a definitively shorter game or a longer game then set a in-game time limit and see who comes out on top by the end, with the winner having made either the most money or the points from...

Point Games

A new mode where points are gained for capturing runestones within your territory. Capture large runestones to double your points!

Public Beta Week

You can now playtest all these features on the new multiplayer beta on the development branch on Steam. All feedback is appreciated!
