One problem with your release strategy is that although you do fix bugs, the lack of major releases is detrimental to keeping the audience playing as a lot of them simply stop playing when there are no major releases coming up. Crypt of the Necrodancer has the same problem. Speak for yourself. I'm ...

They don't say it, but the modules reduce pollution by the same factor as power usage. Just try putting an effectivity module in, and you'll see the pollution rate reduce. Cool I'll try that, thanks :) Anyway, back to biters. It seems like they aren't very intelligent, even as a collective, because...

Right now we only have one player starting the game and others joining at any time.

You rock! Awesome

I would appreciate a pollution reduction module That's what the effectivity module does. I fill everything with them and use solar power, and have basically no pollution. The biters never bother me! Maybe I'm confusing something but doesn't effectivity modules say "reduction in power usage&quo...

Thanks for pointing out those mods, they are kind of extreme but should be included in the vanilla version of the game :) Installing mods can propose another problem for people whom are not very tech-savvy. Picking different color combinations, or a different kind of line drawing, solid, dashed, dot...

Thanks for the insight. Now I've got a much clearer picture of your approach. Only the regular synchronization heartbeats (couple of bytes) and player inputs (only when player does something) will be transmitted over the network. The estimate is that this will add up to couple of kilobytes per secon...

It would be nice to have a color blind mode so that these people could tell red from green wires and the likes and also enjoy this awesome game.

They look like roaches to me. As hard as the blue ones die looks like they've got close to 20 hearts, too. But what does it matter. I don't want to kill them whatever they might resemble. Since they attack the pollution sources I can't really blame them. Who would like some entity landing on your pl...

When I learned about this game it said "single-player" then I read about multiplayer in the FAQ and I was all excited. However after I learned about the decision for a peer-to-peer setup my hopes of being able to play it in multiplayer tend to go against zero. I just can't see it working i...
