Developer News - May. 2023

Hey there!

Another month has past and its time for a tiny update.

Let me make this short: multiplayer, multiplayer, multiplayer.
Yep, all focus is towards various aspects of adding multiplayer to Fireworks Mania.

Instead of writing a lot, let me show you some videos instead.
Because as the Vikings use to say: "A YouTube video says more than a thousand runes".

Developer News - April. 2023

Hey there!

Another month has past and its time for a tiny update.

My main focus continuous to be on adding multiplayer and I'm making good progress.

As previously shown, I have basic stuff in place like spawning props and players walking around.

Next up is making the fireworks work.

Obviously, the fireworks do work, you know that from the current version of the game, however, making it work so that it's in sync between players is a different story.

I won't bore you with technical details just want to share a little video with you here of 4 players in a game with fireworks going of. The main focus is to make sure the effects looks the same for all players.

What do you think?

Developer News - March. 2023

Hey there!

Another month has past and its time for a tiny update.

It's no secret that my main focus this year is to try and add multiplayer to the game.

However I have actually also managed to do some minor changes to the current version of the game.
These are, as of writing, still only on the Experimental beta/branch, but will be out to all in the near future.

You can read about it here.

Now to status on multiplayer, which I guess the most of your are a bit more interested in.

I won't go into technical details here, but I can say that it's coming along pretty nicely so far.
As always when talking multiplayer, I cannot promise it will be in the game as I'm currently and for the next many months testing to see if it's possible.

I have tested it with a couple of the most active and dedicated mod creators for Fireworks Mania and we have already had a lot of fun, even though the game is very very basic at this point.
You can't even fire of some fireworks yet. :)

I put together a little video here with clips from our first playtest.
