The Software Alchemist

It’s release time again!

Here’s the .jar, download it and double click it. (Java required).

This one has interactivity, so there’s some keys to learn:

• Menus use up, down and enter (Use the “Host game” option to start a game, or choose a friend’s game on your LAN)
• Move around with W, A, S, D and the mouse
• Space to jump. Pump the spacebar to fly short distances
• Escape gets your mouse cursor back
• Finally, the tab key switches between walking, flying and seeing an overview

Yes, networking snuck into this release as well. It’s a bit clunky, but functional. More on that in a later post.

There’s no goal or objective yet, this is just one stepping stone on the way to a full game.
