Dev Diary 5: Metal and Upcoming Multiplayer feature

It's been a while since the last update! However, I've quietly updated the game since the Demo was released.

Let's explore some of the new features and content that has been added to the game lately.

What the game looks like now

Metal

Since the demo has been released the main focus has been to introduce metal as an important resource.

New technology: Metalworking

This technology will let you construct Furnace and train Swordsman.

Swordsman

You will need to mine metal to train this elite unit.

Furnace

Here you can upgrade weapons and defence for all your units.

Other

Apart from the focus on metal, I've implemented numerous improvements, bug fixes, polish etc.

Examples are grouping units by CTRL+NUMBER, fixing repairing of farms, tweaking the enemy base and difficulty levels, and much more.

Upcoming Multiplayer

The next focus is implementing multiplayer functionality, since this has been much requested by the community.

So far I've implemented the lobby system:

I have a plan for how to implement the rest of the network code, but it's hard to estimate how long it will take.

Discord

The game has an official Discord channel now:
