Status Update 2018-12-13

The last status update from 2018-12-05 on Steam is still the latest. We have begun work on the next campaign.
The past two or three months have been extra work-heavy. First the daily job and then the Superfighters Deluxe preparations for the Steam release. Long nights and little sleep. Releasing the game on Steam just changed the focus from actual coding on the game to managing contacts, e-mails and other administrative stuff which has taken even more time around- and after the release on Steam. We feel tired right now so a break over Christmas is welcomed from both our daily jobs and from Superfighters Deluxe for a while. December 2018 might be the month we will get the least amount of work done for Superfighters Deluxe when it comes to content since we started working on it.
Meanwhile, I have been thinking about NAT Punch-through for Superfighters Deluxe to ease the process of creating and hosting games if it is possible to get it to work with Lidgren.Network and Superfighters Deluxe and our master server. https://keithjohnston.wordpress.com/201 ... yer-games/ explains it in a easy way to understand if you don't know what it is and why it helps. This will be my main focus during the Christmas period. But as the article also brings up, it's not a solution that will work for everyone if you're behind a symmetric NAT router. But it should improve the situation for many people that (for various reasons) can't (or won't) update their router settings.
