Repeated intro

Hello, friends! Today we want to share a lot of information about the upcoming multiplayer! When we’ve decided to choose “Player VS Player” concept for the multiplayer, we’ve encountered a lot of problems and difficulties: starting with maps what we had in the game already - they were not suitable for this mode. Same goes to the teleport system, which could have given a big advantage or disadvantage to certain players. And the fact that we had absolutely no idea how one player should see another player in the game was just another issue in this list. That was exactly the time when we came to ask for your help! I’m sure you remember us posting sketches and voting polls. We are excited to show you the results of our hard work:

addedVRobot’s modelWe’ve added the Robot’s model to game. In the new mode, you can actually "touch" your opponent.

addedInteractionWe’ve added the interaction between the environment and the enemy - now you can throw houses at him, and in the future - use different types of weapons.

addedNew map and locomotionWe’ve prepared a new map with two respawn points on it. We’ve also added an absolutely new element to the game - the energy reactors. While the enemy's reactor is active - the player is protected with a shield. In order to disable the enemy’s shield you need to destroy his reactor. We’ve decided to remove the teleports and use locomotion instead.
