Two and a half years ago, the darkness mode was improved [https://www.quarkrobot.com/same-but-different-3/] to support multiple players as the original only works with one player. This effect has worked well since then but recently it was reported that some Ubuntu machines produce corrupted RenderTarget textures. Up until…
Logic bugs and tweaks to make the game match the Original were done this week. The rest of my time was spent working on the reliable UDP client that LAN games will use. Overall, not a massive week, but some nice additions to the game nonetheless. A name in parenthesis…
