Version 1.4 (7/22/2023)

Added:

Quirk Attack System
Total game changer! Simply, not everybody will be able to own the same Attacks!
The intended change is to encourage teamwork and communication between players.

There are still ‘regular’ attacks that everybody can own, but there won’t be many of them and they won’t be as useful.
You can only have four (out of seven) quirks unlocked.
Quirks are specific in their purpose. They are not just ‘damage’ attacks as 90% of attacks previously were.
Quirks:

  • Bleed (damage over time)
  • Drain (damage bot+self-heal)
  • Precise (high accuracy/low damage)
  • Stun (prevents bots from attacking)
  • Trap (perfect accuracy attack when used with a stun)
  • Medic (heal other players)
  • Blitz (low accuracy/high damage)

New Effects

  • Lured
  • Flu
  • Nausea
  • Hearing Loss

New Attacks

  • Math Homework (Stun Quirk) (Affects All)
  • Race Roadster (Drain Quirk)
  • Quill (Medic Quirk)

Game Badges

  • Level 5
  • Level 25
  • Level 50
  • Level 75
  • Level 100
  • Level 125

Bots

  • Steamworks: Angry Snowman

Bot Affects All Changes

  • Previously:
    Bot picks attack that affects all players. Calculation is ran to see if the bot misses. If not, bot will run the attack on all players.
  • New:
    Bot picks attack that affects all players. Calculation to see if the bot misses runs for every player in a battle. Basically, the bots affect all attack miss your friend; but not you!

Attack Upgrade System

  • Before:
    You purchase an attack! Let’s say you to get it to a high level without upgrading it whatsoever. You go to upgrade it and now you can upgrade to the max stats instantly!
  • Now:
    You purchase an attack! You get it to a high level without ever upgrading, but you still upgrade in stages; the price will be more manageable (since you’re not paying for all at once) and now you won’t be required to fully max out that attack

Consumables

  • Pink Potion (+4 HP)
  • Purple Potion (gets rid of Effect Nausea)

Other

  • Bot “Annoy Attack” now applies Effect Hearing Loss to all players affected
  • Battle Engine optimization - recoded a lot of the framework, there should be less bugs & more content faster moving forward

Interface & VFX

  • Attack Effect on battle gui now displays duration
  • Bag Notifications: when something is added to your bag, you will be notified!
  • New VFX for when a bot slips on a trap attack

Changed:

  • Forest: new camera view for the map
  • ALL attack statistics (start accuracy, max damage, damage, etc) recalculated!
  • Bag attack info hover design & attack frame design
  • Game tutorial now takes you to the Forest with other players instead of a private server; however they can not join other battles, only create one themselves that gets locked
  • Pet Polar Bear damage 4 → 2
  • Pet Crab damage 3 → 1
  • Frost Guard apperance
  • Steamworks music track
  • Steamworks all bot HP increase
  • Notification system
  • Hunter Noob moved to the Forest from Steamworks
  • Bacon consumable accuracy 1% → 2%

Bug Fixes:

  • Big Brained Noob quest - sorry, forgot to change after I removed them :frowning:
  • Using an Affects All attack would not contribute to combo damage
  • Healing Potion glitch: when picking a player to heal and they left, would bug out
  • UI opening delay (1-2s) for the fish shop when interacting with NPC
  • Volume Bug (medium was louder than high)
  • Frost Guard heal attack would not work if the heal amount was greater than the bots max hp
  • Timer when joining a battle would not be in sync
  • Buying pets while in a battle
Version 1.3 (7/3/2023)

Added:

  • New AOE Lure Attack: Mega Magnet
  • Quest Type(s): Defeat Using X Attack & Heal
  • Storyline Quest (Boardwalk Gear Shop)
  • SideQuest (Boardwalk Lifeguard Stand - Mia)
  • Jump animation

Changed:

  • Hearts now give 1/10th of your Max HP instead of +1
  • A player hit by a guest bots “grief” attack now plays an animation instead of not
Version 1.2 (6/30/2023)

Added:

  • Attack Type Trap Buffed:
    Before:
    Placing a Trap attack (ex. Banana Peel) would not activate until you use a Lure attack type to pull the Bot in, causing damage to a Bot
    Now:
    Placing a Trap attack functions the same; however, there is a chance now that before a Bot commits an attack, that the Bot gets ‘confused’ and accidently walks into the Trap attack.
    The percentage for a Bot to be confused for the Banana Peel is 33%. The better and higher level required to purchase the Trap attack, the better the chance the Bot will be confused. If placed on Guest 666 for example, even if the boss is under Attack Immunity, they will still be able to get confused.

  • HP Bars
    Includes rank emblems for players & bots depending on Level or Bot Type, respectively

  • Storyline Quest (Boardwalk Ice Cream)

  • Setting Option (Player Name Tags: Enabled/Hide Self/Hide All)
