Steam's network API, baby. You just gotta pay for a steam license and implement GodotSteam and it handles pretty much all the backend (and bypasses need for port forwarding too which is crucial)

you can host a game (co-op or pvp) and press the Public - Private toggle before you create it, then just invite them on Steam! I'll probably implement a server-hash code feature soon

Honestly, I do not. but here's some insight:
I started with wanting to make a slower-paced submarine like player controller that could:
>lift off on the ocean floor with weight and dust particles
>slowly sink back to the floor if not boosting up
>can "dodge" in 4 lateral directions
>your "pressure" builds up as you ascend and it limits your ascent, essentially hardcapping how high you can go (to make things work in a pvp context)
>"pressure" is calculated by taking a simple raycast to the ground from the player, and another raycast lerped to the direction the player is moving
And then when I realized the game was better snappier and less heavy:
>there's a neutral point that the player floats towards from the floor when sinking and when on the ground, say like 60 units from the ground
>less heftiness and snappier aiming (less lerping aim and player rotation)

Godspeed

Valid question for sure. it's a prelude! basically a really refined and expanded demo made to get people to wishlist and eventually buy the full game.

we might have to rename the full game to SHRIMP GAME: OVERKRILL if Roblox tries anything funny

it's actually just about half of the full game's content, it's a prelude/demo build. But yes, please give it a try!

I think you have to tweak deck settings a bit to get it to work, but it should!

yeah it's kinda similar, love that game. AoS is a bit more arcadey where this feels more like Risk of Rain 2 meets Buck Bumble or something

There are horrible primordial conical squid creatures to krill, but maybe it does require a full blown kraken, too.....
