Current Main Rumble Channel link: https://rumble.com/user/Lethn
Rumble is now my primary content farm, I no longer use Odysee.
I've been reminded by people my links and everything are horribly out of date for my main sticky thread. Hope this helps people keep track of what's going on, this should be a lot neater now. I think I will use the comments page to post new videos and I will use this main thread with the development roadmap list and any relevant major release links like the game itself.
When I edit the main post next I will also remember to post the date so that people know exactly when this was last done at a glance.

Linux support will be easy in Godot, as for offline multiplayer I'll poke around about that. LAN is totally doable, a lot of devs don't even bother these days because they're all about the multiplayer micro-transactions, you can't monetise LAN the same way.
honestly...selling the LAN as a dlc could be a way to go for that kinda dev...it oughta be a standard feature, but offering it as a paid add-on would be something at least...
No way and no need lol.
agreed, but for the cforporate devs who wanna monetize everygoddamnthing...I could see it as a reasonable compromise...
You know it's bad when the indie dev is more adamant about not monetising everything unnecessarily than the gamer, you've been gaslit by companies over that for way too long. LAN believe it or not is simpler to implement than multiplayer over servers because you don't have to worry about ping and network synchronisation half as much. Devs don't do LAN as much anymore because they can't put tons of micro-transactions in that and force you to connect to a central server just to play.
