Two weeks ago we set out for a challenge, which was to implement online multiplayer into Action Henk before the next update. After two very hectic weeks, we’re proud to announce that we managed to do it. Everyone can now try out the first version of Action Henk’s multiplayer!
Because this is still an early version, the servers will only be online every Thursday and Saturday from 18:00 till 02:00 CET (11am-7pm PDT). This is to make sure that we can oversee the playtests, and keep a close eye to make sure everything functions properly. There is a possibility that we will be doing extra playtests, so make sure you join the Official Steam group to be kept up to date on any changes!
Another important announcement we need to make is that the next update will not be in two weeks. This is because we have found out that pushing out an update every two weeks doesn't give us the time to polish new features as much as we would like to. Because of all this, we will be aiming to release the next update at the end of September. This will allow us to stay focused for longer, and give you more, higher quality content at once! The bi-weekly updates basically put us in a constant state of crunch time, which our bodies can only cope with for so long. ;)
As usual, we will keep everyone up to date on our Facebook and Twitter. Be sure to like/follow us there if you want to be in on some sneak peeks!
We hope you enjoy the first multiplayer version, and stay tuned for more cool multiplayer stuff we have planned!
Features
- First version of multiplayer! A level is played for a couple of minutes, and within this time you can play and retry as often as you like, its about who can set the best score during this time. If you win you get points, and the more players you beat, the more points you get. These global multiplayer points will be showcased on a global multiplayer leaderboard.
