Multiplayer 2017-09-03

Hi all,

Rubix and I are planning Lix multiplayer for Sunday, September 3rd, at 18:00 UTC (= 11:00 Pacific daylight savings, 20:00 in Germany or Austria).

Who's up?

It's perfectly fine to play for the first time.

You need Lix 0.8. At the given time, click Network Game and connect to lixgame.com (large button in the networking menu).

I'd love to join. It would be my first time playing multiplayer Lix.

I may be able to make it. I'll be back at my family's house for Labor Day weekend, but I'll try to join in if we're not doing a family thing.

Glad that it's the 3rd as I am away from 27th to 1st! I will be there and also try to record the session!

GigaLem · August 25, 2017, 07:24:39 PM

Would that be the 2nd for me? or very early on Sunday for me?

I'll join if i can make it.

Sadly I can't make this one, I'll be working at that time. Would love to get involved if you do it at a time I can play in the future.

Whoa, lots of interest. Awesome!

Still Sunday, 3rd for you, at 12:00 noon. Utah is -6 from UTC during daylight savings and -7 during standard time.

Once it fits into your schedule better, propose a date and time yourself. Will be happy to play! Or ask in IRC/Discord on the fly, multiplayer works with 2 players already.

I'll see if I can make, that's the problem of having a shared computer. If I sleep in late, someone else takes it

WARNING: Mike & Lex Lemming are coming for you on September the 3rd

I've installed a Mumble server for voicechat! PM me for the server details to join voicechat.

Most likely, nobody will be online now (Friday night), but I'll hang out there on Sunday.

I know that some forumers use Discord for voicechat. Unfortunately, Discord on Arch Linux still has the bug that breaks voicechat for me -- it's a known problem, but still not fixed. The program is closed-source, all we can do is hope for a bugfix. Mumble, instead, is open-source software, and has better latency than Discord.

I am going to plan on participating. Prepare for me to get my butt whooped!

Flopsy · September 02, 2017, 06:26:49 PM

Is there any chance someone could record this, the last one which was recorded was so fun to watch!

Simon · September 02, 2017, 06:41:01 PM

I'm going to stream the session on twitch. Look for the vod within 14 days:

I'll tell all joiners that I'll be streaming. I suppose everybody will be fine with it.

I have planned on trying to record this and upload it later. So we've got a live stream and a Youtube upload then.
