Publisher Iceberg Interactive announced today that its upcoming 4X space strategy game Lords of the Black Sun (PC), currently in Beta on Steam’s Early Access Program, has received a major new update, featuring the highly-awaited addition of multiplayer. Players are now able to forge in-game alliances with their best pals, or squash them with a galactic onslaught, in this original turn-based strategy game.
Important Update Notes:
- Multiplayer! -- First playable version of the Multiplayer has arrived. Anything players can report on that side would be greatly appreciated. It is currently LAN and Internet/IP only, but it is planned on implementing Steam Lobbies to make matchmaking easier.
- Bigger Windows -- Intelligence screen enlarged. The window is significantly larger, showing more information and bigger and less cluttered text.
- New Tech -- New Technologies and ship parts have been introduced, as well as a re-balanced military tech tree.
- Better Combat -- Improved combat mode and several bugs fixed that were introduced in the last build.
- Better UI -- UI changes/improvements: Now selecting a planet will indicate how much you can profit from trading with it, as well as how much others can profit from trading with your planets.
- Fixes -- Tentatively fixed several crashes related to beta 1.1.
- Balancing -- Some general bug fixing and overall balancing and polishing in several areas of the game.
