This is a historical moment, so we would like to celebrate it with you all, guys! A cup of tasty liquid for all!!!
Long live the King Knight!
Awe to: Verra and Vamist for working on it! Thank you guys! A cup of tasty liquid for you!
For those who didn't know the legendary bug - you can watch it here, because you won't see it again in the game: [previewyoutube="63j8UjpXoI0;full"] Thanks Bunnie for putting that video together. A cup of tasty liquid for you too!
This bug was fixed in the 3333 Build - what a great number to celebrate!
TECHNICAL INFO from Verra about this build - because there are more fixes:
This is one of the biggest code changes in KAG in the last few years.
Knight code has been almost completely rewritten to reduce animation issues (the so-called "noanims") and increase syncing.
Additionally the logic for being stunned was rewritten which will synchronize all stuns for players.
Build 3333 Change log: - All stuns are synchronized. - Shield hit sounds and particles are now synced correctly. - Knight attack state is synced (jab, slashing, charging etc). - Knights can no longer attack or shield while holding trampolines. - Stun length from water while shielding should be more consistent. - Patreon head tweaks and additions. - Private message chat colour has been tweaked to dark-ish purple. - Added PRIVCHAT console bind so you can change PM colour in mods. - Added ScaleBy(float x, float y) for CSprite and CSpriteLayer. Also does not scale by Y unlike the other ScaleBy(Vec2f) - Scoreboard spectator list background size is now the same as the scoreboard size.

Additional fixes in the next bulids:
Hotfix Build 3337
- Fixes an issue where non player bots couldn't do anything. - This issue affected save the princess and pretty much all mods.
Build 3338
- Fixed an issue where archers couldn't cancel shots properly - Fixed an issue where you didn't hear slash charging sounds if you were lagging enough - White minimap bug fixed for real this time - In the future servers will disconnect you gracefully on autoupdate
No Anims - No More!!!

BUILD 3329
Hi folks,
A small patch with some QoL is going live as we speak, with some (hopefully) final adjustments to our previous larger update.
- The new pickup system, which we partially bound to shift, can now be rebound - Spectator help text now disappears if you press the hide-help button (F1) - KAGStats.com has received another update: map appearances, vote statistics and average match length are now being recorded: kagstats.com/#/maps - Healing sound has been updated (Thanks dome!) - Beginner filter has been removed from the server browser (this should probably have been done 6 years ago) - Right clicking a user on the scoreboard now copies their username to clipboard, mostly handy for admins. - Added/updated Patreon heads for Zazaza & TheCustomerMan. Thanks to everyone keeping the game running through Patreon support!
Cheers, have fun!
Build 3323
Hi everyone,
You may have noticed we put out 3 builds after the large update last week. These were several hotfixes, to summarise: - Infinite building was fixed - Ladders falling was fixed - Cinematic camera removed until further notice
Epsilon brought us the great cinematic camera was a new spectator camera automatically tracking interesting areas and switching to relevant players. Unfortunately we are fairly certain it was causing the infrequent crashes upon dying. Hopefully this will stop the crashes and someone can narrow down the problem in the near future.
Meanwhile Verra has also been working on KAGStats.com, since launch many different features and leaderboards have been added, with more to come. Since yesterday flag captures are also being recorded.
See you on the battlefield!
BUILD 3320
Hey everybody!
This new update contains everything that we & the community have been working on over the past few months. There are multiple new additions to the game which you all should enjoy, along with plenty of new fixes & changes for modders to enjoy.
We hope you enjoy this update! ❤️ THD
Match end map vote
When a match ends, you now get greeted with a vote for the next map instead of the map randomly being picked. Many thanks to Monkey_Feats for working on this feature!
Small CTF
Small CTF has been added as an official gamemode! Some of you may remember this gamemode from a few months ago, or from this video down below. In short its CTF but with smaller maps, which results in shorter rounds and more chaotic fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L9un1sz_MM Thank you Mazey for this
Block binder
Thanks to Verrazano there is now a new hotkey selection for builder tiles, as shown below. You can access it the same as the emote binder (esc -> bindings -> Bind Builder Blocks). Once done, you can use shift + number to quickly access that block.
Better 3D mod support
There are a few changes in this update that helps out 3D modders with their mods. This first update aims to help performance with 3D mods, and more will be coming later. SMesh and SMaterial has been added, SMesh provides modders with VBO support, so drawing a static object like terrain is no longer as taxing, along with allowing you to load up custom obj (and .mtl) files. (Image contains a mesh, loaded with an .obj and .mtl file, made by Jenny. All done inside KAG) Big thanks to GoldenGuy and Jenny for testing this part of the update and working on 3D mods.

Build 3195
Hello everyone and Happy New Year!
This build contains some small balance tweaks, along with rewards for the FFA tournament that recently took place and zoom level changes!
The main thing in this update is drill changes. As much of the community has shared their opinions about drills being overpowered, we have tweaked them to see if this helps.
However, this is not a full nerf to the drill, we have given the drill some quality of life changes, like no longer decaying in water, and allowing it to cool down in your inventory. Check the changelog below to see the full list.
Andrey has taken the time to add new zoom levels, which can be accessed by holding CTRL + zooming in or out. This means that people who are used to the default 3 zoom can still do it with ease.
FFA tournaments rewards have been given out, along with accolades and some people's custom heads time being extended.
We have plenty of features and changes coming in the future, ranging from Small CTF, to revamping the music system, and more features for modders.
We hope you enjoy the update, 💖 THD
Changelog: - Added FFA tournament rewards - Extended head durations for some players - Accolades stuff updated - Christmas cheer removed - More zoom levels, which should prove helpful (hold CTRL and scroll to use them) - Mapcycle updated added Skinney_Typhoon added Skinney_Bluff removed Ferrezinhre_Highlands
- Drill changes - Default damage is still 1.0f - Heat damage is now 1.5f instead of 2.0f - Mat drop (excluding gold) is now 75% - Overheats 20/15% faster - Ignores useless blobs to prevent heat (if you mined stone while having a full inventory, your drill would heat a lot up more) - No longer decay's in water - Now cooldown while in your inventory - No longer drops more wood/stone when destroying doors (need to double-check since full heat might give you like 0 or 2 mat extra)
Hotfix #3 3090
Hey folks,
Quick update.
Changes included in this hotfix:
Added Torik's head
Added GarrettPG11's head
Cheers, Furai
Community Heads Pack and Stats Released
The Community Heads Pack is out now! Check it out on steam here!
This pack is the third cosmetic heads pack for KAG, and contains 58 unique heads for each gender, made by the community to support the game. As with all DLC, all sales go to continued development and hosting of the game.
Patreon subs of Knight tier and up also get access to this heads pack, but are of course free to buy the pack on steam too if they wish.
---
This is launching alongside the new official stats system, which has been developed as part of the community open source bounty program on github - this bounty in particular.
From Verra, the developer behind stats:
Get your game face on and get ready to show your skill!
Here's a preview of some of the stats pages as they stand. We're keeping things clean for the moment but things will likely get more kag-styled and lively over time.
Further integration including in-game stats info is coming. For now, it's awesome to have so many kills flooding into the server already, and to have an official record of bragging rights.
