Idle Tycoon Manufacturing

This small patch removes the Steam achievements that were too difficult to obtain. It is no longer necessary to play 1,000 and 10,000 days in the same save, nor to complete 1,000 and 10,000 deliveries.I have also updated the Discord integration, which should fix the issue where the game was shown as running even though it was properly closed.

I announced it earlier, and now it is finally here: multiplayer has arrived! I honestly could not wait to be done working on it…This update significantly changes the game, so some things may be broken. I did my best to test everything before releasing the multiplayer version, but please do not hesitate to report any issues you encounter on Discord.How to play multiplayerFrom the main menu (as long as you own the game, multiplayer is not available in the demo), click on the “Multiplayer” button located just above the “Play” button.You will then have two options:Host a lobbyJoin a lobbyHosting a gameThe host simply needs to share their code.Warning: this code contains your IP address. Only share it with people you trust.Joining a gameTo join a lobby:Copy the host’s codePaste it into the input fieldClick “Join”The game will attempt to connect you to the host. If the connection is successful:The multiplayer menu will closeThe “Multiplayer” button will become a disconnect buttonYou will see the cursors of other players in the lobbyThe main menu is synchronized so you can get a preview of how it works.I made sure the game runs properly with 4 players, but I didn’t set any limit. I believe the theoretical limit is 100 players. Use at your own risk, lol.Starting the gameThe host can then start a game of their choice. Maybe a private game just with you ?The game will synchronize as best as possible. Everything is handmade, so some errors may occur.Important notes:All player actions must be validated by the host (small anti-cheat system)The host then sends those actions to the other playersThe host must keep the game in the foreground If the game runs in the background, other players will become desynchronized until the host brings the game window back to the foregroundIt is strongly recommended that the player with the best internet connection and the best computer acts as the host.Important note about craftingThe crafting menu only works for the host.This requires a complet...

You read that right, I am currently working on a multiplayer mode for the game.I am developing it in a homemade way: it will be efficient, will not rely on any external servers and, in short, it will be a game mode that is always available.I am optimizing it to keep latency and bandwidth usage very low.This will take quite a bit of time, as it is literally “a whole new game” in terms of code.For those who are interested, I am posting videos of the multiplayer mode, which is still a work in progress, on the Discord server.I am also developing a small anti cheat system to secure matches.Playing together should be much more fun, even if it makes the overall game experience easier.See you soon !
