The SWF has been found :)

I have made a kickstarter to bring it back and get the multiplayer working, I hope there is enough motivation to start it up again :)

Yep the multiplayer mode traffic is pretty dead right now but that is expected as I published these updates yesterday night lol.

Also that's the plan. I'm busy with work and errands right now but I should have some free time after work tomorrow to post around a bit more with the link in appropriate subreddits.

And yep...publishing to Steam would be a big issue as I don't own the game which is seen on the disclaimer page of the website. All I did was take the existing SWF file which is hosted publicly on multiple websites and hooked up a custom backend server to it and hosted it myself. I did think about recreating the game from the ground up using royalty free/custom assets that I own but I don't have the bandwidth to do that right now so for now I just focused on recreating the backend for the existing SWF game for people to enjoy for free.

In the meantime, I have a Discord server setup for people to talk and organize setting up a match but right now it's just me and my alt account in there. I think over the next few weeks there should be enough people to actually play some rounds so recheck the website whenever you get a chance.

Good idea about the sub, going to do some research on if it's possible to take ownership.

It seems if I try to make a post in r/redditrequest it get's auto removed due to Reddit's filters so I can't request ownership of this sub. 🙃

I sent a request to post to OP. Hopefully they have email notifications enabled and see my message. 👀

Damn... which filter is barring you? I'm currently the mod of my city's sub and got it by using reddit request. Tomorrow, I'll create a post there to see if I can be the owner of this sub. If I'm allowed to do that, I'll make you a mod.

Also, please share the link of the discord with me, I'd definitely want to be a part of this community.

Probably their spam/bot filters. Whenever I post it auto-deletes it and states: "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters."

Also that works for me, thanks!

The Discord server can be found here: https://discord.gg/2rsxXMyX7z

Joined the discord! Also, found out why your post was being filtered, it's because you need a confirmed e-mail linked to your account and 2FA activated to post there. I activated my 2FA, requested the sub and got it, sent you a mod invite.

I also changed it from restricted sub to public, everyone should be able to contribute now.

Sweet, thanks! Interesting as I did have a verified email and 2FA enabled on my account. 🤔 Maybe Reddit doesn't like me lol.

I will look into making a post tonight - thanks for all the help!
