PLEASE READ:
My fellow MBP staff, I regret to imform you that Multiplayer, Even with the working master and everything, won't work. Spy47 has recentlly reported that the Movement files and Physics system that let's marble blast seem so real is on the Client side of MBP. I didn't believe him and checked, he is right. What does this mean? It means MBP will never send our movements over a network. This would mean playeing online like we do now. It is not to spectacular, is it? You won't be able to see or hit other marbles.
It can be fixed by Completlly redoing the game in Tourge, but this would mean a new physics system which took the programmers of MBG (Some of the worlds best) years to make. We are inexperienced and it would take us even longer. Also it would not be the same as ours is. So your levels might need to be redone and we would be set back to the drawing board for MBP.
Some easier solutions may pop up in the future, but I think it is safe to say that Multiplayer is off. I'm sorry, but it is for the better.
This is the same problem that stopped the makers of MBG from making it multiplayer. They also said in the Development Docs that thier test version with multiplayer being played on some of the fastest computers lagged terribly under the complex system. Not to mentain thier upload speed of 100s of Kps and ours of 30-50. It would never hold up.
I don't want to make it public just yet. And I don't want to have it as we have it now because it is better off without a full one then with one. Again I am sorry.

We would still release it almost-functional, right? It's better than nothing.

I FIXED IT A SENTENCE LATER WHEN I REALISED MY TYPO!
What that I TRULY meant to say (without that stupid typo):
MBP With MultiPlayer or MBP with whatever we have of the MultiPlayer because it's better than nothing.
"MBG (Some of the worlds best) years to make." - errr, incorrect, big time.

Guys, RM likes to pop up with these kinds of messages, so fucking relax. MP AIN'T CANCELLED OR OVER, there're still several ways we can still try. RM, STFU and don't come up with these messages until we're 100000000% sure there're no other ways or walk-arounds.
