The regular servers are down at the moment, but only because a new update is coming soon, after some more testing :) I hope for less latency and more even play between low-end and high-end computers :)
Version 1.1 BETA 20 with hotfix
The new version contains an important hotfix for the Warehouse Front map where you could not pass through the large doors after they had been destroyed, along with some other minor fixes.
Version 1.1 BETA 19 is out!
(The BETA part is only referring to the online play feature). A suitcase bug causing the suitcase the be dropped in the wrong location in certain cases has been fixed. A small bug allowing players to join a match twice has also been fixed. Please let me know if you encounter anything strange. Enjoy!
The new servers are online!
For some time now, the new online servers have been online. They have been running much longer without problems than the old temporary servers did. The server app has been rewritten. I would like to get some feedback if you experience any problems, and also if you just like the game :) Have fun!
Shutting down the temporary servers
As of today, I will be shutting down the temporary servers. If you would like to play, get in touch with me and we can have a couple of matches, you can send me a message over at http://geezergames.dk/contact.html I will check for mail daily and we can arrange a match at a set time.
Official servers issues
There are some issues with the official servers, sometimes they stop responding, sometimes they just stop running. I'm very sorry about these issues and I will cancel my holiday and continue re-writing all of the Dedicated Server code. In the meantime, I will try to keep an eye on the servers and keep restarting them when necessary.
Online play BETA 1.1f online now
There is a new BETA build online now, it includes 360 degrees shooting.
Weekend is over
Monday, the weekend is over and you can now opt-in on the public BETA for online play in Pixel Killers - The Showdown. If you find any bugs, please don't hesitate to report it! I will do my best to correct the bug(s). I hope you have fun playing! Oh, and there are two servers online in Denmark if you don't want to host your own game. If you host your own game you have to make sure to allow Pixel Killers through your firewall and/or forward your selected ports in your router.
Weekend is coming
Never release a big update just before the weekend.
Online open BETA coming soon
A quick update!
-Online play will soon be introduced in open BETA mode, I just need a little more testing first.
-The need for porting the code to C++? It turns out, one of my testers kept playing on a computer that is below minimum system requirements. For the time being, there is no need to port the entire game to C++.
-A new map will be available in the open BETA, the Library map.
