Version 2.0 is on it's way..
But we have partnered up with http://www.bundlestars.com/ and we want to release the version 2.0 when their bundle has been launched.
That is why we haven't released it yet.
Version 2.0
We are planning to release Version 2.0 next week.
*Multiplayer (LAN/ONLINE)
*Missions
*Controller support (full)
*Achievements
*Steam Trading cards
*Co-op (computer/lan/online)
We have already implemented some multiplayer features on the mobile versions (Windows phone and Android)
Version 1.9
*Performance increase
*Linux and Mac versions are now fully functional
*Added a multiplayer-system to prepare for the launch of version 2.0
*Changed graphics
*Since the launch of the game there has been two multiplayer maps, however they were purposly set to only allow a 1v1-match using one computer and keyboard.
Version 1.9 - The 2.0 is near..
Since we really want to make version 2.0 great we are also going to launch version 2.0 on all the other markets.
Markets that will be affected:
Itunes
Google Play
Windows Store
Steam
*When version 2.0 is out you will be able to play multiplayer with anyone that has the game on these devices.*
The multiplayer has been specifically designed to work with touch devices and keyboards. We are however going to include Xbox-controller support (and a couple of other devices as well).
We have also decided to remake the game from scratch on mobile devices so that it works more efficently. There has also been a couple of tweaks and rewritten scripts on the Steam-version in version 1.9.
We have tested the multiplayer features on all devices - It works great so far, video will be out soon, as well as version 2.0
HoD - Version 1.7
*Changed sound-mechanisms
*Rewrote 20 % of all the scripts
*Added content
Update 1.7
Windows
Mac OS X
Linux
We also have full support for 64-bit and 32-bit.
A lot of people had problems with the current build being deleted in an empty update from Steam, this will however not happen again.
We had to make a better structure of all the builds and platforms etc, it was better to do it now, we think it would have been a lot worse if we had waited with this.
Changing some things - Update 1.7
Before we had three depots (Windows, Mac and Linux) with executables that were configured so they could launch in both 32/64.
However that seems to have caused problems for some people.
So we decided to create 6 depots,
Windows 32-bit
WIndows 64-bit
Linux 32-bit
Linux 64-bit
OSX 32-bit
OSX 64-bit
SInce we are uploading 6 builds right now, Steam had a little trouble figuring out which build to download since we had 3 builds before and now we have 6 builds.
That is why Steam does not download any files right now, so if you still have the old update (the new update cleans the game on the hdd while the build is uploading) set the game so it doesn't update.
However, the builds are almost finished uploading and it should be up within an hour or so.
*The saves in the game will not be affected.
Updates
We have now finished a build which we are going to call Version 2.0
Version 2.0 will contain:
*More worlds
*Online multiplayer (and LAN)
*Steam Trading Cards
*Achievements
*New graphics
This version will be out some time this week.
