Hey Axeman, I got them back into the game today, they spawn in the levels, and can smash buildings haha. There's still more to do on them like the copilot seat and making them break and take damage. I'm aiming to release and update at the end of the month. I'm packing as many new features into it as I can by then:D
1. i really love this game and mechanics there are really smooth.
2. me and my friends love playing this on our LAN server at our high school and i would like to know if you can message me privately (You don't have to) on how to set up a lan for a game i am (Trying to) make for a school project
3. in a couple weeks i am going to buy the game when i get paid lol, i love it so far and i am sure it will progress even further later.
Thanks, Deaudis!:) I'm glad you like the smooth mechanics, it was one of my goals for the feel of the game. I couldn't find a direct message feature on here so I'll just write it here. For setting up the LAN setup I followed a few youtube tutorials, you can find them in the comments section of this video under "Networking:" section:
Thank you so much for supporting too!:))

Hey! It's me again. Love the new version; but the crates never seem to hold anything for me. Is it a random chance thing, or is my game just buggy? I still see people running around with snipers and rocket launchers, but all the crates I open have nothing. Zilch. Nada. Just curious; love the work.
Hey JB! it's a but in 0.17b that I fixed (I hope so) in 0.18b. There should always be an item in the crates. Doe's your menu say version 0.18b? Thanks:D
Classic has the ostriches and biplanes, it's a version I had to stop updating because it broke, I'm re-making those features in the new standard pla-Toon so I added the classic until it'll up to speed:) The new one has a new lobby and different levels
I Love the game but you shold add more things to do and more guns,A game with a big amount of things to do is more atracctive for a bigger public and will live a longer than simple games,If you add more maps and more veichles the game will be 200% better and a public server system where you can see all online and the dedicated servers also a better menu interface and a optimization on older pcs. Ps:I have so much fun destructing houses please keep it.
Thanks man:) I think you're right, all those things are on my to-list for the game, in 5 months or so I hope to have all those features finished. I started on the jeep in the last update, it's very basic at the moment but I'm going to add graphics and proper physics now that the code framework is stable. Thanks for the feedback :)
Well why don't you do better, the team has worked hard on a game with potential, if you don't like that how about make your own game and see how hard it is, I am making one and trust me, it is difficult
You can host a game in the main menu by licking "host" then LAN or online, or to join a game, the game auto searches for hosted matches on the main menu, if it finds any they pop up as join buttons. Also you have to enable the game on your firewall to play online
SoundAndFuryGames, In classic version, the main menu had a text that said find a server here. I clicked it and the button led me to new pla-Toon. How do I fix this???

Hi! I've been following your development since the early days; really excited to see where this is going? When do you think you'll be able to release an update? Maybe in May?
Hi, and thanks:D The next update should be out within the week if everything goes as planned, I'm making the trees and tree-houses destructible, as well as some bug fixes. There will also me a large checklist in game lobby of the features to be added next to give people an idea of where the game is headed.
Is there a singleplayer/campaign option or is this a solely multiplayer game?
If it is only multiplayer, I can see from the snapshots of the game that a singleplayer option would make it a better and richer experience for the player.
Hey SwagLord, right now it's only multiplayer but I will be adding bots, AI can mean thousands of lines of coding but I'll give it a go after a few of the more core features are in place. I'd love to add a co-op or single player base defense game mode (players vs. bots) as well. I think you're right, it would be a better player experience. Thanks!
They are temporary, many features have be removed (because I have to in order to move forward with the project) but they will be added back again along with new features. Until the game is back to where it was in terms of features, levels, options etc, I'll have the "plaToonClassic" version of the game with the old levels, biplanes, ostriches etc, available here for download."
The classic version is available to download again:)

Add single-player plz
What is wrong with the servers? Why can't I play with people?
this game has nobady online
because it's not online, it uses WiFi for multiplayer
is any one playing?
Yes
is this going to be on steam????
What genre is this
I've never thought about it until now, haha. I'd say it's a hybrid
Are bots here yet?
Can you use controllers on this game
Not yet but it's something I'd like to experiment with in the future
When do you think that you will re-add planes?

nice game!,i like it!.Goodjob soundandfurygames
Thanks man:D
Also, breaking the trees seem to make them spazz out. when the tree is broke the house part stays up. Maybe add some physics to it
Yeah they go crazy lol. It's not how I intended for them to fall, I'd like the treehouses to fall with them too. Thanks I added it to the todo list
There is a bug in the newest version where if you look up you can see your body. also good job with making the para drops be dropped be planes.
Thanks man, I see what you mean, I just tested it and it kind of blocks your view. I'll try and get the fix done in time for 0.18b
ok. good job though
nice
nice

No bots? No way to test the game if your freinds dont want to play...

you suck
ok.
Well why don't you do better, the team has worked hard on a game with potential, if you don't like that how about make your own game and see how hard it is, I am making one and trust me, it is difficult
I believe an update in visual quality can boost this game's reputation because:
Most indie games don't have impressive graphics and impressive graphics can be eye catching
updated models and shaders would work perfectly
A detailed GUI is also something most indie games lack
decals can boost graphics
I think you're right, all those things would make the game better:) Thanks for the feedback!
How to play in multiplayer ?
You can host a game in the main menu by licking "host" then LAN or online, or to join a game, the game auto searches for hosted matches on the main menu, if it finds any they pop up as join buttons. Also you have to enable the game on your firewall to play online
SoundAndFuryGames, In classic version, the main menu had a text that said find a server here. I clicked it and the button led me to new pla-Toon. How do I fix this???
What is the difference between Platoon Classic and just Platoon?
Classic has the ostriches and biplanes, it's a version I had to stop updating because it broke, I'm re-making those features in the new standard pla-Toon so I added the classic until it'll up to speed:) The new one has a new lobby and different levels
Thanks! :D
We had some amazing fun with the classic edition during the last play session!
Haha awesome :D Thanks for creating the another video! I added it to this playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdMT8L4lAcR8EGNB0GXZYREjt4Whgogjq
Hi SoundAndFury! Please check your facebook , I've left a message about featuring plaToon on my site :)
I found it:) Thanks again for featuring it, Alex!
Hi! I've been following your development since the early days; really excited to see where this is going? When do you think you'll be able to release an update? Maybe in May?

I hope the bots appear soon, love da game
Hey Michael, I'll be adding them before to long, I have most of the player code in place that I need to start adding bots. And thanks:D
Hi there-
Is there a singleplayer/campaign option or is this a solely multiplayer game?
If it is only multiplayer, I can see from the snapshots of the game that a singleplayer option would make it a better and richer experience for the player.
Cheers!

I'd love to add a co-op or single player base defense game mode (players vs. bots) as well. I think you're right, it would be a better player experience. Thanks!
Why can't I download this? Everytime I click on this game it says "Not available on windows" Could someone help me out?
I fixed it now:) I forgot to tag the new files
Thanks man
What does it mean by unzip and run. Where is the file?
I hope this helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7e37KIsE6Y
Thanks for answering the question iwanPlays:) did you figure out how to open it WoolyRhino?
This is quite fun! (feel free to use in description :) )
Thanks for making the video iwan! I loved it:D
Man you're right. but I think He's testing this new one but i really prefere the old one
Hey I just added this section to the description:
"To everyone confused by the recent changes:
They are temporary, many features have be removed (because I have to in order to move forward with the project) but they will be added back again along with new features. Until the game is back to where it was in terms of features, levels, options etc, I'll have the "plaToonClassic" version of the game with the old levels, biplanes, ostriches etc, available here for download."
The classic version is available to download again:)
Cheers!
Braden
No problem!:)
