Hello everyone!

I've been working on remaking the old multiplayer prototype code and now it's finally ready for public! I am still fixing bugs so please let me know if you find any! We're also releasing single-player mode but with Halloween-related content! I highly suggest you play a single-player round or two before jumping into multiplayer.

Multiplayer

Right now, we support two types of multiplayer. Steam friends-based and local network multiplayer with one game mode: 1vs1. You both get a knife (unbreakable) and have to find and kill each other within a time limit. You can hide among the people and kill your target in creative ways. The first one to reach a score of 5 wins the game. Before you start, one player has to start a lobby.

How to start a Lobby?

[olist]

Select "Play Multiplayer" in the demo start computer

Then press the Host Game button (If you're playing on your local network, toggle "Use Local Network")

Optional: Setup game parameters to your liking

Wait for the other person to join

When they join and the "Start Game" button shows up, press it to start the game [/olist]

How to Join?

[olist]

Select "Play Multiplayer" in the demo start computer

Then write the steam name of your friend to the area right of the Join button

Press "Join" then wait to join the game

If you're playing on your local network, toggle "Use Local Network" and write the IP address of the host computer

If nothing happens, it means something went wrong. You might be writing the name of your friend wrong or they might be offline

If you successfully join the lobby, you should see some settings along with the text "Waiting for host"

Wait for the host to start the game [/olist]
You both start with a knife that you can stab with and start with a random tool (Smoke bomb or trap). Press Space to use your tool

Future of Multiplayer

We have these features ready:

• Basic gameplay loop (Find & kill the clone among the crowd)
• Environmental Kills
• Knife Weapon

Right now it's bare bones but the gameplay is there. It's very hard to keep both singleplayer and multiplayer up to date with each other. Multiplayer is not quite at the level of complexity of singleplayer but we'll get there! We're currently working to implement these new features:

• Multiple Weapons with weapon cases
• Officers (Blue guys who get mad when you draw your weapon)
• New & improved multiplayer result screen
• Steam invite to game functionality
• NPC talk synchronizations
• New tools like shape-shifting

Halloween Stuff

These are the things that will be available on Halloween from now on. You can of course disable/enable this anytime. I was mostly working on the multiplayer so there aren't many updates on the singleplayer gameplay except these new Halloween weapons.
