1.0.2 - Content update II - Seemingly single target weapons
When swinging an axe just doesn't quite cut it. :dorf:
1.0.2 - Content update II - Seemingly single target weapons
This content update adds three new weapons, balances many existing weapons, and adds several playability tweaks.
Weapons!
There are now 31 weapons (and 124 different attacks) in DBB! Introducing the newest additions:
Rapier
Rapier is a high-damage melee weapon and similar to the spear, but has much less area-of-hit and can't be used in the air. It is highly effective against single even-level targets, less so against a group of enemies.
Sniper Rifle
Sniper Rifle is similar to its little brother Repeater, but has much higher damage per round and doesn't apply self-knockback to its user. Its biggest disadvantage is its lack of target penetration - making its bullet stop when reaching the first target - and slower rate of fire. It's the perfect firearm for hunting single remote targets.
Teleglove
Ranged Dorf Punch. Nuff said. With three-level wave of pure REKT as a special attack
All of these three weapons have single-target oriented normal attacks, but when it's time for a special, fratricide becomes an option.
Let me know how you like these! Cheers! :identitycrisis:

1.0.1.3 - Weapon picking while attacking bug fix, new achievements
A rare, but fairly critical bug was discovered that allowed players to pick up weapons while attacking and continue the attack of the last held weapon with the newly picked one. This affected the weapons picked on top of the unarmed attack, as in that case weapons were automatically equipped instead. This is now fixed, and weapons can no longer be picked up while an attack is in progress.
Four new achievements were added too. Three of those are basic match-finishing achievements by player count, but the last one requires a dead dwarf scoring a kill after dying.
Full changelog:
Fixed a bug that allowed picking up weapons while attacking and made possible to perform unarmed attack with the picked weapon
Added four new achievements: Two bros, Four Bros, Six Bros, and Dead dorf scoring
Dorf Punch's special attack's time between swings increased from 0.25 to 0.35 seconds
Fire Flask's special attack's time between swings increased from 1.2 seconds to 1.5 seconds; horizontal shoot force decreased a bit
Steam Trading Cards & emoticons added!
Surprise! Steam Trading cards and emoticons are now available for the players of DBB!
Currently, there are ten cards you can acquire by playing DBB, and six dwarven emoticons to unlock with badges!
Happy collecting, cheers! :dorf::identitycrisis:
1.0.1.2 - Hit blood effect tweak and other minor changes
This minor update changes the hit blood effect slightly to make it look less like a random red blob when players get hit. The dying blood effect remains untouched.
For those longing for more gore and have a hefty CPU, set the meat count in the options to the newest top value of 16 or 18.
Full changelog:
Hit (non-death) blood particle effect now looks less like a random blob
Bow's special attack's hand placement fixed (now matches the other attacks)
Added values 16 and 18 for pieces of meat option, and a performance warning
Blood effect is now shown on top of Braziers, Torches, and Vases
Antialiasing 4x is now the default
Minor game mode reordering, Overthrow duplicate removed in the game mode selection screen
1.0.1.1 - Camera tweaks, slow-on-hit to affect attack cooldowns, tile durability options (new 90% default)
Slow-on-hit attacks are now more usable: the slowing attacks now affects the target's attack cooldown replenishing as well, slowing the opponent's hit frequency. Before this update, the effect only slowed down the movement speed.
There is now also an option for controlling the durability multiplier of tiles/stage objects, and the default was set to 90%, meaning tiles bit less durable.
* Post-update: After uploading this build, I added a few camera tweaks and an option for changing Dorf Ball score to win, the version number is still the same *
Full changelog:
On-hit slow effects now slow down the weapon cooldown speed as well in addition to the movement speed
Damageable objects (tiles) by default now have 10% less hit points
Added an option for controlling the tile hit point multiplier (from 50% to 200%), doesn't affect overtime-dealt tile damage
Mallet's upper attack's upper knockback increased a bit
Halberd's main attack's forward knockback decreased a bit
Shovel's main attack's target speed reduction on hit increased from 10% to 20%
Unarmed's lower attack now applies a speed reduction of 20% to opponent for 1.5 seconds
Falling lava length in Scaffold and Shrine stages increased
Pixel screen kill text color made a bit more blue, suicide text less bright
Camera now follows the targets too high up (by clamping its vertical position) instead of just ignoring them once they pass the threshold
Fixed banner sometimes showing through the pixel display's pixel corners
Dorf Ball's score goal to win a round can now be adjusted in the options (1-10), default set to 3
