Hi all, msb here!
It's here! It's unfinished! It's probably a /little/ broken. (I've tried my best)
I've been crunching for a few months on the design of a working multiplayer system, and the beginnings of it are finally something I'm comfortable showing people. I've learned so much from the process, and I'm hoping the results are enjoyable for everyone.
Beta?
My ability to test the system is super duper limited (a few matches here and there- seeing what breaks). Because of that, I know for fact that this game will error out in some unexpected ways once people get their hands on it. Help me break the game!
Steam users - this content is on a public beta branch (in the game properties). Instructions are on Discord.
Discord?
To play the multiplayer beta, please head over to the FLAMBERGE Discord:
https://discord.gg/Vb9nQAH
It's new and shiny, and all relevant announcements/instructions are there.
The instructions for the beta are under the Multiplayer Beta "how-to" channel.
FLAMBERGE is on multiple storefronts and in multiple communities, so I'm hoping to pull together a 'hub' for information and feedback. Super sorry if it's inconvenient for anyone. Feel free to email me as usual! (contact@hydezeke.com) I love emails.
It broke when I looked at it funny?
If the multiplayer bugs out or breaks, please message me! (Email/Discord/Twitter maybe) I'll be especially active online during the coming week, so please don't hesitate to beam me any errors you run into.
_______?
Email or message me on the new Discord channel if you've got comments/concerns or are just generally confused.
Thanks for all the patience as usual!

Linux is not in the OS list.
Flamberge is a "simultaneous turn-based tactics RPG". Players plan out multiple movements and attacks at once, and the turn is resolved at the same time as the enemy. The player must anticipate enemy actions in order to win.
At heart, though, Flamberge is mostly an RPG. Players will control many different characters with different abilities and strengths, and level those characters to add new traits and abilities.
