Release notes

1. 9eb21dd2026-09-14
   • Type your name in the start menu before you join. The game remembers it for next time.
   • Your name shows when you kill someone ("Killed by ..."), on the leaderboard (Tab) and above your head for other players.
   • Names can have letters, numbers, spaces, _ and - (up to 16). If two players pick the same name, the second one gets a number.
   • When a new update comes out while the game is open, a message at the top of the screen tells you to close the game and update in the launcher.
   • Stones are solid now: you can't walk through them, and arrows and fireballs hit them.
   • Trees only block at the trunk, and exactly where you see it: arrows stick in the bark instead of in the air next to it, and you can walk right up to a tree.
   • Bushes block much closer to their leaves.
   • Kobolds walk around stones instead of through them.
   • Punch with empty hands: left click punches, left and right hand in turn.
   • A punch does 15 damage to players and kobolds right in front of you.
   • Kobolds now carry a wooden club.
   • Hit a kobold and it screams: all kobolds come after you and club you (10 damage a hit). They give up once you have killed 6 of them, or when you die.
   • Sprinting is a bit slower: 40% faster than running instead of 70%
   • Running footsteps are louder and loop without a pause
   • No more clack at the end of drawing the bow
   • The bow makes a sound while you draw it again; no whoosh when the arrow flies
   • Kobolds squeak when hit and scream when they die
   • No more creaking while drawing the bow (a better sound comes later)
2. 8351a712026-09-14
   • Hold Shift to sprint (70% faster)
   • The fireball does 60 damage, arrows up to 30
   • The bow creaks while you draw it, and the running sound can actually be heard now
   • Sharper picture: no motion blur, moving things don't smear any more
3. 4f4b51c2026-09-14
   • The fire spell casts twice as fast, and the fireball is twice as big
   • The shield is ready again after 1 second
   • Sounds: running footsteps, the bow's twang and a hitmarker when your arrow hits
   • Kobolds have small health bars, and the health bars above other players are smaller
   • The match starts as soon as one player joins
   • Far away things aren't washed out by fog any more
4. 6f4a1252026-09-14
   • Kobolds: 15 small green creatures run around the map; they're harmless, but you can hunt them
   • The leaderboard (Tab) has a Kobolds column
5. 91f883f2026-09-14
   • Arrows are twice as big and don't glow any more
   • Press E at another weapon to swap: the one you hold drops and you pick up the new one
6. ffdf1342026-09-14
   • Bows in their spots look right now (no more grey block)
   • Arrows are easier to see: bigger, brighter and with a glowing trail
   • Arrows stay stuck where they hit for a minute
   • No more debug text on the screen
7. dc4a4542026-09-14
   • Archers: bows lie next to three of the book spots; press E to pick one up
   • Hold left click to draw the bow and let go to shoot; the longer you draw, the faster and harder the arrow
   • The book's shield also sends arrows back
8. 3b7bd5b2026-09-14
   • The shield is up while you hold right click, for at most half a second; let go and it's gone at once
   • The shield can be used again 2 seconds after it went down, and it has no bar any more
   • No more debug text above the players
9. 119bd7d2026-09-14
