1. Fixed server issues, allowing players to freely connect and survive with friends in the world of Doomsday

2. Added hardcore mode, players can press the button \[L] to open Bodycam. After opening, it cannot be closed. To close it, players need to return to the lobby and re-enter. Bodycam will automatically close after death

3. The map boundaries have been adjusted, and now players can quickly move to the other end of the map through the bridges and corridors on the outside of the map, making the driving experience of the vehicle better

4. Fixed several bugs

Hi everyone! Thank you all for the great support the past weeks while I was on holiday! The most asked questions on different sites are about why I am using Proton and why I, at the moment, am only making this game for the Steam Deck. I talk about it in this new mini devlog where I explain why I made these choices, but in short it is the following reply I wrote earlier:

I am a Windows programmer by trade and with proton it just works on the Steam Deck. Why not use it if it works?

Also with handheld gaming becoming more popular and also Windows aiming for it I might want to make it available for those in the future. Maintaining only one branch is in that sense way easier.

Sure the game can already be played on other devices now, but I cannot guarantee how it will run on different hardware.

That is why I only support the Steam Deck as a device to play Game With Balls on :)

My Discord server is now also updated for my game development projects and other things! Join the conversation there or in the discussion page on Steam.

Thank you all and see you soon!

I'd KILL YOU as a Worm can now be played on Linux and SteamOS so you should be able to start worming your way through your garden on your steamdeck! (although that hasn't actually been fully tested yet)

This update also brings the game onto the Godot 4.4 engine to make it just that much better! happy worming and keep climbing
