Hey Guys!

Sorry its been a minute (about a year) since the last update! I've been working hard on getting more things with Multiplayer working. I also started a new job at Red Storm Entertainment!

I've been hard at work improving the foundation of The Desert's Rose and making it a multiplayer game. Part of the reason it has taken so long since the last update is because I've been working on some of the more tricky parts of multiplayer such as the Inventory.

Player inventory now works in multiplayer! This took a lot of work because when you are making something for multiplayer, you have to specify what you want "Replicated" to the clients. For an inventory, you only want some things replicated to clients such as the item in the world. But for some things, you don't want replicated such as the inventory icons for the individual player. The good news is, its working! And this is a big step forward!

As I improve the foundation of the game, I can then move onto more new content and story driven gameplay which I think we are all looking forward too :D

Thanks again guys! Have a great New Year!

Hey Everyone!

I hope you had a great summer! Since we last talked, I've been working on multiplayer for the game. Thee progress is actually going good, I've been able to join the game and interaction seems to be working. Currently, the multiplayer implementation is still in progress so its not really ready yet but you will see its about 75%-80% there. Once I have multiplayer working over Local Area Network (LAN), I will then implement Steam and other platforms so the multiplayer will work using those applications and it wont be restricted to just the local network.

Here is an official list of what is in the update:

• Implementing Multiplayer/Replication (Still in progress)
  
• Fixed return button from multiplayer on main menu.
  
• Fixed left hand menu interaction component to work with main menu.
  
• Made Steel Drums non-breakable.
  
• Fixed various placement of items in Level 1.
  
• Changed lighting for Level 1.
  
• Created moveable candle light and using baked light for wall sconces.
  
• Fixed issue with spawning into Level 1 causing items to break.
  
• Refactored Player Character class with the Player Hand implementations.
  
• Made various items non-breakable (Dice, kitchen utensils, logic toy)
  
• Fixed doors crashing in multiplayer.
  
• Fixed Cafe Table (Round wood table)
  
• Fixed issue with wood boxes flickering in multiplayer.

Stay tuned for more updates! <3
