Hi everyone!
Redmatch 1 has been neglected for a while as I've spent all my time working hard on Redmatch 2. However, I don't want it to just be forgotten. I've had tons of fun playing Redmatch 1 with friends and I don't want that experience to never be possible again.
Since the game is built with Mono, and therefore easily hackable, I won't be able to maintain official servers and prevent hacking. Because of this, I've modified the existing game using some modding tools to allow private server hosting. You can host your own private server (for free) using Photon.
To set up your server and play with friends:
If you want other players to be able to join you, just make sure they have the same App ID in the server.txt file.
There is a server already present in the server.txt file, so if you want you can play on that by default. Be aware that there will probably be hackers there, so just make your own server if you're planning on playing with friends.
I've also removed leaderboard upload support so that they can't be modified. If you were on the leaderboard when the game was active, you'll be there forever!
