Build 2865 - First Patreon Heads, Map Updates, and more
This build is a small juicy grab bag of miscellaneous changes since last build.
No mouse required!
As a result of the voting in #mapcycle, 2 maps are returning to CTF from the pool, and 2 maps are being returned to the pool.
IN: 8x_PorkBuns, JTG_FirstBadlands
OUT: Oodle_Stonethrow, Radioactive_Dahill
There are also a handful of small CTF map balance changes (more details here). Thanks to everyone who voted and to the folks involved with applying all the changes!
We've also built the infrastructure required to get Round Table Patrons their custom heads. We'll be reaching out over patreon and discord to get your head files game-ready. If you missed the news, you can support the game on patreon and get access to heads packs, fancy capes, and custom heads over here!
There are some quality of life changes and fixes, including:
Quick swapping class at the tent - just tap the button, like you would for quick-swapping bomb and arrow types, very useful in tight tdm situations.
Drill "startup" time inconsistency fixed
"file not found" spam in the console fixed for servers
Functions that are specific about what angle units they take for modders
Linux chat position fix
Recent tournament accolades updated
see the changelog for more!
As always, if you'd like to be involved with #democracy or #mapcycle voting, become more a part of the community, or want to get involved in #development - you're welcome in the official discord server!
Have Fun!
Max

Build 2858 - First Patreon Features, Road to Free to Play - Plus Bounties, Features, Tweaks and Translations
Hey Folks!
You can now support the game through Patreon over here!
We're excited to bring you the first build with Patreon features! :kag_yes:
We've been working towards unveiling this for a while and we can't wait to hear what you think.
Some features are still a little rough, but the bulk of the lower tier patreon features are there:
Royal Guard Cape Armour Set (available in customisation settings)
Extra Head Packs (Also Available as Steam DLCs)
Priority Join (2 "Above Capacity" Slots for Supporters)
Exclusive Discord Roles + supporter-only channel
Still to come is the custom heads for top-tier supporters, and making sure the integration is production ready - but we won't know the latter until we've tested it at proper volume! :kag_smile:
Free to Play is coming!
This build is part of the march towards a Sustainable, Open, F2P KAG that has been happening behind the scenes.
F2P should significantly increase the accessibility of the game and help the player population. All current paid players will retain all current access, all Steam DLC will continue to function, and there will NOT be pay to win microtransactions - nothing to fear :kag_flex:
More info on that soon as details are worked out! There's an overview of our current plans on the patreon page for those interested.
Business as Usual - More Improvements
This build also contains several bounty, feature, tweak and translation changes, with more on their way soon!
A quick overview (check the changelog for full details):
Updated Accolades for recent Community Tournaments
Player Heads in Scoreboard to ease identification of players in-game
KDR always rendered to 2 decimal places
Mapcycle Cleanup is underway at the moment, with more active cycling of older maps happening through #democracy on Discord
TDM map tweaks
Spanish Translation fixes
Chinese and Japanese translations in the works (see github)
There's also a further 10 pull requests waiting on github for review before the next build, more mapcycle changes coming, and a lot of community development and discussion happening day to day. If you're not already, jump in The Official KAG Discord and get involved with #democracy, #development, #mapping and #testing!
Have Fun!

BUILD 2838 - Taunts, Emote Bindings, Siege, Kegs, Italian Translation, and Minor Fix Onslaught!
This build contains a few big ticket bounty items as well as a large number of small tweaks, fixes and improvements.
Emote Bindings
A long standing request has been the ability to rebind the emoticons on the 1-9 keys. While this has been possible with some fiddly config file editing in the past, now it has a fully fledged in-game menu for rebinding, which is instantly reflected in-game.
You can access the emote bindings through the new "bindings" sub-menu in the "esc" main menu in-game.
Taunt Menu
While the appearance is still something we're interested in improving, the taunt menu is now fully functional.
You now can quick-chat in-game using B (by default, button is bindable as always) - a radial menu will pop up with various categories of quick-chat - for both communicating with your team and taunting your enemies. The text will even go to the correct chat channel, so that enemies don't learn your plans, but they do hear your taunts!
Siege Through Platforms
Siege engines (both catapult and ballista) can now fire safely through (very close) platforms.
This allows some extra protection against arrows on towers, but also allows them to be put safely into platform-enclosed bunkers!
Keg Improvements
Kegs got some attention to make them more appealing and interesting to play with as well:
Chain reactions - kegs now set other kegs off, allowing for devastating explosions!
Fire and enemy fire arrows can light kegs, so burning enemy keg caches is an option!
Water bucket splashes deactivate lit kegs (but not water bombs/arrows, to allow existing techniques for launching kegs to still work)
Italian Translation
The Italian community, particularly Guardian-of-Irael, have contributed an Italian translation for the game. You can try this out by setting the language in misc options, same as any other language. We welcome feedback from the wider community on the quality of this translation, but thanks so much for your work on it so far!
All the rest
There are a lot of "miscellaneous" changes this build as well including fire arrow larger initial "catch" area, dinghy + sponge + fireplace + shop improvements, glitch exploits patched, map tweaks, cursor misalignment and more.
See the full changelog for details!
Thanks to the Community
Thanks to all the contributors who helped out with developing and testing these updates, and all the folks involved with #democracy pitching and voting for these changes. Special shout outs to Epsilon, Asu, Vik, Shylie, GoldenGuy, Monkey_Feats, Bunnie, Cruxiat, Coroz, and Franek.
All 4 of the big ticket items this build were developed through the community development bounty system, where we pay community devs to implement community-pitched and voted ideas. KAG is certainly becoming a community driven game, and it's wonderful to see.
If you'd like to get involved with that, be sure to join the official discord and check out kag on github! We'd love for you to get involved.
Have Fun!
Max

Build 2804 - New Maps, Tweaks, and Holiday Cheer!
This build brings a wintery look and feel to a lot of the in-game assets. It's a bit strange from down here in Australia, but honestly a pleasant enough reprieve from the heat. Don't worry, it's not permanent - we'll roll back the asset changes some time after the new year. Special Thanks to Mazey, Franek, Vamist, GoldenGuy, Ferre, and the folks who helped test it out over on discord, for their part in this cheerful event.
There'll be some extra special effects - falling snow, and periodic deliveries of presents - over the week of xmas. The exact timing will vary with the region, but it'll be hard to miss when it happens.
There's also 4 new TDM maps courtesy of the map mods and everyone who voted in #democracy. Keep an eye out for FG_SpaceInvader, Super_Gaming_Geek_Trilevel, Biurza_Cock_Fight, and Vans_Ziraeth! One of them was more contentious so if it proves problematic, we'll take it out.
A few fixes and quality of life changes have made their way over from the collaborative github as well, in the few weeks since last build. The big one is that water bombs/arrows do half the stun on hitting shielded knights, which got put through #democracy and came out positive. Check the changelog for more, and be sure to join the official discord if you'd like to take part in these polls!
Also - please welcome Epsilon as our newest internal contributor! Eps has really proven himself over the last few weeks making countless changes to many areas of the game over on github. We're looking forward to working more closely with him.
Happy Holidays everyone - See you in the new year!
Love From THD
