    Seriously, how will this work? I take it you can be playing and someone can work in from another room and steal an object? That kind of thing?

    We’ve got a list of 10 game modes so far to work through and see what works and what won’t. The main game itself is a co-op mode JSW II with all the original rooms intact wherever possible and around 100 of our own added, so technically - no-ones stealing an object in the main game as it all goes towards the completion ratio.

    JSW by design allows us to pull this part off reasonably well as there’s not that many rooms where multiple routes can be used to get the objects.

    The chaos/carnage/multiplayer hell comes in with the other 9 modes we’re working through which Smila dropped in our beta thread this morning. They’re all competitive thangs. Should be interesting once we’ve hammered down exactly how they’ll work.

    You should add a mode where you can kill another player by jumping on his head (ala mario). That should spice things up a bit!
