Screencheat Anniversary Update
We launched Screencheat a year ago and what better way to celebrate than with another major update including some of the dream features on our wishlist!
Headlining this update is the localisation of the game into six languages. Now you can cheat in French, German, Spanish, Russian, Dutch or Portuguese as well as English.
We’ve also added AI bots into Screencheat. This will give you someone to play against while you wait for your friends to come online and to allow small playgroups to experience larger games. And for experienced Screencheaters, you’ll be able to find a serious challenge with the Dreamcrusher AI difficulty. The AI are able to be mixed in with online and local players and will be replaced when players join mid game. We hope you enjoy them!
Rounding out the major additions are LAN play for all you competitive players out there and a new map, bringing the total to eleven. Museum II brings some of the familiar design elements from the original Museum across whilst giving it a more vertical and competitive feel to make the map great for new players as well as screencheating veterans.
We can’t quite believe how fast this year has gone and how far the game has come from the initial version we launched.
