This might be increased once again to 64 afer I have implemented better server admin features.īeta tester and serial art contributor Bucky created a new official map called Apartment Suite that has become pretty popular, judging from the community screenshots.ĪArcade uses Valve's Source engine, so there is full SDK documentation on how to create addon maps and the level editor itself, called Hammer, is actually packaged along with AArcade's Steam download.īucky is already at work on creating the next new map addition, which should be ready in October. The maximum number of players per-server was increased from 16 to 32. With all the new players from the Steam Early Access release, I was able to quickly spot some features that were needed, as well as receive some great feedback from players themselves. Without a doubt multiplayer features were the most highly requested. Here are some of the highlights of those updates. I plan to have this accomplished by Christmas.Īside from constantly answering questions and helping users get the most out of AArcade, I have been working on and releasing nightly client updates based on the features that the community has been requesting. There is still a lot of work to be done to bring Anarchy Arcade out of early access and into a full Steam release.
However, I haven't just been sitting back and enjoying AArcade's release. While you're at it, have a look at some of the many user reviews: Amazing user-created addon maps, props, and cabinets are starting to become more and more popular in the public user arcades.Ĭheck out some of the community's creations on the massive Steam Community Hub screenshot page: Over 400,000 YouTube videos have been watched in-game this month, not to mention countless Hulu, Twitch, Netflix, video games, and other non-tracked media that is constantly being played through AArcade's 3D desktop interface.Īmazing user-created multiplayer arcades are popping up on the server list every hour, and each time you join one it is a little bit different a little bit improved. Player counts, installs, and donations are all going well and I want to thank everybody participating in early access for supporting the community. In its 1st week alone Anarchy Arcade got over 100,000 installs and was actually able to compete with full commercial games that hit early access that same week. In this article I'll be letting you know how the Steam launch went, what updates AArcade has received already, and what you can expect in the near future.
AArcade has only been on Steam for 2 weeks as early access, and already it has improved greatly thanks to feedback and contributions from the community.
