Nidhogg

Rollback netcode is here! Online matches should feel much more responsive. The online menus have been reworked as well. You can accept invites in-game without opening the Steam overlay. Matchmaking now favors the opponent with the best ping when there is more than one to choose from. Matches must be accepted within a time limit, so you will no longer land in a lobby with an AFK host. For solo play, the new Training mode lets you fight the CPU on any map without going through Arcade. And if you just want to watch, CPU BATTLE pits two CPU fighters against each other.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471291/681b2bfac79c48050ce06a3de90db68169ba5c32.png There is a new windows build to the beta branch that we would love people to try out before we push it out to everyone. This update adds localization support for 14 new languages. Many thanks to @YellowAfterlife (netcode dev) for his support and tooling here! It's also built from the latest version of game maker, which potentially will make the game run faster due to all the performance updates the software has received over the years, but will also likely cause some bugs in the game. We've been playing this version of the game and haven't encountered anything weird, but please let me know if you run into anything while playing. To try it out you will have to opt into the beta branch by right clicking the game and selecting "properties", then "betas", then select the beta channel from the dropdown (see attached pic). When you first open the game it will set the language to your default os language (if supported) but you can override that in the options menu. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471291/f9e8022cafa17be578c9ffea57e1d7a4c6ccc79c.png If you're looking for online opponents and

This is one we have to admit wasn't on our radar: Messhof's cult hit sword fighting game Nidhogg and its somewhat more grotesque sequel Nidhogg 2 have both received updates today, adding new levels to both titles. The original Nidhogg, which features low-res 4-bit style graphics and a psychedelic style, has a spooky new level called 'Fields.' It features some terrific places for duels, including a graveyard and a field lit by a huge full moon, and the whole place is crawling with amorous cats (which developer Mark Essen says not to be frightened by). The patch for Nidhogg also includes a new OST track by Daedalus, and you can now make the blood splatter last permanently in each level. Nidhogg 2's update includes two new levels for duelling tug-of-war. Their names are fairly self-explanatory: there's 'Train' and 'Office,' the latter of which Messhof says is modeled on the "open concept floorplan" found in the "real Messhof office in Venice California where play is work." There's a smiling inflatable mascot version of the Nidhogg worm giving the thumbs up near a basketball hoop and weight rack nestled into a b
