Dev-astation Fridays

[Firgof]

Each week on Friday we'll be hosting a match of Star Ruler 2. It'll be us 3 devs and whoever comes into the IRC and wants to join us. The game will be passworded once teams and players are decided. We expect each match to run a couple of hours.

If you're available and interested in participating in this week's Dev-astation Friday feel free to post in this thread. Questions about the theme/style and suggestions of rules/mods to use are also welcome.

How did the match go?

[Thy Reaper]

It went quite well, you can watch it here: (In two parts due to a connection loss on the host):

It did encounter performance issues late game, with the scale of everything going on and needing to also encode and upload the stream, the host was lagging quite badly. Despite that, It remained stable and playable for all clients throughout.

Haha thanks for the link. Looks really fun and it's nice to hear you guys chatting with each other. Had a few laughs here and there, especially at the marketing quip. Hope I can get it on the next match!
