Multiplayer Live & Launch Date!

Aground

As one of the last human survivors, you find yourself stranded on an uninhabited island. With a few other victims of the crash, can you craft, mine, and build your way to survival?

Aground has finally reached update 2.0 - and it’s a big one - it adds co-op multiplayer! You might have seen the multiplayer beta announcement: https://steamcommunity.com/games/876650/partnerevents/view/1712996449562039865 But it has now been tested and is ready for everyone to try!

To celebrate, we created a revised, launch-ready trailer with the help of friend [url=https://twitter.com/Mjoshua]@MJoshua[/url] and score remix by Chase. Watch it here: [previewyoutube=Ia0Rk-73OFQ;full][/previewyoutube] To play a game in Multiplayer, one player must host a save slot (it can be a new game), and then others can join that save. To host a save, select Multiplayer, enter a name for yourself and select Host Game, then select a slot to host.

It will show a list of everyone publicly hosting the game and you can select one to join, or you can manually input their IP address to join their game. We also added a chat feature for Multiplayer - in game, hit Tab to chat, and type /help in chat for a list of useful commands!

We are still planning on adding more, but these translations were included in the big 2.0 update! I hope you enjoy being able to play with friends, and let me know if you come across any issues! With only a few days until our full launch date, we’re hoping to fix any last minute bugs and maybe add a few more last minute quality of life updates!
