Version 1.5.1b update


A new quality of life update for the beta online features released in the last update. I did a bit more testing and realised that while the old lobby room search system was functional, it wasn't very user friendly, so I've come out of hiding to make some improvements.

  • Online
    • Previously there was a "Host" and "Join" button, though it seems pretty straightforward, when you're trying to co-ordinate with a friend it can make things a little awkward, the two buttons have been fused and it's just a join button now which can do both depending on whatever is necessary
    • There is now a character limit to the room sizes, it's now 10 characters so you don't go off the edge with the names
    • Room selection is now a thing, as mentioned in the first point, "Host" and "Join" required some co-ordination between 2 people, Fusing them made things a little easier, but now there's also just an automatically updating listed of currently hosted rooms for you to click and join into so you don't have to type the name
  • Settings
    • There are now 2 Pages of settings, the online features have been split off into a second page, the two arrows in the top right will allow you to navigate the pages.

There's a few things to note though.

  • Online doesn't work across regions yet, I'll have to get to that in the next version, I'm still a little new to this so bear with me.
  • Apparently sometimes some actions won't always send across to the other player. I have no idea what causes this though but hopefully it's fairly rare.
  • I have no idea how good the auto updating room list is, if something seems inaccurate, best thing to do is just swap to local and then swap back to online so you can reconnect, that always seems to fix the list for me when things aren't going well, but hopefully that shouldn't happen now
