Hey Beekeepers!
Finally I can do a build without having to triple/quadruple check everything multiple times to make sure I don't ruin the spoiler of us adding multiplayer steamfacepalm
This update has a bunch of fixes for localisation stuff, a few little tweaks, and most importantly Multiplayer turned on!!!
To access Multiplayer simply click the button on the Home screen where you'll be able to either "Host" or "Join". Hosting gives you a code and lets you pick the world you want to host (existing or new). To join your friends game just enter the host code. Player progress is seperate, and when you join a friends world you get made a seperate player. If you need to reset your player progress at anytime you can do it from the Join screen.
Multiplayer pretty much functions as you'd expect, you can interact with things together, use the same menus/machines, throw cute bees you find at each other etc. To pass time only one of you needs to be in bed or on a bench.
There will be a Playtest soon so a bunch more people will be able to join MP (details on that soon) - this will be mainly so I can test server stability at larger scale.
If you come across any bugs, as always let us know, and enjoy!! <3

About Us
APICO is being created by two brothers, Elliott & Jamie, inspired by their love of old Minecraft mods, casual, and crafting games. They wanted to make something relaxing, intriguing, and semi-educational (just don't think about the Water Bees). Elliott builds nice things and Jamie makes sure he breaks them.
Save The Bees
Bees are integral to our gameplay, as they are to our real-world ecosystem. We want to promote bee conservation and will be donating a portion of sales towards national and international beekeeping charities.
