Unfortunately, this update does not include the new player characters (we're still waiting on new animations for them) but we will update the game with a third patch as soon as they are finished, along with the new King of the Hill mode.
Next beta update postponed until September 4th
We promised to release a beta update today in the previous dev blog, but we will unfortunately have to postpone it until the next planned update on September the 4th.
The reason why is that we are currently experimenting a lot with the controls and with how boosting should work - and we also finished the new player characters today (but need time to implement them and re-texture lances/rockets), so it makes sense to postpone the update for now.
In the meantime though, here's a video showcasing the new characters: https://youtu.be/jy2AZSHBy-M
Beta update #1 released!
Last friday we released the first beta update for Lance A Lot (sign-up here if you want to participate). Below is a short summary of the new content and changes:
New level: Oasis
New level: Barrel Roll
New mode: Capture the Flag
Reworked mode: Last Knight Standing
Balance change: Lance tip is now only lethal while lunging
Balance change: Bashing cooldown decreased from 0.75 to 0.50 seconds
Next beta update will be released on the 19th of August. More info can be found over at our dev blog.
We plan on updating the beta every two weeks, until shortly before we release the game on the 29th of September.
We usually send out keys every 1-2 weeks (but we can't send to everyone if too many people sign-up). Remember that these keys can only be used in the beta - they will be deactivated before release - so there's no point in trying to sign-up multiple times for extra keys (and we will also remove anyone who tries that).
More info about our plans for the beta can be found here.
