  v1.6.1 Released: PvP Mode Improvements + More

  Hi everyone, A new update has been released to improve Multiplayer and Singleplayer Mode: PvP Mode Fixes: Fixed an issue where joining PvP lobbies would sometimes not correctly sync enemy locations for clients. PvP mode now correctly uses the host as the shared world authority, allowing connected players to see the same enemies, NPCs, objects (in some cases, players may still only see objects tied to their own game state), and day/time state. Enemy and NPC positions, activities, and defeated states are mirrored from the host to clients. Client actions against shared enemies are now sent back to the host, helping keep combat and world state consistent for everyone in the session. Single Player Improvements: A new Sea Encounter Director has been added using existing systems to create random sailing threats based on boat/ship travel, weather, bounty, progression, level, and ABS spawns. Additional Save Slot has been added. Mutiny Island now supports two save files. Disabled keyboard input for Name Select to support the new default WASD controls. Also fixed an issue where deleting a previously selected letter in Name Select would not always clear correctly. Added F4 for Full Screen Text in the CTR menu. Added the build version number to the Multiplayer menu. Other small various bug fixes and improvements.

  v1.6.0 Released: Online Multiplayer Update

  Hi everyone, Almost seven years after release, Mutiny Island has received a brand new feature: experimental online multiplayer. Players can now host or join online lobbies with up to four players. Multiplayer can be accessed from the MP menu after loading into your save file. Public and private lobbies are supported, with private games using a room code system. Each player can freely explore the whole map at their own leisure without any tethers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35239539/0873c0728bc8ac94852f1e98c8e68e9f2e5f6954.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35239539/3ea5034270ee63b4ceb03d94f76fe99a978a8735.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35239539/0873c0728bc8ac94852f1e98c8e68e9f2e5f6954.png Online Lobbies The new lobby system lets players host, browse, search, refresh, and join multiplayer games. Lobbies can be set as public or private, and players can filter games by PvE or PvP mode. Items can be brought over freely into online and back into single player. PvE Presence Mode PvE mode lets players see each other while playing in the world. You can meet up, chat, emote, trade, and see where other players are while exploring. This mode is focused on playing alongside other players rather than sharing full world combat. World enemies and combat are not shared in PvE Presence Mode. PvP Mode PvP mode is the combat-focused multiplayer option. In this mode, players can damage each other directly, and player defeats are announced to the lobby. PvP also enables shared host-side combat encounters. Active enemies from the host’s world can appear for connected players, including their movement, animations, health, and defeated state. This allows players to take part in the same combat encounter, with the host keeping the main enemy state in sync for the lobby. Loot and resources in PvP are shared through the host’s world rather than being separate per player, so players may need to coordinate and share supplies to get by. Because this mode shares more active combat information, it may feel rougher or less pr...
