The lobby system is just about finished now and I'd be very grateful if anybody (who has bought a full version) would like to help test it.
Just send me an email to sean@windowsgames.co.uk and please include your order email receipt as proof of purchase if you've got that handy.
Beta testers for the new lobby system needed!

Yes, the lobby is basically a list of people who have set up their game to be a network server and are happy to make that public. Other people can then see that list and choose to connect to one of the servers.BoxZone_Author wrote:... and what is "the lobby feature"?
If it's multi-real player than I can't help you.
If it's standalone vs the PC I can Beta test.
I'll be making other changes to the game though so it's always useful for me to have people test the non-networking game features too in case anything gets broken on the way.

Yes. In the lobby list (in the New Network Game dialog box) all currently running public games are listed. If the game is in progress it is shown in black text, and games that are yet to start are in green and shown at the top of the list.Tfar Craw wrote: Does the lobby keep in touch with games that have been started?
They way others could tell what games are in process and possiably what for them to end.
