Troubleshooting can be found in the developer help section before the Windows 7 obsolescence section.Have you ever wanted to explore a deep and endless ocean instead of fighting your enemies? Have you ever? You know what I've always wondered about porcupine sex. They have all those quills and poison. It just seems dangerous to me and yet I've never heard of any porcupines dying from sex in the span of human history. It's just something we never really think about.Multiplayer: Say no to splitscreen! All multiplayer happens on the same screen, on the same TV locally—you don’t need two TVs or internet.Explore a massive UDK 3 map: The world is larger than a typical UDK 3 map—about 5 miles—and full of surprises. Along the way, you’ll uncover quirky in-game movie sequences, including a hilarious take on porcupine sex and another on abortion. the rest of the jokes take place within their own themed challenge area that loads nearly instantly and seamlessly allowing you to explore the world at your leisure.Achievements:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>One for watching the porcupine sex sequence</li><li>One for watching the abortion and eggs sequence</li><li>Explore the world</li><li>Discovered Challenge 1: Some things truly can't be explained</li><li>One step at a time: Discover the secret of dark humor</li><li>Or what we call a pyramid scheme: Discover the stock scheme</li><li>What, it is: Discover scientific method</li><li>But I want government: Defeat supreme leader bear</li><li>More French fries: Discover the history of potatoes</li><li>Don’t cry: Survive the river that drowned the world</li><li>Where’s Ferris: Discover the secret areaAdded as of 12/16/25:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Time Travel — Buy a soda</li><li>76 — Discover the number of the millennium</li></ul></li></ul>Fast, seamless gameplay: Load times in challenges are only ~1.5 seconds, and you can move across the map so quickly you’ll sometimes hover over the ground. Fun with friends: Drop objects to attack each other, explore the world together, or activate the in-engine movie sequences.

FOV adjusts automatically depending on resolution. For best results, 4K is recommended.Ways to Play: Share one keyboard, with Player 1 controlling the camera. Use two keyboards and a mouse, or two keyboards and two mice. Play via Parsec or Steam Remote Play Together (if using Steam Deck at 720p, the highest-resolution screen should be host)Extras: Fly faster than Sonic, discover hidden comedy bits, trigger a solar eclipse, and explore the largest possible UDK 3 map—all for just $3.Windows 7 support: DRM-free and playable on Windows 7 Service Pack 2 64-bit even after Steam support ends.Controls (local &amp; multiplayer):<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Player 1: WASD to move, Z mine /X/C vertical/horizontal shooting, Space jump, R teleport to Player 2, mouse to move camera</li><li>Player 2: Arrow keys, K mine /I/O vertical/horizontal shooting, Comma teleport to Player 1 / activate sequences, Right Ctrl jump</li><li>Camera: Period/Slash to rotate view for either player</li><li>Stop Moving while in the air to land.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >multiplayer compatibility ps2</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Works best on a single screen or TV</li><li>Smaller screens (like Steam Deck) may work at 720p if both players are using a small screen</li><li>Multiplayer at 720p and below is untested<h2 class="bb_tag" ></h2></li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >devlog we did it ps3</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>The game has now been approved for release on Steam. We've essentially completed the work on the game. There is 2 minutes 30 seconds of in-engine movie sequences added, each with its own challenge gameplay section that really adds to the comedy of the movie sequence. They're really great.</li><li>Tomorrow we’ll be connecting all the movie sequences together back to the game world. In order to spawn you in the right place for the 7 challenge movie sequence game sections, you need to spawn around where you are in the game world when the section ends. But until all the movie sequences are done, some of the links wouldn’t have all of the game world on them since they weren’t made yet.</li><li>With the game complete, those can now be added. We also need to add the additional achievements for all those movie sequences, which is trivial. There are also some surprisingly simple things I need to do, but I already know how to do them. There isn’t any thinking involved for it per se, but it will be tedious to implement.</li><li>The game is a fun showcase of 2 minutes 30 seconds worth of entertaining in-engine movie sequences:</li><li>There is a multiplayer component where you and a friend can explore the world, possibly activate some of the movie sequences, and attack each other.</li><li>The world is the largest size possible for a UDK 3 map. The world is mostly empty, but you can move across it quite effortlessly so fast that you'll often hover over the ground.</li><li>The multiplayer should provide some fun. It's designed to easily be played on one screen with one keyboard in local multiplayer. You could of course use two keyboards if you want to, but this mainly works because Windows treats two keyboards as if they’re the same as 1 keyboard.</li><li>If using Parsec or Remote Play Together, you can play with friends easily with them using their keyboard over the internet, which controls the host over the internet.</li><li>One of the frustrations with the movie sequences made for &quot;Life in World,&quot; which is the game we first made the map for: the map was too large. It was difficult and frustrating to set up port forwarding and it was difficult to find people on the huge map. This is solved in &quot;Life's a Beach&quot; mainly out of necessity.</li><li>This is mainly for people reviewing the game, but a new section has been added with a red ocean texture. This leads to a movie sequence about me talking about bleeding from going to the dentist a couple of years ago.</li><li>There is an AI you can avoid that looks similar to the Demon Tide Heartless in Kingdom Hearts 3. It's basically just a bunny firing bottles, but it hovers characteristically like Demon Tide in KH3 as it fires bottles — similar to Demon Tide in Kingdom Hearts 3. It must be a characteristic of the random behavior in Unreal Engine.</li><li>Game has 2 minutes 30 seconds worth of movie sequences, a large map, and a working multiplayer component that takes place on one screen. Comma teleports Player 1 to Player 2. R teleports Player 2 to Player 1. The game should be worth 3 dollars.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" ></h2><h2 class="bb_tag" ></h2><h2 class="bb_tag" ></h2><h2 class="bb_tag" >Steam Deck settings</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>7 720p windowed: this setting is only for Steam Deck. This setting causes glitches when used in Windows OS. Useful for using utilities like my utility Process Linux for Steam Deck. Process Linux for Steam Deck can be found in community hub discussions warning about Steam Deck support.</li><li>8 720p fullscreen windowed: this setting is only for Steam Deck. This setting causes glitches when used in Windows OS.</li><li>The multiplayer part of this game is 2-player only.</li></ul>technical features<ul class="bb_ul"><li>With in-engine movie sequences and 2 in-engine sequences without them. Load times at best and at worst are about 1.5 seconds loading in a challenge area, but loading between them is seamless. To make them instantaneous, try visiting the community discussion on hypercompression in &quot;Life's a Beach.&quot;</li><li>There is a two-player mode that takes place on one screen. Works great over Parsec and Steam Remote Play. The challenge areas are incredibly fun. It took about a day to link them to the rest of the world. If I ever add a swath of new content to the game, I'm taking 3 days to link the new content to the rest of the world — it's seriously tedious.</li><li>But anyway, there's a ton to explore, and with friends, enjoy the game.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" ></h2><h2 class="bb_tag" >Summary switch</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li></li><li>In order for Player 2 to activate movie sequences, they have to teleport you to their location when they are near one of the people that does the comedy bits.</li><li>Reaching the end of the map gives you an achievement. Listening to all 11 comedy bits and completing the 7 themed areas that unlock them in full and reaching the end of the map is currently the extent of the achievements.</li><li>The idea is to explore the map, but a friend can also follow on the same screen in local multiplayer, meaning no internet connection is required to play together. With Steam Remote Play Together, you can play with a friend over the internet. You can also use other software as well to do the same thing.</li><li>We chose to use Remote Play Together because of its support for Steam Deck. Essentially, you can drop objects on the ground that eliminate the other player’s health. They also cause you to move to the other player’s position. Those items have different collision ranges than the things you attack people with that move.</li><li>The map is large, and the movie sequences are entertaining and can be explored with a friend. With the amount of content in the game, we are selling the game for 3 dollars.</li><li>You can see a solar eclipse by activating a switch in the game.</li><li>Play local multiplayer on the same screen as friends on the same TV.</li><li>You can place things on the screen that kill instantly, or you can fire both horizontal and vertical objects.</li><li>There are 10 in-engine sequences that can be discovered:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>One about porcupine sex</li><li>The other about abortion</li></ul></li><li>The games default price is 3 dollars at the moment. we try to have as many sales as possible but this relies on us getting accepted into the many themed sales on steam.</li><li> were a small developer with no advertising which affects visibility which affects sales which affects visibility which affects sales which means we may not be able to participate in sales which could improve our visibility on steam. weve tried to enter one so far. as the reason I created a steam account was to buy things during the black friday sale when I was a kid. we should always be available during the steam winter sale. </li><li> If you play with friends, it may be worthwhile. The in-engine sequences are funny and well-animated, and there’s always a massive world to move across.</li><li>The two movie sequences are triggered by moving close to a person on the map. There is an achievement for each movie sequence and a third achievement for reaching the end of the map.</li><li>The game was originally based on Unreal Tournament 3, but those assets have now been removed.</li><li>You can now fly at ungodly speed across the map faster than Sonic. You can also discover the secret of porcupine sex with friends and explore a huge map, all on a single screen.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >developer help vita</h2>Steam Deck compatibility:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Game only works on Proton 7.0.6</li><li>If the game takes more than 30 seconds to boot, verify integrity of game files. The launching game message should take less time on Steam Deck. You may want to do this after every game update. Not sure why it happens — may be the Steam runtime.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Steam Windows 7 obsolescence</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>The game is designed with Windows 10 and 11 in mind. However, the game is DRM-free and does work on Windows 7 Service Pack 2 64-bit.</li><li>When Steam stops working on Windows 7, this game will still be launchable from the Steamapps folder without launching Steam, so you’ll always be able to play it.</li><li>Although the game is not designed around 32-bit, it makes extensive use of memory. The game can possibly be played in 32-bit — just go to binaries/32bit/udk to give it a go. 32-bit is not officially supported.</li><li>The game can be played with 1 or 2 players. Both players play on the same screen. The FOV is adjusted depending on resolution.</li><li>You don’t have to spawn your 2nd player into the game. The 2nd player spawns next to Player 1 immediately when the game starts. This uses up no resources.</li><li>If for some reason you start playing as Player 1 but want Player 2 to join you, you can press R to teleport Player 2 to Player 1, or Comma to teleport yourself back to Player 2.</li><li>The game takes place on a single screen and can be played on a single TV. 4K is recommended for multiplayer. Even 8K is, but it has not been tested. In theory, it should be a great experience.</li><li>When playing on an 8K screen, tilt the view forward so you can’t see behind you. This gives you full advantage of the fantastic field of view used for 8K.</li><li>M exits the game, mainly used as a safeguard in case someone uses the Steam Deck BAT on Windows.</li></ul>
