3 NEW GUNS, ABILITY SYSTEM OVERHAUL & MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO HUNGER GAMES (1.19)
(1.) NEW WEAPONS + WEAPONS REBALANCING
PRESSURE WASHER
Intruducing the pressure washer! This modified pressure washer shoots paint and deals constant tick damage as long as your crosshair is on your enemy. It's a lot of fun to use and fairly powerful once you get the hang of it.
AKIMBO PISTOLS
This one's been really well requested... it shoots in bursts of 2 and deals very heavy and accurate damage (but is a bit slow)
STICKY MINE LAUNCHER
A few updates back when I was adding the teleporter, I was playing around with the idea of a mine launcher. I really liked the idea, so this update I'm introducing the mine gun!
It's fully automatic
6 mine barrel
Mines stick to walls or other players
Explode after 1s
Excellent in tight spaces
AK IMPROVEMENTS
I've added a sight to the AK (increases accuracy)
GAS GUN REWORK
The current version of the gas gun wasn't true to my original vision for the gun, or to how you guys probably expected it to work. It only did damage in a straight line and was really inaccurate. So to make it feel more like 'gas', I've made some improvements.
It now damages over an area (sort of like a shotgun)
I've buffed the damages over distance, though it still will do most damage when you're close to the enemy
WEAPON REBALANCING
It felt like you died too fast, so I've rebalanced all the weapons so you effectively have ~ 2x more health
I also noticed that you'd get shot a lot from behind (which isn't fun), so I made some improvements to make it clearer when you get hurt (see: Polish and bug fix below)
(2.) RANKING CHANGES
You'll now rank up faster, added 3 more ranks
(3.) GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMTS
ABILITY OVERHAUL
As many of you pointed out, having only one ability equipped at once was king of limiting, so I've reworked the ability system this update.
Theres now two ability classes: passive and active
Active abilities are those that recharge on kills, such as the dash, turret or invisibility, and passive abilities are ones that are always charged, like the jetpack, grapple hook, speed boots etc.
You'll now be able to equip both at once, which should allow for more combinations and even better movement
MOVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS
Jumping felt too 'airy', so I made some improvements to jumping and the fall speed
You can fall to the ground faster by holding your slide key (ctrl)
(4.) HUNGER GAMES REWORK
Thank you for your feedback on the hunger games mode last update! I've made some improvements to the mode in line with your ideas.
The game is now more of an elimination, when you die, you'll now be able to spectate other players until there's only one player left and the game restarts
Above: the new spectator mode
I've also made the following fixes:
Improved the gun picking up in Hunger Games
Fixed the hunger games spawn cam
Fixed out-of-map bugs on the Island map
Hunger Games will also have the new guns added in this update!
Polish and bug fix
The Health bar now flashes red to make it clear when you're getting hit
Changed the colour of the damage direction indicator to red
Fixed a bug that caused the poison gun sound to play continuously non-stop for other players
Fixed armoury weapons order to match their unlock order in ranks
New banana gun shoot SFX
Removed capture the cow mode
Added icons for the base location in Capture the Flag
Fixed a bug that caused you to be placed in a separate lobby from everyone else if you were max rank
HUNGER GAMES, ARMOURY IMPROVEMENTS & NEW MAP
Hello again!
Here's this week's mega content update :)
(1.) HUNGER GAMES + TROPICAL ISLAND MAP
I've added a new hunger games mode!
Here's how it works
Everyone starts with a spoon
You can open chests to get other guns
There are no abilities or modifiers
If you die you just respawn, and there's no time limit. I did this because I don't think it'd be fun waiting for everyone else to die, and because people die really fast in this game. I'm open to suggestions though if you'd like some kind of 'elimination' kind of gameplay!
(2.) ARMOURY IMPROVEMENTS
In the armoury, unique gun modifiers are now displayed as an icon beneath the weapon description
(3.) NO PLAYERS IMPROVEMENTS
From now on, when there are no other players in a map, explosive bots will spawn while you wait for more players to join.
(4.) BUG FIXES
Fixed the same map being listed multiple times in the custom games menu
The text on the ability UI now reflects the keybinding you have for that ability
Fixed some other out-of-bounds glitches
The ability randomiser powerup should no longer clip into the ground
COW MODIFIER, ASSISTS AND POLISH (1.17)
Hello again! I'm working on making the game more friendly for beginners, so the past few updates have been centred around polish and incremental improvements.
Here's the key features new in this update:
(1.) COW MODIFIER
I've brought back the capture the cow minigame... this time to FFA!
Here's how it works:
One player starts with the cow
When holding the cow, you heal 15 HP every 2 seconds, making you a TANK
If the player holding the cow is killed, it is transferred to the killer immediately, and they now hold the cow
Sounds pretty stupid, but it's fun to play
(2.) KILL ASSISTS
It could get frustrating having your kill stolen by others and you wouldn't get anything for it. Now if you damaged another player, and they were then later killed by another player, you will get an assist (your crosshair will turn blue) and you will get 5 points.
Assists also display in the Profile and ingame leaderboard now
(3.) CAPTURE THE FLAG IMPROVEMENTS
If the enemy dies with your flag, you can now touch the dropped flag to return it to your base
(4.) POLISH AND EXPLOIT FIXES
Right clicking now explodes the orange instantly
Fixed a bug with power-ups not working
Got 6 people from our discord community to narrate the tutorial to their language!
Fixed dashing out of the map, and beneath the floor
When you rank up, the "Armoury" button now goes to the weapon you just unlocked
Fixed map player counters in the map select
Improved the menu tutorial
Fixed a bug with the invisibility timer UI not showing
Fixed issues with the map vote
Fixed bug with team colors in Teams/ CTF
Fixed translations being clipped off in foreign languages
Improved the shop
POWER-UPS, MATCH TIMERS, NEW CHALLENGES & EXPLOIT FIX (1.16)
Hello again! I'm working on making the game more friendly for beginners, so the past few updates have been centred around polish and incremental improvements.
Here's the key features new in this update:
(1.) MAP VOTES // GAME TIMERS
Match timers have now been reintroduced in FFA. This will solve two problems:
The only map with players always being dunes, and maps like Spoon Factory or Anubis being empty
Most people will now play in the same match, but we'll be able to cycle through different maps
[I](Above), the new 'recommended map' UI in the map selector, which shows you the map with the most players
(2.) POWERUPS
On death, players now have a 25% change of dropping a random power-up. This should encourage people to move around the map more! Power-ups include:
Ability recharge
Weapon fire rate & reload boost
Heal
Ability randomiser
(3.) NEW CHALLENGES
Added 6 new daily challenges for y'all. Enjoy!
(4.) TRANSLATIONS
I've been playing around with Google Translate and GPT4, all text in the game COMPLETELY translated to other languages <*>If you'd be willing to be the narrator the tutorial in your language (~3-4 minutes of lines), DM me on discord and I can gift you coins and DLCs for free as a thank you!
(5.) DASH CHANGES // EXPLOIT FIX
Over the past month, I've heard your reports of out-of-map/ inside object glitches with the dash. This along with being killed by the 'World' is now fixed.
I've also made some improvements to the dash
Dashing is now more consistent— you no longer dash further in the air than you do on the ground
You dash a bit slower, but further now; this is in response to people asking it to be nerfed
I haven't seen many people using the Grapple, honestly, I'd recommend using it if you're reading this
(6.) NEW KILL SFX // UI
I've heard your feedback on the SFX, and I've put together some killer new sounds for killstreaks.
Also, the UI for kill streaks now goes up to 10 (X) and the sound goes up to 15.
BUG FIX
If I listed the number of bugs I fixed, this report would realistically be twice as long, here are the 2 main things
Your weapon skins are now synced in third person for others to see
Fixed a spinning bug when plugging in a controller.
BUG FIX, HEALTH REBALANCE AND POLISH (1.15)
Hey!
It's still peak exam time for me, but I thought I'd come out with a pretty big bugfix update for y'all.
Health Rebalance
It felt like you die too fast from automatic guns so I've made some balance changes:
I don't understand why some people cheat, it literally makes the game less fun for you by removing skill.
There's now a ban and report system. Bans are irreversible. Falsely reporting players will get you banned also.
Bug fixes
<*>Fixed Capture the Flag
Fixed a crazy shotgun and ACR bug that caused the sound to play rapidly
Added tracers to the minigun
Ingame playtime tracking fixed
Bush, tree and dodge skins are now fixed in teams (didn't display colours previously)
Fixed bugs with the coop minigame <*>The gun you're up to in gun game now persists between rounds
Round length increased (45s —> 120s)
Fixed a bug that caused the leaderboard to reload each time you respawned
Added a preview of your gun + skin + hat in the menu :)
More clear damage FX
Added more translations. Daily challenges are now translated.
Fixed a bug that turned maps black <*>Fixed stickers
Improved the tutorial & translated
Fixed a bug with equipping gun skins in the armoury
More armoury QoL improvements
Fixed a bug where you could shoot with invincibility
Network fixes
ARMOURY, GUN GAME & MINIGAMES UPDATE (1.14 - Part 1)
This is the first of a two part update— in the second part I'll be adding weapon inspect animations and some more game modes (potentially)
Weapon Skins
I've heard your feedback and a lot of you seemed to want the ability to customise your guns!
My friend Juan and I have been putting together 9 new gun skins over the past week. There's:
Galaxy Set (AK, Kingfisher)
Futuristic Set (Kingfisher, Frenzy, Sniper)
Scrolling Rainbow Set (Kingfisher, AK, Frenzy, Sniper)
Of course, the slate carbon fibre gun wrap skins still also work
AK
ACR
Launcher
Frenzy
Banana gun
Sniper
It's now possible to toggle skins with a new UI in the armoury
3 New minigames
Added 3 new minigames to all free-for-all maps!
Gun game
Each kill = new gun
Start off with a frenzy, and work your way up to a poison gun and the no longer unlockable Snowball Machine Gun!
Infinite abilities
All your abilities are infinite in this game mode. This means infinite heals, jetpack, dashes, etc.
Coop
Work to eliminate explosive bots that spawn around the map! The more players in a lobby, the more bots are spawned. Great for XP as well :)
Other
Various fixes and improvements
Paint Warfare Hotfix (1.13.1)
Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused the fire sound to keep playing if you sprinted
Lag optimisation
Fixed the jetpack
Improved the glider SFX
HANG GLIDERS and Content MEGA UPDATE (1.13)
This update's focus was to add as much new content as possible, improve translations and polish up the game.
Enjoy!
Gas Gun (Rank 13)
Everything is legal in Paint Warfare.
This is why I've introduced the gas gun.
Deals tick damage
Damage decreases with distance from the enemy
Generous amount of ammo
Overall its a very powerful weapon,— but it's only good at close range and requires a lot of tracking to keep your crosshair over your enemy.
Armoury Improvements
I've cleaned up the armoury and improved the usability of hats and costumes.
Buying hats has been moved to the shop
Select hats by dragging the hat options at the bottom
Added 3 new hats
FREE Daily Coins: New Shop UI
You now get 10 coins daily on top of daily challenges
You can now purchase a 3-hour XP boost with coins. This stacks with the supporter boost and the 2x XP game mode
Glider
Added a new ability: the glider
If you've ever played Minecraft it feels fairly similar to that
Double press space to fly
You can climb slowly by looking up
Point the glider down to pick up speed
Translations
Improved all translations. The game is now fully translated to
Polish
Russian
Spanish
French
Dutch
German
Bug Fixes
Fixed the out-of-bounds glitch
Fixed a bug with costumes
Network and performance improvements
Paint Warfare GUNS & GAMEPLAY UPDATE (1.12)
Hello again!
This update I wanted to focus on adding some new unique weapons & polishing up the gameplay. There are a number of fixes and changes in this update so it's worth reading through :)
New Weapons
TELEPORTER
Introducing the teleporter!
Fire a cosmic orb with left-click, and right-click at any time to teleport to it. This gun should open up some awesome new gameplay opportunities, especially in terms of movement and strategy.
Unlocks at rank 11.
BURST
Sturdy and reliable; knock out enemies with Paint Warfare's first burst weapon!
Pre-unlocked for everyone.
RAILGUN CHANGES
Increased the fire rate of the railgun to be faster than the sniper
Increased the knockback of the railgun (this can be a good thing)
Added a slight charge delay before firing the railgun to make it more challenging to use
Overall, if you have it unlocked, I've differentiated the rail gun more from the sniper, and it'll now give you an advantage over the sniper provided you are able to master it.
Butter Smooth Connection
I've done a lot of optimisation to the net code, so the game uses ~60% less bandwidth now.
What this means is
Lower ping
Less lag, disconnects and stuttering
QoL and Polish
Gun type is now displayed in the killfeed
DOUBLE YOUR FPS: On macs or high-resolution monitors with this new resolution option
Added some more names to the credits
Bug fixes
Fixed an exploit where you could switch to your secondary in spoon only
Improved the syncing of gunshot sounds (like the minigun)
Removed floor is lava from all FFA maps; it will now only be available in team deathmatch
New SFX for lava
Above lava respawn points during the floor is lava game mode
Fixed team spawns in Factory
Fixed player counters in the menu
Development Update: FIXED Paint Warfare Connection Issues (1.11.5)
Hello everyone.
Thanks for reporting connection bugs with yesterday's patch, these should all be fixed now.
Connection Fixes
Fixed players stuttering and freezing
Fixed a bug that caused the game to lose connection to the server, where shooting would not work
Various other improvements
Note
There will now be a slight delay when eliminating enemies, this is normal while I'm reworking the prediction system
Other Improvements
The buttons in the map select will now click
Visual improvements to the rank-up screen
Tutorial level improvements
Thank you for your patience! Head to our discord server if you have any suggestions or questions. Enjoy the update!
