In a brief chat following, Vlambeer's Rami Ismail voiced largely-reasonable concerns about whether the approaches used would be viable for NT.Īt the time I didn't feel like arguing about the fact that lack of online multiplayer means that many people won't get to play the game in coop at all, so I did not continue the conversation. WKT being well-received and working nicely for vast majority of players, numerous people suggested that Vlambeer should hire me to do online multiplayer for the actual game. This resulted in Super Crate Box Together and Wasteland Kings Together mods. Overwhelmed by curiosity, I've decided to get the bundle and mess with coop games included for a little. Last autumn, Wasteland Kings' (jam version of Nuclear Throne) source code became available through GameMaker-themed Humble Bundle deal together with a bunch of other nice games.

I've sunk well over a hundred hours into the game over the course of it's development, watched the development closely, and was interested in the game's cooperative mode since it's introduction. Needless to say, I do like Nuclear Throne a lot. Slightly underestimate amount of effort required to accomplish the goal.

Occasional crashes during an intro to an important boss fight? Also fixed. While fixing coop-related bugs is an obvious choice given the scope of the mod, I didn't stick to just that, and also fixed a handful of other issues with the game.

This mod changes that, fixing pretty much every known issue, and giving coop some much-needed polish. Nuclear Throne never was a coop-centric game, and thus coop mode didn't receive enough attention, remaining ridden with various small bugs. Or even attempt to correct them by dropping into the game at any point of a replay. That means invitations, public game list, and no port forwarding.Įasily record and review your runs to learn from mistakes.

Adds Steam-based online multiplayer support to the game.

And not 'just' a mod, but quite an impressing one: Perhaps you've already heard that I've been recently developing a mod for the current version of Nuclear Throne.
