Hi everyone, Today we're releasing an update that I didn't think we'd be ever be able to do - local multiplayer! Play together on one computer (or over the internet using Steam Remote Play Together), with up to 3 total players. And if multiplayer isn't your thing, there's something for you as well - we've added a few new Consumable items, and 5 new challenges to go with them. We've also added a new option to the Settings menu to change the transparency of player projectiles. Increase the transparency to reduce screen clutter and increase the visibility of the Orc, perfect for massive +projectile size runs. A few notes on how multiplayer works:
- Chests rewards are not shared by players - first to touch the chest gets it!
- Revives are shared across all players. If any player dies without a revive left, that's it - game over.
- Players share a single attribute list. Pick up Fury for 10% damage and it will apply to all players! Another player can also get Fury for 10% more. However, to evolve an item, you need to own the associated passive yourself. You can't rely on your teammates having it.
- You're able to play over the internet using Remote Play Together. However, in my testing I found a couple issues with it: Client sessions do not get the game sounds, only the host does. And Macs do not seem to be able to host the game, but they can play as a client. If anyone figures out a way to fix any of these issues, please let me know! Also note, only 1 player can use a keyboard, the rest need controllers.
- Added 3 more colors for the Orc. Choose to play as the base Green, or play as Orange, Blue, or Purple. Each player needs to play as a unique color.
- When starting a new run from the main menu, the input device you use to hit the 'Survive' button gets assigned as the active device to control Player 1. Then, any other devices can hit Start/A/Space/Enter to begin going through the New Player Join Flow. From this flow, select your Player Color, your Class, and your hat, which will then put your new Orc in the arena. Up to 2 players can join Player 1 for the run.
- All players need to select a starting weapon from the weapon pillars. When the last one is picked, the run will begin. Due to how the weapon starting pillars work, starting weapons are limited to the class selected by P1. These are still usable just fine by other player classes, and can be evolved as normal. However, I would advise to not pick the Blink weapon if you're not the Rogue - you can't get any benefit out of it, since you don't have the ability to teleport! If you are a class without mana that picks a Mage weapon, no need to worry about your mana - the weapon will always be treated as empowered.
- XP is partially split between all players. The player that picks up the experience gets half the XP, then the remaining half is split between ALL players. For example, with 2 players, P1 picks up 10xp - P1 will get 5xp (half), then the other 5xp is split between both P1 and P2, with P1 receiving a total of 7.5xp and P2 receiving 2.5xp.
- Updated the inventory and XP displays to work for 1 to 3 players.
- Update the level up, chest screens, and infusion screens to reflect the colors of the player that received it.
- Update the camera to follow an average of all player positions.
- Prevent players from moving outside the bounds of the camera.
- Adjust enemy AI logic to chase/attack the nearest player.
- Update the Results end screen to display damage amounts for each player.
- Golden Axe: This is a very strong consumable, that will rain down golden axes around the player that picked it up, until 100 axes have been thrown. Axes deal 9999 damage to enemies, but deal reduced damage to bosses.
- Coin Pouch: This pouch awards gold, then increases the amount it rewards for the rest of the run. Pick up the first one for 20 gold, then 40, then 60, etc.
- Super Juice: An even stronger version of the Juice. This has a chance to drop instead of the Juice after completing the related challenge.
- Pac It Up: Complete by eating 100 enemies in a single Mysterious Pellet. Once completed, Mimic mode will restore health to the player when they eat enemies.
- Death From Above: Deal over 1,000,000 damage with a single Golden Axe. This does count overkill damage, so is very doable, despite the intimidating large number. Once completed, it doubles the rate at which Golden Axes can spawn.
- Juiceaholic: Drink a Juice while already under the effect of Juice. Unlocks Super Juice, an improved version of the Juice.
- Grand Larceny: Earn 200+ gold from a single Coin Pouch. Once completed, the rate of growth of Coin Pouches is increased by 50%.
- Haberdashery: Collect 50 or more hats. Unlocks my new favorite hat - the totally ridiculous hat of hats!
- Added a new option to the Settings menu to change the transparency of player projectiles. Change the amount of transparency to adjust the visibility of all player projectiles. This is meant as an option to make it easier to keep track of the Orc in the late game.
- Fixed an issue that would prevent treasure maps from spawning sometimes at the start of new runs.
- Adjusted the object collision size of the Mimic, to prevent the player from getting stuck after transforming into the mimic in tight places.
- Fix issue where the Vortex orb would not get thrown correctly when spawning out of breakables.
- Fix issue with Cannonball 'Fast & Ferrous' mod that was causing cannonballs to always break instantly when hitting the borders of the screen.
