Gnomes Vs. Fairies
Major update coming! Need your opinions please!
So for the past year and a half I've been working on Gnomes vs. Fairies 2: Moons of Ventocia, and I've learned a lot in the process and I'm about to release a major update for Gnomes vs. Fairies that fixes a lot of what I didn't know enough to know sucked about it!
This includes the players acceleration and movement speed, a COMPLETE overhaul of the camera. (Oh how did you people put up with such a terrible camera for so long?) and many more little fixes and changes and improvements.
I will NOT be fixing the speedrunning bugs or exploits that the speedrunning community enjoys so much, but my next game you'll have a harder time, although I'm excited to see what you make of it!
My big question is this:
I'm thinking of sunsetting the online portion of the game. It's not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just the player base is way too small and I almost never see anyone else online. I just feel like it's a waste of people's time to go in and never get to see anyone.
Would anyone miss the online play I've added if I took it away?
Thanks for your input!

I've begun work on Gnomes vs. Fairies 2: The Moons of Ventocia!
You play with a party of 4 gnomes, one under your control and the other three AI.
Here's a GIF of the gameplay!

Note that those characters are CAPSULES, and all art is temporary! I'm still waiting on getting my characters back from the artist, but here is the concept art which I drew myself:

It will be set on the Gnomish Moon Colonies on Ventocia, which has many many moons!
"What?!? Gnomes in spaceships! Dano, you've gone crazy!"
You are absolutely right!

Big 2 player update today, and tall-ball world's physics are fixed!
I did a lot of work on 2 player gameplay today.
The girl gnome 2nd player is fixed now, she won't always twist her torso like a weirdo anymore.
Both players now have separate health, and some mobs aggro player 2 now, getting the rest to aggro will take quite a while so that's coming next.
Also, I redid the physics on Tall-Ball world and gave the ball a lot more friction which should make it much easier to control. I hope you try it out and let me know how it feels for you!

Groupees Be Mine bundle
the game works out of the box on Keyboard and Mouse and Xbox One controllers.
If you have other controllers or configurations, you need to map the controllers in the launcher, but the control settings are kind of a mess right now.
Here's what you should map (refer to xbox one controller for position):
Interact: xbox B button
Fire: xbox X button
Jump: xbox A button
AuxWeapon: Xbox X button
Player 1 X movement: Left joystick LR
Player 1 Y movement: Left joystick UD
Pause: "start button"
Menu: "Select" button
Switch: LShoulder Button
AuxSwitch: RShoulder Button
Horizontal_R: Right joystick LR
Vertical_R: Left joystick UD
RShoulderXbox: Right trigger
LShoulderXbox: Left trigger
DpadX: Dpad LR
DpadY: Dpad UD
For 2 player co-op:
Player 2 X Movement (analog stick)
Player 2 Y Movement (analog stick)
1_start
1_jump
1_fire
1_switch
1_AuxWeapon
I know I'm going to have a ton of customer support threads on the community and i'll do my best to get to you if you have problems, but please be patient!
My players are about to multiply by 10 probably.
For Multiplayer:
I don't know how this will affect the servers. I assume we will probably see some overloads. If you get any server full errors or any other problems, please post on the steam community!
Thanks!

Linux Steam Achievements restored!
Also, online soccer updated with a whole bunch of kicks you can do.
Also, I BELIEVE I have fixed the bug where you get stuck for a second during your sword combos. It's been haunting me for a long time and I THINK it's gone. If you can reliably get the character stuck, let me know how!! Thanks!!
Have fun!
