I've been quietly working away on a giant new feature. Although it's not quite ready to play yet, I'm excited to say that Online Multiplayer is coming to Mini Matches! There's no release date yet. I'm still working hard on it, a programming task that turned out to be exactly as difficult as everyone says it is. At the moment, most of the connectivity (starting matches, joining other people's matches, etc) is nearly ready for testing. I've started work rolling out networking across multiple game modes, and integrating it with the different characters.
While doing this, I've been bringing characters up to date with the new style. In this screenshot you can see the new "freeze" effect for Medusa. I'm using the same effect for Professor North's magnet ability, and it really helps readability during chaotic games.
I'm also continuing work on the game modes, bringing them up to date with the new style and integrating them with networking at the same time. When I start the first networking tests, it should be with a larger roster of characters and levels than what's currently available.
I don't have an date yet for the launch of multiplayer, it's still a ways out, but keep your eyes peeled here or join the newsletter to be reminded when it's available! Happy Matches, Philip
