#co-op multiplayer

Good day gamers! If you’re in the gaming sphere in any way, you probably heard about Arc Raiders at some point. It has been the talk of the town for a while now and it still continues to hold consistent high player counts on Steam and consoles. But what brings me to talk about it today is how it managed to become one of my main games and pull me away from other shooters like COD and…

Happy Wednesday Gamers! By now I’m sure its no surprise that Palworld has taken the gaming world by storm since its launch on January 19th this year. The creature collecting / open world crafting game really seems to have filled a void for players on PC. Even though the game is in early access right now, it still managed to reach record numbers on day one. At the time of this post, the current…

Unrailed! co-op multiplayer releases version 1.0 in Linux gaming, Mac and Windows PC with a sale. Thanks to Daedalic Entertainment and developer Indoor Astronaut. Who are eager to announce the official on Humble Store and on sale via Steam. The co-op hit Unrailed! releases version 1.0. So now players can dive into the full game. After one year of Early Access, the game now features new biomes, wagons, game modes and more. Get a glimpse of Unrailed!’s chaotic railroad madness. The new release trailer shows off quite a bit.

Unrailed! - Out Now on PC and Consoles

From the Steam announcement:

...just a quick comment about the new difficulties. The kids setting allows you, among other tweaks, to restart at every station. The extreme setting on the other hand takes things to the next level. And should be a challenge even for experienced Unrailed! players. Also, we're not going to spoil the part about the black silhouette, you'll have to figure out that one by yourself by playing the game 😬.

The "black silhouette" has not been covered yet in my own gameplay. But there are certainly some challening biomes. The Winter one really hinders your movement. Forcing players to be more economic as you work together. Even moreso playing the game with two players. Linux gaming using the Robot AI, well that's a bit more challenging. Since you really have to monitor what resources the robot is collecting. Then adjust your gameplay to keep creating more track.

The Game:

Unrailed! is a true test of your friendships. Since you have to work together in local or online multiplayer. Doing so with up to four players to guide your train. Working through dangerous, procedurally generated terrain filled with obstacles. And also deal with local wildlife in order to reach the safety of the next station. Communication and cooperation are key to ensure you always have enough resources. Likewise, you have to work to build new tracks. And of course stop your train from overheating. Fending off animals pestering you. Without quick decision making and strategic planning your train will derail fast. This definitely makes the game more challenging. Whether you play the endless, team or quick mode. As a result, you have to build the longest track ever. Or so it seems. Unrailed! now features a whole new Biome and additional wagons. The Mars biome is the most challenging so far. Since it boasts a hazardous environment with a mysterious entity. This annoyance blocks your path and shoots at your train. Therefore, make note, you’ll have no water at all. While you make good use of your energy shields and your ability to fly through space. So keep an eye on your health in that biome. You can only be outside of the energy shield for so long. Above all, avoid a space transport crash.

Unrailed! features:

An intense and chaotic railroad construction experience

Online and local couch co-op multiplayer

Procedurally generated worlds with different difficulty levels

Dynamic weather system & day and night cycle

Game modes: Endless, Quick (up to 4 players) and Versus (2 vs 2 players)

A bunch of upgradable wagons (10+) to modify your train in Endless mode

Blocky to the core

Co-op multiplayer is announced for Volcanoids game on both Linux and Windows PC. Thanks to recent details from developer Volcanoid. Currently available on Steam. Co-op multiplayer is coming to the first-person, base building survival game Volcanoids. So that players will be able to work together. Explore a volcanic island and operating giant drills. While working through enduring eruptions triggered by mechanical beings. This news comes alongside plans for additional in-game features. There are also enhancements in the Volanoid team’s latest community update. What's Coming for Volcanoids

Co-op Multiplayer

Many new features and devices are being added. While adding support for the drillship "crew life". Co-op in Volcanoids will be about operating the drillship. And also managing tasks together as a team. One player will be able to drive the ship. While the others set up production stations and spy through the periscope. Creating new items before the ship hits the surface. Friends caught off guard by the eruption or a group of COGs will lose their loot. But can quickly re-join the crew by respawning directly in the drillship. Bunk Beds To support the idea of group progress in Volcanoids. Players in co-op multiplayer can log off in new bunk beds. Since these work as a safe point. Now, even though you're offline and all your friends are still playing. You can still travel with them since the bed is placed in a mobile base. Once you log in again, you will be back with your crew right away. Even if they progressed to a completely different part of the map.

Volcanoids Blast Shelter Update Trailer (Linux, Windows PC)

Simplified start of the game Based on feedback from the community and content creators. The crafting system has also been reworked. The start of the game now focuses on being more gradual. At least in terms of introducing new devices and systems. Previously, all the different modules, levers and buttons available right from the start. So this can often be overwhelming for many Volcanoids players. From now on, players will start with basic crafting stations. Making Volcanoids similar to other survival games. So you can gradually be introduced to more advanced modules and progress. Especially for the coming co-op multiplayer. While making the first experience for new players way more enjoyable. And as a result, it removes the frustration of having no idea what all the different buttons do. While also stressing out by the upcoming eruption. Some of the new content for Volcanoids is still "work in progress". Atleast when it comes to visuals, and will be until we finish all the technical parts. For now, we are going with the sailor character, which will get improved in upcoming updates.
