+A multiplayer action game with pong-like mechanics (in early development).
 
-Paddle Battle is a hobby project of mine. It's my first dive into game development, and I've been really enjoying it so far. I mostly just add/edit stuff that I want to add/edit. I do want the game to eventually have items/powerups, maps/gamemodes, online multiplayer, and some type of singleplayer experience, among other things.

 With that being said, I hope you find enjoyment in Paddle Battle. Any feedback, be it praise, suggestions, or criticisms, is greatly appreciated.

-Your objective is to bounce balls off of the enemy paddle's back side, causing them to lose health. How you do this is up to you. Whether you want to send a flurry of balls at your foes in the hopes that they'll be overwhelmed, or send a few calculated shots that precisely deflect around the map, one thing is for certain: you are a paddle. And this is Paddle Battle.

-## Next update - 0.4.0 (ETA December 2020)
+## How to play over LAN
 
-0.4.0 will introduce online multiplayer via a unified experience, similar to how a game like Duck Game handles multiplayer. For example, you can have multiple people playing on a computer that is hosting a session with other computers.
+0.4.0 introduces online multiplayer. By enabling the Open to LAN option and pressing play, you will act as the host. Others will connect to you by simply typing in your IP address and pressing join. This works without any additional setup over your network (including VPNs like Hamachi or Tunngle), but if you want to play with people who aren't in the same network, you have to port forward with the port used by Paddle Battle (8910).
 
-Some multiplayer features like client-side prediction/interpolation and lag compensation might not be included in the 0.4.0 release, but instead in a 0.4.x patch.
+Regardless of whether you are on the host machine or a client machine, you can have multiple people playing on your device as long as there is room available. For example, 2 people on the same computer can play with 3 people on a different computer. Each additional player on the same device will have the same in-game name followed by a number to differentiate between them. If you want to leave (if you are on a client) or end the game (if you are on the host), you can do so by pressing Escape.
