Major Features in 7.5.0

Multi-team Multiplayer

The multiplayer system in Blocksmith has been majorly revamped in 7.5.0. It is easier than ever to set up a multiplayer match, literally taking just a few clicks.

And say goodbye to the old two-team only setup. You can you can now add as many teams as want, or reduce it down to one single team for free-for-all games. Each team has customizable team colors, and the option to support specific device platforms.

The result is that multiplayer in Blocksmith is easier to use but more powerful than ever.
