Incoming Patch - More Content, More Chaos!
We'd like to thank all our fans who have provided us with feedback for the alpha co-op. We're working on addressing the bugs and completing the co-op features.
In the meantime, here's a teaser screenshot of one of two incoming maps. The Cemetary tileset features a tranquil courtyard meant to pay respects to the dead, moments before being fettered with carnage and violence. Joining our roster of maps is the Corporation map, an exciting trek through a research lab/office environment - expect a lot of lobbies, corridors, and pillars.
Also coming soon are two new enemy additions - the Armored Sumo and the Daimyo.
The Sumo dominates ground based encounters by charging at his foes with deadly force, and then taking them out in a flurry of swings with his mechanized arm.
The Daimyo fills in the boss role, having a plethora of moves that can instantly punish any positioning mistakes or incorrect judgement. Look out for his lightning fast executions of blade waves one after another, as well as the overpowering torrent of bullets from his chaingun.
This patch will drop in two weeks.
Test Branch - Co-op Alpha
Hey ninjas, we've just uploaded an alpha version of the the co-op mode on our test branch. Be sure to back up your save folder at C:\Users\{User}\AppData\LocalLow\Mixed Realms\Sairento VR to be safe, before switching to the test branch if you'd like to try it out.
Getting started - You'll find the Co-op tab under Operations. You'll be given the chance to enter a player name (can be changed), and then select a region to connect to. If you press Connect, it will by default connect you to the region with the best ping.
- Start a co-op mission by Creating a room, joining any existing ones in your region, or by joining a room with a specific name (if your friends have set one up).
- Once in the game lobby, the lobby leader can start the game once everyone is ready.
Notes - When dropped to 0 health, you will be in a down state. A fellow ninja must lay a free hand on you to help you back up. If all ninjas are down, the game ends.
- For now, the game party is disbanded once everyone returns to the dojo. We will look into keeping the party together in the future.
- Lastly, expect to face some odd behavior or visual bugs! This is an early version of our co-op feature which we will be improving over time.
Known issues Here are some issues we are aware of and will be addressing soon :
- Acceleration currently does not affect your movement speed in a slide, or after hopping off a wall
- The acceleration bubble doesn't appear in a backflip
- Some enemies may disappear instantly on death
Bug Reports Kindly direct all bug reports to our Co-op bugs thread on our forum. Our friendly multiplayer programmer Robin will get right on them :)
Co-Op Alpha Testing
Hey Ninjas!
We've been hard at work on the upcoming co-op functionality and we're excited to announce that we'll be running some alpha testing on it soon.
First - if you are more interested in keeping your Sairento VR experience stable, we recommend you stay or switch to the default branch now. You can verify that you are on the stable branch if the game title is Sairento VR in your steam library, instead of Sairento VR [test].
For those interested in helping us test and weed out the bugs - we strongly recommend you make a backup of your existing save folder at C:\Users\{User}\AppData\LocalLow\Mixed Realms\Sairento VR to be safe.
We will be updating the test branch with the co-op alpha in a week or two. Stay tuned for more!
FAQ Q : How many players can play together at a single time?
A : Tentatively up to 4.
Q : How will Accelerating work in multiplayer?
A : You will generate a bubble of time around yourself. Projectiles and enemies entering them will be slowed. Other players will not be affected in this bubble but will still benefit from the slowing effects. The bubbles do not stack (overlapping bubbles will not slow time even further).
Q : Friendly fire?
A : You will be able to toggle it.
Q : How will the difficulty scale?
A : The difficulty will be based off the host's options. The number of enemies and their health will scale up to match the number of players. We will likely need to make balance adjustments to the values down the road.
Q : PVP?
A : We will be focusing on co-op first, but PVP will come later.
