Masjin!?
I released yet another update to Masjin; this time to fix a bug that has made joining games almost impossible lately. Not that anyone ever playes the game, I just felt sentimental and wanted to play around a bit. Maybe I’ll organize a game someday.
Wasnt able to host for some reason. Pressing any button does not do anything in the host screen.
When we host games, are we hosting servers or just hosting games on your server?
Hosting games on a public server not owned by me. :)
The blog requires me to approve the comments usually, so don’t worry if they don’t appear at first!
Thanks for the comments! Unfortunately I’ve pretty much quit updating/patching Masjin simply due to the sheer amount of stuff that’s wrong/broken right now. It has been interesting to follow people playing the game, and I hope that someday I’ll be able to create some kind of an updated version. As it is, though, the game has its bugs and such. Sorry about that :(
I hope you’re aware that only the host needs a level file for the game to use it! The game’ll automatically send the map to the joining players.
There’s ONE SENTENCE I can’t post here for some reason. It’s about that one level I made which doesn’t work at all. I think it’s cursed.
I wondered if these issues could be caused by Linux/WINE, but I’ve tested all bugs on a friend’s Windows and it’s the same.
The levels are still playable, people just need to be aware of the limitations.
Congrats on the lovely game! I’ll see if I can get more people to play it.
P.S.: I still have some map ideas. Some can be made right away, some will have to wait. I’ll probably update that map pack, add some more info. Also, I’m gonna put a level by you and another by mokesmoe in there (with due credits, of course), hope you don’t mind.
Hi there! I recently found out about this game and fell in love with it. Already made a few levels:

I had the luck to find a few people playing who had also just found out about it too. I hope the bugs I found didn’t drive them away though. Dunno if you know about them already, but it doesn’t hurt to tell. These bugs only happen in levels made with the editor:
1- players can’t plant turrets (probably everyone but the host).
2- players can’t exit planes (probably everyone but the host).
3- sometimes blue/red barriers become invisible and/or don’t work properly.
4- there’s one area (perhaps more) that’s not buildable in all editor-made levels. Try the “kdponte2” level, and build a bridge to the right, you’ll soon find it.
okay, it seems the comment I’m trying to post is just too big. so I’m gonna split it in parts (ignore this one too)
testing testing
just checking if you received my comment. if you did, just ignore this one
Still lovin’ it.
I know this a bit late, but thanks Hempuli!
I’ve really wanted to play this with my friends for ages, but had connection issues a-plenty :)
Hopefully this should fix things up :)
Yeah, even I run the game from time to time, remembering all the fun we had last year.
But recently there seems to be a bug with creating rooms that don’t appear in the list, so noone can join. Please look at it, after all it’s your best project so far, Hemp.
WE PLAY DAMMIT. Older build though, and only when we can manage to get a few people together.
Man, thanks for this game. It’s becoming more and more popular in Brazil. I’ve played with my friends from college almost everyday this month. Thank you.
P.S.: the Level Editor, how can I create a Science Lab/Balcony/etc. to red team? I just can build to blue team (on that map you posted, there’s no red SciLab/Balcony/etc., only blue players can buy something :/)
Keep on truckin’, brother!
I’m not sure what you mean – you can’t add those texts in the editor, and this far the shops have worked for both teams. It should work so that in level editor-made levels, all shops are free for both teams.
