In the latest kickstarter update for Satellite Reign there are some announcements about when to expect co-op (3rd June) and that they are migrating their forums to the official 5 Lives Studio forums. This comes with some rebranding (Satellite Reign: Uplink). In the meantime you can play multiplayer with the nightly branch and expect physical rewards to be delivered soon if your a backer.
More information.Multiplayer Beta
The co-op multiplayer update-which we've titled Satellite Reign: Uplink-is coming along nicely, and we're pleased to announce that all backers and owners of the game will be able to jump online and play as of the 3rd of June. That's only a week away!
We'll be uploading a multiplayer beta to Steam which you can opt-in to play. Anyone who was playing the Nightly branch during the Early Access period will be familiar. We decided to do this just in case there are any bugs which may interfere with the single-player experience. This way, anyone not interested in beta-testing the multiplayer won't have to worry.
We're also planning to make the multiplayer beta build available on Humble, so any backers who don't want to use Steam will be able to access it from there.
New Website and Forums
We recently launched new and improved websites for both Satellite Reign and our official 5 Lives Studios homepage. Along with the update comes a new forum. Rather than having a forum attached to the Satellite Reign page, we've decided to have one official 5 Lives Studios forum which will act as the hub for all future 5 Lives titles (hopefully there'll be a lot!). This does mean that the old forums are no longer going to be updated. They're still viewable at the moment (http://satellitereign.com/forums), but will be shut down in the near future.
That's all for now. We'll have another announcement next week with instructions for playing the multiplayer beta.
5 Lives Team.
