Co-op multiplayer added!

Hey Everyone,

 

Here's our first pass at co-op multiplayer implementation, expect bugs!

 

We're really excited to see what you guys think and hear any ideas you have for either additional game modes or additions to the current mode!  - As this is a first iteration we've limited this mode to 2 players but expect to increase this in future patches.

 

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub or send them in to support@endnightgame.com.

Known issues:

 

Saving in a multiplayer game will save over single player save game, allowing you to continue progress but not as a multiplayer game (working on fix for this currently)

 

Destroying partially built items can be glitchy! Try not to destroy structures you haven't placed yourself!
