Fresh out of beta this latest version fixes connectivity issues for online multiplayer, for those who were having trouble with the old lobby system. Collision detection has also been tweaked, as well as compatibility testing been carried out with macOS 10.14 Mojave. The main menu now also includes a handy news feed which displays any announcements in a ticker across the bottom of the screen. Don't forget - if you're hosting a game behind NAT and/or a firewall you will need to forward port 27015 to your host computer. Thank you to everyone for their support and patience, and don't forget we love to hear any feedback you have. Happy clambering!
Beta 1.2.1873 Released for Windows and macOS
This version has improved online multiplayer match making, which should also work cross platform between Windows and mac. It also uses the latest version of the xygine framework which includes updates to the collision detection. To get the beta just right click on the game in your library and opt-in under the beta tab. Please make sure to leave any feedback you have including any new bugs which may have popped up. Thanks to everyone for their continued support!
Multiplayer online - Public beta released
Unfortunately a few users have reported difficulties playing online which we've narrowed down to a problem with Steam match making and an incompatability with the enet networking library which Castle Clamber uses. We're currently working on overhauling the network play side of things which may take a few weeks or possibly even longer - but as we're keen to get multiplayer out to as many people who've missed out so far as we can, the beta branch of Castle Clamber is now available. Simply right click on the game in your library, select properties, click the beta tab and then opt-in. The beta currently only targets Windows but will sporadically be updated for mac too. Right now online games should work - but if you're hosting and are behind NAT you'll need to forward port 20715, and allow it through any firewalls you may have too. Please leave any comments/bugs/suggestions for the beta as all constructive feed back is valuable. Happy clambering!
