We’re getting close to a co-op Warped Universe now. Very close. We’ve been head down for a few months now working 7 days a week, nonstop. 5+ builds a day getting through tests, 16 hours a day. It’s a complete rewrite of the game but oh so worth it. Our game has 4 modes, real-time ground and space flight, and turn-based ground and space flight. Implementing co-op into the game is like doing it for 4 games. We’ve basically rewritten the entire game 4 times to cover each mode. And because of that we have to update and fix all modes in singleplayer too because when you update one side, naturally the other side breaks and needs attention. So it’s like 8 games being updated at once. We chose hard mode in making a game. All modes are testing solid except for co-op turn-based ground, as it’s the last one to be updated. And it’s a very tough one but we are almost there. There is a reason there aren’t many turn-based co-op games. It has to be perfectly in sync. All the time. Every move, every decision, all the math and turns. One out of sync glitch and the whole mission is thrown out for all in the game. The great thing is realtime ground and space are solid and all major bugs squashed (there will still be minor ones, it’s early access, but it’s working). And same with turn-based space. Turn-based ground is the last of major updates and we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now. Co-op is really fun. I expect a surge of players once this is out. Time for more coffee.
