(Simpsons characters are not part of the game, but from a mod)
Hey!
Its been another month and time for an update from the developer - aka me :)
In case you missed it, Public Multiplayer Beta is open!

Town, Ranch and City maps
The overall main focus for me over the last weeks have been to try and make the "default" maps work.
It might sound odd and you are thinking - Hey the default maps already work, right?
Well, yes I could enable the default maps we know from the current version (also known as Singleplayer version) - however, very quickly you could see that it's not working properly.
As you know in these default maps things can explode - this currently is made only to work in singleplayer, meaning these explosions will only be visible for the host and not for all client.
Similar, all the things you can move around in these maps, are not yet multiplayer-enabled, meaning the position, rotation, state etc. is not synced over the network. This result in the experience is terrible in multiplayer and people are not seeing the same things.
Therefore this is what I'm working on right now. It might sound easy, but there are some technical reasons why this isn't super trivial - but I use to make things work :)
Already I have made good progress, even though its been pretty hard to do, as I basically need to redo the entire "destruction system" I had in place in the current version of the game.
If you wanna see how it looked and worked in the current state, I showed it off in the beginning on my livestream yesterday.
