Version 1.4.0-1.4.1!

PROGRESS!!!

Okay, long story short, we have multiplayer now. I took a couple of tries to debug it, but I know full well it isn't perfect yet

But.

It's ready.

Call up a friend, say you want to show them a cool game, and send them a join code! Or, join the Lightning Creations Discord and ask some people in the #hopdot channel if they'd like a match!

If you run into issues, leave a comment on this devlog or an issue on the GitHub repository (for the client or server), and I'll get to it as soon as I can. I already have a few known-bugs to work out, but I think it's probably plenty stable enough to use for casual play.

Some other new features:

• Shadows work on the web now! I made a mistake with how I configured the lighting that made it too complex to process in WebGL. That's fixed now!
• There's a new game HUD, and with it...
• THERE'S A WORKING PAUSE MENU!!! It's actually existed the whole time, but now there's a button for it! Hooray!

And as I mentioned in the previous devlog, it would help a lot if some small percentage of you all playing the game threw a bit of change in my direction. I'm still presently developing this game for free, and I promise that it will remain free and open source, forever, but it does take a significant amount of time to work on new features and squash all of the resulting bugs. Now that there exists an online system for this game, I am getting close to being able to say "if you chip in $2, you'll get early access to features!" but I'm not quite there for this patch... again, I barely have enough time to get all of the base features done as it is.

Anyway, enough rambling. TL;DR: if you like the game, and you're able and willing to do so, please consider tossing a dollar or two in my direction :D

That's all for this devlog; have a great day, and I'll see you in the comments!
