Ah I see, well did you at least get a chance to try it out? By the way folks, build 5 should be ready tomorrow (later today). I've fixed alot of issues but fell short 1 and I can't keep my eyes open much longer.

Build 5 is now ready, there is no patch available for this version because a full install is required. A large quantity of issues were resolved in this build along with a few new additions. A few more updates and I believe it could be ready to go gold.

So I went to go play this game an while searching for a game the console brought this up:




Although I did host my own game and join it so I could mess around and I will say it is pretty awesome.

Good job

Hey thanks for the feedback guys.

@roka - How many people were in there when you tried joining and they couldn't see you?

@hockeykid - The master server should be online, if possible wait a min and try again to see if that resolves your issue.

@Micheal P - I am using your very own Darknet.

Wow. This is AMAZING!

Could you possible put up a server today, so I could play this?
I can't host a game and play one, my comp's too slow.
but even without playing, just the menu looks great, everything is pretty polished, I bet with a few more finishing touches you could sell this.

@thenerd - Thanks for the kind words

The master server is back up and I am hosting a server people can join. I was just doing a little work on the code. Build 6 should be available tomorrow, it should resolve alot more of the few issues that are left.

@General Jackson - Were you experiencing any problems aside from being unable to forward those ports?

@thenerd - The master server should be up, the server I was hosting is not up at the moment as I'm doing some code updates. I am using DarkNet.

Good game! Connecting to the online game was pretty painless. I think it was Mr2Fa$t who had to point out to me that you had to press ESC to join in. It's an impressive and well made game. Nice creepy christmas music. Loads of weapons, different looks for your main guy. In that respect it beats COD, where you always have to play as the same boring dude.

My connection appeared to be pretty laggy. I imagine that's down to my PC. I don't usually play multiplayer on PC.

I think it would be cool to have WASD as well as arrow keys, but now that i say that, maybe it's in the options.

I tried picking the guy with the snow camo, but still got shot way more than i shot other people. Need practice i guess.

Haven't figured out how to use the jetpack or do the special moves yet. Jetpack is a genius idea BTW.

@Dr Tank - Thanks for the feedback. I will be trying to work on performance issues for build 6.

Quote: "My connection appeared to be pretty laggy. I imagine that's down to my PC. I don't usually play multiplayer on PC."


I am hoping to have the game support pretty low hardware specs. So I will be tweaking a few things here and there. What system are you running?


Quote: "I think it would be cool to have WASD as well as arrow keys, but now that i say that, maybe it's in the options."


WASD can be set in the options>controls screen.


I will be making a form of game manual to help explain a few things soon. The master server will be down for a bit as I will be working on build 6.


Thanks

Hey folks just released build 6, tons of fixes. It should run alot better with more people. Be sure to download the FULL install if you are running a build prior to 5.

Xfire now supports Acrogorpon, so if you use xfire be sure to add it to your list (Read above for more info). The master server should be up and running. If you guys run into any problems let me know.

Hey folks, It seems like I am still having issues with the network code. The pings soar really high at times thus causing major delay. It seems like it may work fine with 2 people but once a third joins the pings really seem to get close to 999. I will be working on this issue as its one of the few issues remaining to fix. If you would like to check the game out, it is recommended to try it with 2 people for now. I will keep you guys posted.

@Razerx theres been a few people playing lately, usually around 6-8pm eastern. I'm sure once I fix these issues there could be more regularly playing.

Alright folks build 7 is now available, the ping issue seems to be fixed and the game is running better than ever. You can give it a shot with more than 2 people now. Be sure to let me know how it runs and if possible what systems you folks are testing it with.

I will be working on improving the games performance and fixing other minor issues in the next build.


http://www.ARHgames.com is up and running but is still undergoing some changes. So be sure to keep an eye on it.


@General Jackson - Its roughly 30k lines of code

DL187,

I've been secretly keeping my eye on this one. From the Youtube Vids, the game play looks solid, and the super jump mechanic is very cool. What language are you developing with? Keep up the awesome job!

I'll be checking for servers now and then in between doing other stuff for the next few hours, if I see a server I'll join.

EDIT:
Except the master server seems to be down now: "Error communicating with the master server"

@thenerd - Did you by any chance try to reconnect? I was hosting a server a moment ago but had to restart it which would of caused your connection established message with no further progress.

Hey folks, I have just released Build 8. I did not get a chance to work on improving the games performance as I mainly updated the game to remove some of the bugs that were preventing uninterrupted gameplay. I have also finished an online manual that is viewable on my website. It has a great deal of information to help you get started.

The master server is usually up unless I am working on a new patch or I lose connectivity. If anyone is interested in checking the game out that has not been able to with people we can arrange a time to meet up. Just let me know. Anyways enjoy the update.

@thenerd - It should be up, if you are always seeing it as offline then you may be one of the few "I know of one other" people that seem to have a problem making any sort of connection. Have you ever been able to connect to the master server? If not then I am not really sure what the cause of this is. The other person that had problems had an ADSL modem with a built in router, I am not sure if that had anything to do with it but its the only thing that I can go by at the time.

Build 9 should be available tomorrow. It runs much faster than the previous build 8. I will be working on the official demo in the comming days since build 9 is getting to be pretty stable. The master server will be up and down several times throughout the comming day.

@thenerd - It should be fine, if this is still causing issues you may want to check if you have it blocked by your firewall accidently.

@Everyone - Remember folks, if the master server is down, you can still connect to a host using the console "connect IP"

Ok folks, build 9 is available for download. This is another Full update only. This build has improved performance and fixes a series of other issues including the map hole that was in the previous builds. This will likely be one of the final beta builds as I will begin working on the official demo soon. Keep in mind this build is by no means perfect but it is very stable and playable. Let me know if you guys run into any problems.

Hey folks, the official demo is almost complete. I've posted up a couple of screen shots showing off some of the new look. I will try to grab some new video footage soon. The master server will be offline until the demo is completed. You can always connect Via LAN or directly with the hosts ip in the console.
