Friday Update #3
Hi, Gurrites! It's time for another Friday update log! The past couple of weeks we've been focusing our efforts on implementing an in-game voice chat system and creating some game modes ready for our release! We also settled on a much more reliable server host and are working on implementing the ability for anyone to start a server at any time and have the server be hosted on Devster networking!
Since last week, we:
Implemented in game voice chat
Further improved networking lag, specifically on thrown weapons
Implemented Discord Rich Presence
Made good progress on the CTF gamemode by adding grabable flags and capture zones
Once again, we'd like to take the time to thank you for your patience and dedication while we develop Gurrah!
Happy Holidays. We wish you all a happy new year! -Devster
Friday Update #2
Friday Update Log #2
Hey Gurrites! Apologies for the inconsistent updates. Since our last update log, we've been been focusing on dedicated servers for the game and P2P connections. We've managed to reduce latency and will continue to do so as a high priority moving forward. Besides that, we've been constantly pushing updates to the game and cleaning everything up ready to make some main game modes. We've implemented a working server browser, we've updated some sounds and we've been doing a whole lotta polishing!
We've also done some work on weapon balancing and would love for you to express your opinions on this as well as any other opinions on the game whether you've played the game or not.
Finally, we're working on creating a public, coherent roadmap detailing our current and future plans for the game's development community. We hope this will allow you to express your opinion on an upcoming feature or idea before it's implemented.
Happy Slashing, Devster
Friday Update #1
- Fixed stuttering issue in locker room caused by edited reflections - Mirror is now disabled by default - Adjusted the way damage is calculated from distance traveled / speed - Added more haptic effects and updated existing files - Started work on Dragon animation
August 3rd Test
Hey everyone! This is just a reminder that we'll be holding our main monthly test soon! We'll be fighting in the recently improved arena and testing gameplay and game structure! As usual, we will have the servers up and running and members of staff will be on hand to resolve any issues.
Hope to see you there!
Today is the day!
Hello, everyone! This is just a reminder that today is the test day for this month! The servers should be ready for some intense battles. This month, we'll be holding two sessions this month so that people have a higher chance of making at least one of them. We hope to see you all there!
Beta Test Recap
The test held today was a massive success! Thanks to everyone who was able to attend and make the session as fun as it was! We played some normal sword fights, hide and seek and sardines in the jungle and "Airlock Wars" towards the end! ːsteamhappyː Props to the new hide and seek champion: SoulFoxGaming for beating all of us multiple times in hide and seek! We look forward to holding more test sessions with all of you!
