Updates - Posted on: 5/12/2016   [Friction]



The multiplayer aspects have been very challenging to setup. I'm not certain the Unity5 networking components are even suitable for the fast-paced nature of this game. If not, I'll look into other options. For now, I've at least made some decent progress on some of the important features...

- Host or connect to game over LAN.
- Player spawning and despawning.
- Controls for movement and combat.
- Network variables, like "health" and "deaths".
- Visual indicators for players, weapons, etc.
The next step is to add the weapons and fx. Then more networking stuff, like chat, match-making, etc.
