LAN multiplayer???

Castellum Umbra
A downloadable game

I am slowly chipping away at the monumental task of implementing multiplayer into my games.


In the past I have been able to get two computers to connect over the internet and play a game. But it was awful and laggy. So I'm taking a step back and focusing on LAN multiplayer first so I can master some of the fundamentals. 


This build of the game is experimental but fully playable. I am using this game as my test ground for trying multiplayer mechanics and to practice network coding. 

You can still play the original version though.


Setting up a LAN connection is easy. You can either have two computers connected to the same WIFI, or you can link them with an Ethernet cable. If you use an ethernet cable you might have to go into your computers settings to set up the connection.
