Multiplayer update!!!

Baldi 7.0 - New Update: Multiplayer Beta!

Hello, everyone!

I’ve got some exciting news to share—MULTIPLAYER is finally here! 🎉 I changed my mind and decided to release this feature early because I know how much you’ve been waiting for it. Keep in mind, this is still in beta, so there are some limitations, but you can now play with your friends! Let's break it down.

What's New?

Multiplayer Beta

• Max Players: Currently supports 2 players (but it's a subject to change).
• Gameplay: You can collect notebooks and touch exits to win. Items and NPCs are not functional yet, but that will be added in the future.
• Player Texture: Players appear as the students from the “Students” fun setting.

How to Connect to Multiplayer

1. Go to the main menu and press the Play button.
2. Click the Multiplayer [BETA] button. You’ll see a "Connecting to the server" message—this means the game is trying to connect to the multiplayer server.
3. Username: You’ll need a username, but the input field is currently locked. Press the Generate button to create a random username.
4. Hosting:
   • Press Create Room to host a game.
   • Share the room code (top-left corner of the screen) with your friend.
   • When both players are ready, press Play to start!
5. Joining:
   • Enter the room code provided by your friend by clicking Paste and then Join Room Code.
   • When you’re in, press Play to begin.

Error Messages

You might encounter some issues while joining rooms. Here’s what the "Failed to join the room" error could mean:

• Room Full: The room already has 2 players.
• Connection Problem: Your internet connection might be unstable.
• Invalid Room Code: The room code doesn’t exist.
• Game Already Started: The host has already started the game.
• Username Missing: A username is required to join.
• Server Error: There was an error on the server.

If you’re stuck on “Connecting to the room,” restart the game as the server might have bugged out.

Fixes and Improvements

• Swinging Doors Sound: Fixed an issue where NPCs opening doors didn’t play the sound effect.

I hope you enjoy this new update! Multiplayer wasn’t as hard to make as I expected, and I’m excited to hear your feedback. There’s a lot more to come, so stay tuned for future updates.

Have fun and be happy! 😄
