The multiplayer mode for registered users supports exchanging text messages in the lobby and in game. Below is a screenshot of how this looks like in the lobby:
One question about the guest-mode you have in mind: Does it support exchanging text messages between players?
I had a look at the link to Kongregate. I do not have the software installed here they ask for on the Kongregate page, so I was not able to see any multiplayer functionality.
Yes! The lobby now is open for guests. Perfect!
Kongregate game is using flash, so probably it is the reason.
I have registered there and I would like to set my nickname, but I can't (is there any possibility?). Also link to the player is somehow broken (http://document.drtsgame.com/player/61).
I have looked into leaderboard. I can see there very old games (2 years old?) marked as "recent ones". So my question is: is there anyone playing the game? Or maybe I can find you, distilledgames, there one day? :)
Thank you kartezjusz2009, for taking the time to test again.
Yes it is possible to set your nickname: By clicking on the pen icon left of the textbox where you can enter chat messages. When you click on the pen icon, a new input box appears in which you can enter your nickname.
Now that you mention it, I think this needs to be more obvious. I added a backlog item to add a tooltip to this button to clarify its function.
Thank you for drawing attention to the broken player profile links. I added fixing this to the plan for the next iteration.
I am currently working on migrating the lobby, online games, leaderboard and player profiles to a new platform. Because of this infrastructure change, I have to finish some other tasks before I get to fix these issues, but I guess the new update with those fixes will be available in December. I will make sure to post a new devlog entry here on itch.io then.
So my question is: is there anyone playing the game? Or maybe I can find you, distilledgames, there one day? :)
Sure, I would be happy to meet for a match. When do you have time? If I see correctly, you posted between 12 and 15 UTC in your last posts. I am usually at work this time of the day from MO-FR but I could come online this time on a weekend.
I use CET time. Probably the same as you. I can be available around 8 PM for example.
