Into Oblivion
Into Oblivion - Where For Art Thou?
Also, Godot Engine (what we've been building it and our previous games in) just recently released the 3.0 RC version, with stable not too far behind. Those of you who have been playing the beta might have stumbled across a pretty shitty bug that causes a CTD. It seems to be something wrong with the version of Godot we were using; the dreaded and abandoned v2.2 which was the only one with the good networking functions.
Now that 3.0 is almost out, we are porting the game to it and this should fix that issue. The Dope Game will also probably get ported to fix the 32-bit integer problem which we really hated.
All in all, the game should see it's last beta version this month and hopefully be ready for release in February. But as anyone who follows game development knows, dates don't mean shit. Cheers!
Into Oblivion - Version 0.2.4 Update and Pre-Release
Pre-Release v0.2.4
First and foremost, is the pre-release version of the game. Those of you using the default release branch will notice that networking is disabled. This is because actual multiplayer content won't be added in until 0.2.5 and only the lobby stuff works right now. We wanted to give those players just the base single-player game to test and suggest on.
For those of you wanting to get closer to the multiplayer stuff, you can swap your Steam repo to the beta branch. This will allow you to invite friends to the lobby, send Steam invites, and such. You'll notice the game doesn't let you start a match, for previously stated reasons. Multiplayer is the big focus for v0.2.5 so it'll be coming soon enough.
Beta Testing And Testing
If you snagged a pre-release copy or are in the beta testing groups, you can help us track down bugs and polish up what is already there. You'll want to head over to either the game's community hub (if Steam lets you) here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/618990/ or the CoaguCo Steam group's section here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/coaguco/discussions/5/
There are some bugs we are aware of that will be squashed in v0.2.5 but there may be some we are unaware of still. Also we are curious to hear what you like, hate, want to see removed, and want to see added. Or even tweaked.

Into Oblivion - Pre-release This Friday
The game is still in it's beta testing phase. But Friday we will move from polishing up single-player into adding multiplayer back in for tune-ups before release. We, of course, will be giving out a few select individuals beta access to open it up to more testing. And no, if you have to ask, you aren't on that list.
To all beta testers, this is the best time to give us feedback on stuff to add! Drink recipes, intoxs, residues, special items, skins, etc. As well as all the usual bugs you may come across.
More details on Friday!
