Game devs, listen up! Coherence and Bossa Games have dropped some big news. They’ve joined forces for the upcoming 1-6 player survival adventure, Lost Skies, set to be published by Humble Games.
Next-Level Networking Engine
At the core of Lost Skies is Coherence’s revolutionary network engine. This bad boy isn’t just for show; it drives the co-op PVE action in a sprawling open world of floating islands. Gamers can team up to discover ancient tech, build skyships, and tackle some pretty wild storms.
Go Your Own Way: Local and P2P Networking
One of the spicy updates in Coherence’s 1.0 release is extending multiplayer functionality to local and client-to-client networking. Bossa Games jumped on this, allowing players to host Lost Skies independently. That means no dependency on third-party or cloud hosting services. A solid move for long-term gameplay without breaking the bank.
World-Building Like a Boss
If you thought your usual open-world games were massive, Lost Skies promises to take it up a notch. Thanks to Coherence’s World Origin Shifting tech, developers can build game worlds that are larger and more precise than ever. The tech makes sure objects are positioned just right, even over vast distances. So, you’ve got a lot of room to explore, fam.
Explore With Your Squad or Go Solo
Lost Skies offers something for every type of gamer. Whether you’re flying solo or part of a six-player crew, the world’s your oyster. Build intricate skyships, take on huge bosses, and chart your own course through the skies. The game leverages Coherence’s tech to fit different team sizes and strategies, so there are no limits to your sky-high adventures.
Changing the Multiplayer Game
The partnership highlights Coherence’s impressive start in redefining multiplayer game development. Their engine helps studios quickly test and build multiplayer titles, removing previous technical barriers. From big studios to indie teams, Coherence is leveling the playing field.
Boss Fights and More
Your adventure in Lost Skies won’t be just another sightseeing tour. The game will feature physics-based grappling hooks, gliders, free climbing, and multiple mobility options. And yes, you’ll have a chance to engage in epic boss fights against giant flying baddies.
Founders Weigh In
Coherence co-founder Dino Patti and Bossa Games’ Henrique Olifiers both expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. Patti highlighted the freeing impact of Coherence’s tech on game developers.
