The day has finally arrived: Wardudes goes online!
As promised, with update 1.28 the online mode is now available!
And there's something more:
Improved crate drop locations, no more crates in the open sea!
Added different models for weapon drops and health kit drops
Fixed a bug where sometimes the character would start walking by itself
Fixed a bug where sometimes the game won't pick the dudes in the correct order
Completely reworked the bullets, now they have a more "realistic" drop, and better hit registration!
Fixed a bug where sometimes changing team colors cleared the dudes names
Fixed a bug where the drop rate was always kept to 100%
There's still a lot of cleanup to do, but I couldn't wait any longer to show you the online mode! Next friday there will be another update to fix many small issues I'm already aware of, and if you signal any issue on Discord I'll give it a look ASAP!

Wardudes Update 1.27
Hello everyone!
Thank you for patiently waiting for new updates! Things are quietly evolving!
This update is a transitional one, the only differences you'll see are the new game creation UI and a slightly different game camera behaviour (and probably some new bugs here and there, please tell us on Discord if you find any)
Despite the small difference on the outside, the inside has been completely reworked! The new code is much more flexible than the old one, and is VERY close to be ready for the online mode!

Wardudes Update 1.26
Hello dudes and dudettes!
Thank you for playing Wardudes during the first week of release, and thank you to everyone who joined the Discord server and gave us their feedback about the game!
As promised, we listened to you feedback and after just 7 days we managed to fix and tune in many aspects of the game:
Bugs/performance fix:
Improved performance when camera gets near/under water
Fixed a bug where the paracute of drops collided with trees
Fixed a bug where mines could explode during turn start, dealing no damage
Fixed a bug where explosive barrels didn't deal damage
Heavily reduced the chance of getting items to fall through the terrain by standing on them
Game balancing:
The shovel now removes 5 seconds from your timer each time you use it
Grenades now do more damage in a slightly bigger area
Tnt now does less damage in a slightly smaller area
Gunner class now has 2 barbed wire fences instead of 3
Machine gun now does 10 dmg for each bullet hit (instead of 15)
Medic syringe now heals 25 instead of 40, but doesn't end turn (can still be used on yourself)
Other improvements:
Non-controlled Dudes thrown in water are now less dumb when it comes to find land
Getting out of water is now easier
Non-controlled Dudes now automatically jump away when on top of another Dude's head
Changed the animation for when the ragdoll ends while under water (still work in progress)
Landmines can now explode when hit by a bullet

A pirate ship?!
Welcome to episode 10 of Frydudes!
Last week we worked on a cool addition on the Shipwreck map: a pirate ship!
Calling a map "Shipwreck" and leaving it without a wrecked ship would have seemed weird.... so we added a cool pirate ship!
I don't this will sail any time soon.
The whole ship can be explored, and as a little bonus we added a completely functional cannon!
Get a kill with this to be the coolest kid in game.
More of these map exclusive props will be added to other maps in the future, everyone with their cool unique interaction!

Buildings
Welcome to episode 9 of Frydudes!
We're currently adding some more spice to the Wardudes maps by adding buildings!
Buildings in Wardudes can shelter your dudes from stray bullets, but beware! They can also turn into a deadly trap if someone manages to get some esplosive inside!
Nice and cozy in there.
Obviously, like everything else in Wardudes, buildings can be destroyed and dismantled piece by piece!
Some well placed explosive goes a long way.
More buildings other than the one shown here will be added to Wardudes before lauch, get ready to break them down!

Poison status
Welcome to episode 8 of Frydudes!
You wanna mask up for this one... We're talking about poison!
Poison in Wardudes is a status that can be inflicted to the dudes, which takes a chunk of health from them each time their turn starts.
This is how a poisoned dude looks like. You don't want to look like this.
Poison can be found in environmental hazards in some maps (like a poisonous river), but can also be used as a weapon, like the gas grenade every medic is equipped with.
Let us know what you think about the works and looks of the poison status down in the comments and on Discord!

Game maps WIP
Welcome to the 7th Frydudes! Today you'll have an early look at a very basic and crucial detail for every game in this genre...
Let's look at some maps!
There's currently 6 maps that are being developed for Wardudes, each of them with a different style and with original gameplay quirks!
Today we will show you 3 of them, and the others will be featured on a future Frydudes!
Bushy hills Stroll along natural paths under the trees, climb the hills to find suggestive panoramic spots and explore the cave under the main hill. Final version might feature more greenery.
Lava canyon Thread carefully on this cavernous hot map! Rivers and lakes of lava create a challenge for every explorer, but might also turn into deadly traps for your enemy! Floor is lava taken to the next level.
Chilly flow Taint the snow with the blood of your enemy on this arctic map inspired by Hogs of War's Iceflow. How about putting some ice on those burns?
What do you think about these maps? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments and on Discord!

Story Time
This Frydudes is going to be different from the previous ones...
It's time for some storytelling!
Sit tight and grab something to snack on. It's story time.
In the middle of a hot summer night of 1969, a huge unidentified object appeared in the earth's atmosphere, and shortly after many little UFOs came out of it, approaching the White House.
Soldiers immediately opened fire on the unknown threat but all weapons were useless against these weird flying objects.
The president, still wearing his pajamas, ran out in the front yard to see with his own eyes the little UFOs touching the ground.
They were in fact aliens, with a smooth green skin and one big eye, flying with spaceships in which they could barely fit. They didn't have mouths to talk but they communicated their intentions telepathically.
The message they had was simple: "All humans will be exterminated unless they cease all war activities. You have until sunrise to stop all wars."
The president immediately ran into his office, pressed a big red button on his desk and a huge nuclear missile launched from the white house roof. The missile flew in the air for a couple of seconds until a laser beam shot from the main spaceship and hit the missile, dissolving it instantly.
"All your weapons are useless against our technology, follow our orders or face extinction"
After hearing this phrase in his brain, the president started making calls all around the world, and learned that the aliens approached all major world leaders with the same proposal.
The next day, every conflict around the world stopped.
The aliens decided to stick around just to be sure we wouldn't fall back to our old habits.
One week later all the world leaders organized a meeting to 'talk about their feelings and play cards toghether'.
That's what they said to the aliens.
They were bored, war always was their main worry (for some of them it was the only one) and even if no one ever dared to say it out loud, they LOVED it.
People killing eachother over ideologies, resources or land was their favourite form of entertainment. Every nation teaming with some against others, the economy adjusting to the state of each conflict, the media following the news on every attack, the population making arguments around it and picking sides, sometimes generating even more conflict.
They missed the caos, they felt bored and useless, and they needed a solution.
After hours of discussions they came up with a solution: war was not allowed, but entertainment on any form was, so what about transforming war in actual entertainment?
They would keep on making people kill eachother over nonsense, nations will still create their factions, the amount of money around a project like that could shape economy, the whole thing will be broadcasted on TV and the people watching will cheer for different teams and pick sides...
The only thing making it different from actual war will be that this show, like any other show, needs a name.
That was the first global meeting in human history where every participant walked out with a big smile on his face.
War was saved, and the greatest show of all time was born.
Wardudes was about to start.
