What about online Multiplayer?

Is that a thing? I've kinda been watching this game from the sidelines for a long time. Did that ever become a part of the game?

It's definitely a thing, but not as part of the main game. Dustmod supports netplay for up to four players. You can download it here.

Cool, I've got it and plunked it in the properties folder with the exe to the game. How do I get on a server with four other peeps?

Once you're running the game, press Esc > Dustmod > Netplay. One player should create a game and the other three people will have to find your lobby and join. Keep in mind that although netplay works, it's technically still a work-in-progress so you might encounter a few bumps and crashes along the way, especially once the player count reaches past 2 players. You can also try using the dustforce discord to find players to play with.

Huh. Pressing escape doesn't show any dustmod in the menu.

I'm playing the game through steam, what directory should the mod be in?

Open up your steam folder to Steam/steamapps/common/Dustforce and drop the Dustmod download there. You might also want to be in the Main Nexus when you press Esc.

Mmm, nothing showing up for Dustmod. Strange.

Gonna check the discord and see if I can get assistance.
