Hey everyone!

If you missed the livestream, it'll be soon available on our Youtube channel at https://youtube.com/tinybuildgames

We had an incredible PRE-PAX night full of announcements and mystery! I am writing this before the actual event happens, so I have no idea if we'll make it into cringe compilations yet. Fingers crossed!

So let's run through the news.

Yes, it's true. It's happening.

If you're at PAXWest this weekend in Seattle, be sure to checkout our large booth right next to the Indie Megabooth. We have a very special Secret Neighbor and Graveyard Keeper sections, alongside your favorite Totally Reliable Delivery Service and the games listed above.

In case you're wondering, you will indeed be able to play Graveyard Keeper in an actual coffin.

A while ago Casper has been experimenting with bounce pads. With the workshop competition going on now we figured this would be a great time to make it available in the level editor.

Casper made a demo map to showcase some ways you can use bounce pads. We're excited to see what you can come up with!

Good news everyone! We finally launched SpeedRunners on iOS.

It runs on iPhone 6S or newer, and has been rebuilt for the touch-screen.

Let us know what you think!

Surprise! We're back with another free update!

Today, we're introducing a whole new mechanic in the world of SpeedRunners, and we couldn't be more excited about it.
Up until now, there have always been two main mechanics in the game; items and boost. In this update, we're adding a third - boostacokes!
This iconic drink, as promoted by Speedrunner himself in New Rush City's famous nightclub, is able to change the whole dynamic of a match.

Here's how it works:

• pick up boostacokes to increase your maximum speed
  
• each boostacoke increases your speed by a few percent
  
• collect up to 10 boostacokes in total
  
• you drop a few boostacokes if you get hit by an explosionz

And that's not all! To test this new feature, we added a new official map with corresponding theme called 'Laboratory'.

Let us know in the comments below, on Discord or via Twitter what you think about the new map and mechanic. If you like how boostacokes change the dynamic of a match, we might add them into existing maps as well!

It has been almost a year since the last ELO season. It's about time to figure who are the best SpeedRunners players right now!
The ELO Christmas Season will run for a month from December 17th 2018 until January 20th 2019.
The season will be followed by a tournament where the top 16 players can show off their skills to the world and we will end up with one final season winner!



Season rewards:

• All players who will participate will get their league's Christmas Season Badge.
  
• All players in diamond league will receive a special Christmas themed trail.
  
• The top 16 players of the season can participate in a tournament organised by Lewis, Comment, Takumi, Kernelpad and Distinct Madness from the Discord SpeedRunners community.

The ELO rules are the same as the previous winter season. More information will follow about the tournament later.

Happy Holidays!

Last Sunday, August 26th, marked the 5 year anniversary of SpeedRunners launching on Early Access. In the spirit of Early Access, we’re releasing an update that breaks the game, literally. We call it ‘SpeedRuiners’.



With this modifier, explosions (caused by Rockets, Bombs and Fireballs) will destroy the level geometry - creating shortcuts, opening up new routes or simply just breaking the whole level.



We recommend you turn on triple rockets and simply enjoy the chaos.



(On a serious note: obviously this modifier breaks the game, so it will only be active in quick and custom matches (not in ranked). We’ll turn it off after a couple of days, after which the modifier will be available as a custom game option).

Finally, we’d like to thank all of you who have played our little game over the past five years. We’re grateful for your support and we hope you’ve had some fun with the game! Stay tuned, because we’re working on a new update that will impact the way the game is played in a major way.

We're super excited to announce that we've just released the first of our upcoming free updates; the Team Update!

This addition adds TEAMPLAY to SpeedRunners. You can now play 2v2, as well as 2v1v1. Simply pick a teammate in the lobby and you're good to go! Here’s how it works:

• Teammates share their boost bars
  
• Teammates can swap their items
  
• Score 4 points as a team to win

Additionally, we've just released a new character pack as DLC! It has four new characters that you can play as; Showtime, Cannon Fyodor, Diamond Diva and Dashwell!









More details here!

NB: the update is completely free, you do not need to buy the DLC to access the teamplay features.

Enjoy!

We all know that speedrunning is about two things; SPEED and RUNNING. But which of the two is more important? Is the competition all about getting the highest SPEED, or is it one’s skill in RUNNING that ultimately decides the winner of a race?

That’s a question that’s been creating quite a controversy in New Rush City, where two opposing factions have formed; TEAM SPEED and TEAM RUNNING. “For sure it’s all about speed”, says Buckshot, spokesmammal of team speed. “I mean, you win races by being the speediest of runners - it’s called SPEEDrunners for a reason!” Gil wholeheartedly disagrees, saying “you can’t get speedy without running first. It’s obviously pronounced speedRUNNERS!”.

As the emotions are heating up between our speedy heroes, it’s become clear that each and every one of us must pick a side. So, which side are you on; team SPEED or team RUNNING? Decide quickly, because ON JULY 19th WE’LL BE RELEASING THE TEAM UPDATE!

This (free) update will add TEAMPLAY to speedrunner matches. You’ll be able to play 2v2, as well as 2v1 or 2v1v1. Pick a teammate and pick a team (team speed or team running) and work together to win races! Here’s what we’re planning:

• Teammates share their boost bars
  
• Teammates can swap their items
  
• Score 4 points as a team to win
  
• Coming July 19th!

Alongside this completely free update, we’ll be releasing a new character pack as optional DLC. This pack will add 4 new runners to the roster, which we will talk more about in the upcoming weeks.

Winter is coming, the jolliest ELO season of the year! The Elo Winter Season will start a bit early, Monday December 18th 2017 and will run throughout the entrie winter until March 20th 2018.

It has been more than half a year ago since we last did an ELO season, so here is a link to an announement to get you up to speed.

By the end of the season everybody who participated will gain the Winter ELO Season badge of the league tier you ended up in by the end of the season.

All players that are in Diamond league by the end of the season will get the unique Snow trail which will be the only way to ever get this trail in your inventory.



Based on what we have learned during the ELO Beta Season we made some changes for the Winter ELO Season:

In the previous season certain close games could give as few as 1.5 points or something underwhelming like that. More points are given this season, but the league requirements also have gone up!

During last season the best tactic was pretty much to reach Diamond league and not play anymore after that. Furthermore if you had not played for a while the system would assume your skill level was still the same. If you don't play on average 1 game per day over a period of 14 days in the Winter Season you will start losing 100 points every day.

The start of previous season was pretty rough for a lot of players because players of all skill levels started with the same ELO rating. For the Winter Season we use the ratings from the previous Beta season to offset the initial rating a bit. This way the matchmaking system can actually find matches of your skill from the very start.

We hope you will enjoy the season.

Happy Holidays,
