Spider Wars
Update Delays
We hope you are well and safe during these tough times. We are still working to try finish the migration to steam networking. This is a huge task and is taking more time than we had anticipated. Our programming team is hard at work trying to get this done. As Spider Wars is coming to an end we have started work on a much smaller Game with the Art team in order to try get some more funding for the studio.
Things are tough for everyone at the moment and we wish you all the best of luck.

Projected Timeline
Hi all just a quick update on the situation of the update.
The Update will be delayed until at least January 2020 as we have no other choice than to redo the entire networking in the project. This is a time consuming task.
We hate to delay updates but we would rather take longer to deliver something playable, with quality, than rushing out an update.
Thanks for your patience.

Post Beta Announcement
We are preparing to release into beta, which will be the culmination of a years worth of work put into the game. This update has taken so long to arrive because the core of multiplayer has been changed quite a lot and needed to be fixed properly before updating.
We have also started working on Steam Inventory service for Spider Wars. This means initially Spider Skins will be coming into the game obtainable in-game. You will be seeing the first batch of common loot type skins that will be expected.
This will be the last chance to get Spider Wars at it's reduced price of $5. Once we go into Beta we will be increasing it's price accordingly to the content that has been put into the game.
We would also like to take this time to thank our Patreons for supporting us, you have directly helped bring out this update and we really appreciate it. If you would like to support us on Patreon you can do so on the following link.

Internal Beta Test and Glider movement rework
Good day!
We recently ran an internal beta test on the multiplayer.The purpose of the beta stress the load onto the server with the new open world multiplayer map. This test ran smoothly with 6 players, highlighted some minor issues and gathered some good feedback from those involved.
We plan to have more, larger scale test soon where we will involve the community on specific days, more information regarding this will be posted in the Spiders Wars steam group.

The Glider class has also received a update to its movement system as we thought it was too powerful compared to the other classes. This was also done to bring the gliders movement mechanics more in line with its name as previously it was more of a flyer than a glider. The Glider is still remains one of the most effective classes when it comes to mobility. We have also updated the particles to the gliders thrust and boost particles along with some other spider abilities.
We hope to see you in the upcoming beta test and appreciate any feedback you have for us.
Have a great weekend,
