First of all, I would like to thank everybody who has helped with translating 8-Bit Commando and the rest of the 2dengine games. The project has been a success with thousands of contributions provided by nearly a hundred translators. In order to help the project advance, 2dengine will be providing some additional features to translators. You can now change under what alias or nickname you would like to be credited. Note that it may take several weeks until the game credits are synced and pushed onto Steam. Also, please be advised that the press often treats game credits as public information. Additionally, you now have the option to delete your account and remove all contributions.

With the help of some cool new technology you can now play 8-Bit Commando in your browser. This is a great way to check out what the game is about and doesn't require installation.

Also, thanks to improvements in our distribution technology, the Steam version of 8-Bit Commando is now smaller and loads even faster. Don't be fooled by the mixed reviews, we've been improving and supporting this game for a long time and it certainly deserves move LÖVE!

Greeting, Commandos.

Over the last few days, we have updated 8-Bit Commando to work with the latest version of Steamworks v1.51. This will ensure that the game and its multiplayer features will continue to work properly in the future. Please update your Steam client if you have any trouble running the game.



Thank you for the support,
2dengine

Replays Fix and SKULLMASTER'S ARENA

Greetings Commandos,
Just pushed an update that will make the game much more robust.
Prior to this update, the game used the player's resolution to keep objects on the screen.
It turns out that we can't use that method reliably in multiplayer mode.
Unfortunately this will probably break some older "replays" from the Workshop.



Please support us and check out our new game called SKULLMASTER'S ARENA:

LPCVW-C7605-EVMV0
EQ4W5-IH27C-QNXW4

This is an experimental update increasing the speed of the game by 20% in NORMAL and 40% in HARD mode. Note that HARD mode unlocks once you complete the game and can be changed from the options screen.

Greetings Commandos

8-Bit Commando uses the Steam Workshop to record and store replays which are uploaded after completing any mission. Recent updates to the game feature several improvements to the replay system. Replays can now be reviewed and downloaded in-game by going to Hiscore > Replay. Additionally, we have introduced playtime tracking so you can see which replays have been watched the most. This is an awesome way to showcase your top speedruns.

Our Chinese, Korean & Japanese friends can finally enjoy the game in their native language! Special thanks to Jether and dollppin for all of their hard work! If you speak another language, you can help us too by going to this page. Cheers!

It's official - the online multiplayer beta is up and running! You can start up a multiplayer session by choosing “Online” from the title screen.



Next, pick your favorite game mode (coop/versus/arcade) and invite somebody. Make sure you are signed into “Steam chat” to see which of your friends are playing too.



Lastly, there are a few things that you can do to improve your online experience:
- Play with friends who live nearby, preferably on the same continent.
- Plug into a wired connection or at least try to stay close to your wireless router.
- Close any open applications or background services connected to the internet.
- Turn off other devices connected to your home network or WIFI.

If you are having trouble please get in touch and remember to enable automatic updates for both your Steam client and the game. Thanks for reading and much LÖVE!

Reports are coming in of a strange sea creature spotted near the docks in 8-Bit Commando. Several witnesses have identified this creature as Dopefish. Be advised that Dopefish is a notoriously elusive beast and only appears when playing on "hard" difficulty.

Dopefish lives... but it's your job to hunt him down. Show him no mercy if you want that sweet, ultra-rate achievement cred.

Thanks for reading and much LÖVE,
2dengine
