I've read about being able to use the current system to build a real-time multiplayer game, but I also saw that there is a fully-functional real-time system in the works, with beta studios testing it. I emailed info@gamesparks.com last Friday asking if there was any idea on a release window, or if my studio could take part in the beta. I hadn't gotten a response yet and was hoping to find out soon so I could start working on that portion of the game. The release window I've seen, Q2, is past.

Also as an aside if it isn't already being considered, something I've noticed is missing from some other multiplayer systems such as this one (namely the Photon Engine), is the ability to a) have multiple local players online (for example split-screen Halo in matchmaking), and b) parties of users that can join other rooms.

I would like to get the info as well.

Thanks a lot!
