As we said in December — 0.10 was going to be a movement rework and a tweak to the core mechanics. 5 months later we have the update ready. We know this was a long wait, but we think it was necessary. Expect next updates to arrive more often.

As we said in December — 0.10 was going to be a movement rework and a tweak to the core mechanics. 5 months later we have the update ready. We know this was a long wait, but we think it was necessary. Expect next updates to arrive more often.

This update was mostly for the back-end but we also have some visible changes:

  • Reworked Player movement
    Added Stamina allowing players to Sprint (Shift key) for a 25% speed boost. Players will now accelerate faster. Jump got completely overhauled (Space key). Mini-jump is available while on top of a climbable tile (costs 50 Stamina points).
  • Networking overhaul for player movement, shooting & tiles
  • Reworked Mobs
    Mobs now work with spawners, allowing editors to change how many spawn from one tile (capped at 10)
  • New Mobs:
    • Orb of Lightning (Flying, very high speed, very high health)
    • Zombie (Walking, very low speed, very high health)
