Multiplayer Success

Two ships, controlled over the internet.
Huzzar, the first multiplayer build worked.

That is once I got my firewall working with it. The end result was Tyranni and I were able to connect and control our own ships. It was rough and has some issues with smooth updates but I am very happy with the first results.

My next version will be a multiplayer version of the Manor. This has animation to deal with as well which will be interesting.

On a side note, I have re-written the controls for ATSB to return to the original vision of a top down game. I now have everything working how I want with the controls. The camera movement is now what I want with the camera tracking ahead depending on speed. So the faster you go the more you can see ahead of you.

The full 3D version was interesting but I think its too complex for what I am trying to do. I want easy controls so you can concentrate on the more tactical side of the game anyway, back to my other secert project.
