  Multiplayer Development Update #2 – Races, Bots, Results & More

  Multiplayer development continues!A lot has changed since our first Multiplayer Development Update.What started as a basic Host/Join race test has now grown into a much more complete multiplayer race system. We have been steadily adding new features, statistics and gameplay mechanics.The race loop is now workingThe basic Stair Race can now be played from start to finish.Players and bots wait together behind the starting gate while the countdown begins:5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
