2024:
Uncategorized
This is for the dry spell in which I didn’t update this post
- Votekicking is gone
- Added more bugs and a few badges
- Server size is now 32 for the chaos, and the game is less laggy cause I removed like half the parts in all the maps, hopefully that should be good
- Also fixed meteors and possibly stuff being frozen for like 2 minutes when stuff gets exploded
- Made it so rain doesn’t slow you down as much, removed rain (and lightning) from pvp maps, and made it so standing near to a wall will cancel out the rain effect, so you no longer have to make a proper roof. Slightly decreased lightning rate.
