Online Beta Update - Easier To Connect With Friends!
Hello everyone!
It's been a while since our last announcement, where we mentioned that the online beta would be coming soon. Well, we've got good news for you! It's actually been out for a little while, but previously people had been having issues connecting and had been experiencing game-breaking bugs. This announcement brings some important changes :)
There are definitely still bugs though, which is why it's still in Beta. If you're experiencing bugs that aren't on the known list, please submit them here.
We're working on making sure that the online play is seamless and there are no game-breaking bugs, so that's the highest priority. We've also started looking into setting up server lists so that you can join a game online without needing to have friends! I mean... without needing to invite friends to play online. This will act as a sort of "matchmaking", and we may look into doing real matchmaking at some point, but that will come later.
For now, enjoy the game, and if you want updates, be sure to follow us on Twitter. Thank you!
