Tech Demo Release!

Hello everyone!

Here's what you've been waiting for! The first "The Forgotten Planet Tech Demo".

I've been working on solving a stupid bug that only happens on the windows client (As usual windows sucks, and Linux rules when it comes to handling stuff you've coded). But since I've promised to relase a tech demo last week, and we're past that already, I've decided to relase the tech demo with the bug anyway.

The bug occurs when: Host walks in to the clients room for the third time in a row. BOOM, client dies. Anyhow you can still try out the four rooms, probe bombing and jumping on the probe in hover platform mode.

See if you can exploit the probe and fly on it! (Yes it's possible, but collisions are not proper then and you might fall outside the map :P. I left it in there for fun. (It's still something I'm working on which will be in-game later on).

Both linux & windows executables are inside. You can also run the game with wine in linux (in case you don't know how to set up things).

I will now start to clean up and rewrite the network code to make sure this kind of problem won't occur again (as easily)

Until next blogpost!
