BombSquad: 8 Player Party-Game Madness

**Conker** · 04-19-2013

This looks amazing. I'm going to play this day 1.

[edit] I just went back and watched the YouTube video 3 times. I can't believe how polished this is. This looks very professional, extremely well done. A lot of developers could learn from you. I think we all could. Very well done, I'm excited to play it!!

[Edit 2] Dev question: Is there a menu setting to customize controls on a USB input? My X-Arcade stick would like to have a word with you.

Yessir! ..just go under Settings->Controllers->Configure Gamepad in the game. You can configure each type of gamepad individually. It should also pop up a dialog when you plug one in that it doesn't yet recognize it asking if you want to configure it.

I.... I love you.

Looks like this one is lined up to be a hit out of the park! Nice job polishing it. One of the causes of lag I've heard is from multiple Bluetooth controllers submitting input. I'll be interested to see if getting all 8 players running on the device runs into this.

Thanks!
..And yeah I'm curious about bluetooth lag on that scale too.. though I routinely run games with my friends on my mac using 4 bluetooth ps3 controllers and 4 wireless xbox60 controllers and there's essentially zero lag there so I'm hopeful... of course technically one can resort to something like this, which is ugly but effective:

So I just tested this out on my Touchpad running Cyanogenmod 10 and WOW. If my Ouya ever shows up I'll be buying this as soon as it's available. Amazing work!
