Hello there,

We've just released a new update for Robot Arena Survivors.


Say hello to the new playable H.C.U.

Many thanks for all of the support lately! The wishlists, the purchases, the reviews... it means a lot!

• Implemented a brand new H.C.U. "MK-04 Bright Revenge", with its own railgun gameplay. This unit will shoot a powerful piercing round by default, with a slow rate of fire, and shoot way faster when staying steady!

• Reduced token gains when defeating an endless Elite from 8 to 5.
  
• Increased the amount of stats gained for all damage-related rewards (but Elemental).
  
• Reworked the SFX used for healing: periodic heal will be less noisy, and added a new healing SFX for single heal reward activation.

• Changed the way the upgrades were distributed for abilities: you'll now see them appear as possible rewards when reaching the ability level 5 and 10, and have the choice to take them or not.

• Fixed some translation issues.

Hello fellow mercenaries,

It has been about a month since the early access release. Join our discord to participate in our monthly developer log updates.

In addition, there are plans to release development logs on Steam whenever a significant milestone is achieved.

Other sources of updates if you are interested in keeping an eye out on the game would be our official youtube channel.

Though it will be mostly in the form of timelapse videos and not the typical developer vlog.

We will continue to work hard so that TH3-M15 Guild reach Version 1.0. Thank you for your continued support.

This patch includes the first portion of a server sharding system that will allow different areas in the tower to be controlled by different server processes, so that the overall number of simultaneous players and npcs in the dungeon can be greatly increased without performance issues. Note that within each regional server there is a single unique dungeon, so you can still control areas, contest the boss, etc. The only change is that now different server processes control different parts of the dungeon which will allow for a very large number of concurrent players.

In addition, this patch includes most of the client side features of the new ability loadout system but without the UI. Loadouts can currently only be changed via chat commands. The next patch will contain a set of prebuilt example loadouts that players will be able to switch between via chat commands. In the future loadouts will require crafting, equipping and upgrading abilities but the UI and server side code for that is still in progress.

I also implemented a number of smaller changes to the core gameplay based on player feedback from the June playtest. The most impactful of these are making the early release portion of swings blockable and adding a new "block assist" feature that will nudge your mouse input in the direction that blocks a swing of the person you are currently targetting if they are charging an attack or swinging and near you. The "block assist" is just strong enough to significantly reduce the frequency of minor input errors, most of the time you won't even realize it exists.

Finally, a significant portion of the server side system for securely managing player inventories is also functional now, but is hidden for the time being.

Changes:

• The tower entrance and the rest of the dungeon are sharded into two processes. A second sharding patch will come later this quarter that will split the dungeon itself across several processes as well.
  
• The client side loadout system is implemented but without UI.
  
• Implemented a "block assist" that makes it such that if your enemy is attacking with an overhead it is easier to block "up" and harder to block "up right" or "up left" while all 3 of the down blocks are totally unaffected.
  
• Changed the way your upper body rotation is replicated / smoothed. I think you should feel like you have significantly smoother control of your character
  
• Made attacks blockable during Swordai's equivalent of the "early release" attack phase.
  
• Fixed a bug with the overhead swing where the sword was turning off to late and you could hit someone in the shin with the recovery
  
• Made the sword turn on later when doing an overhead swing when you are looking up
  
• Changed the down left swing animation
  
• Made the up right and up left swings slightly floatier to allow for a bit more swing manipulation
  
• Added a limited turn cap effect to your camera while swinging so that people aren't confused. The "real" turn cap is enforced server side and is on your character, not your camera and that is unchanged.
  
• Completely removed the dead zone for mouse input in drag click mode at max sensitivity
  
• Starting a block cancels the hit reaction animation so if you try to start blocking shortly after getting hit it feels more responsive (shouldn't really affect gameplay too much, but might reduce partial blocks when you are getting comboed) and might make 1vX feel a bit better
  
• Added visual smoothing to the drag click direction indicator so it looks better at high sensitivities. Your actual mouse input it not smoothed, it just captures the mouse delta of the most recent frame, the change is purely cosemetic.
  
• Fixed a bug where if you got kick stunned while jumping you would hover in mid air until the stun ended.

Hello to all of our long-time Peglin players and those just joining us from this Steam Summer Sale! We’re here with a pretty big update, one that takes us very close to what we envisioned our 1.0 would look like. We’ve got our final “core game” boss and the first version of the Encirclepedia, where you can learn much more about the enemies you battle and the world of Radia!

We’re not quite at 1.0 yet: we’ve still got a bunch of minibosses, regular encounters, scenarios, orbs + relics, and the remaining Cruciball levels to add (not to mention a loooot of balance) but the game is getting there! We will also still be adding an optional, shorter Act 4 that will truly test even the strongest builds, though we’re still unsure whether this will be released in 1.0 or as a post-1.0 update.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new features and the new lore - we haven’t been able to keep up with the Steam Community Forums as much as we’d like but we are better equipped to handle feedback in our Discord so please come join us over there!

• The Encirclepedia is here! In addition to displaying your achievements it now allows you to view statistics and results from your recent runs, and to complete your own Bestiary to learn more about the creatures that inhabit Radia. Defeat enemies and collect loot to acquire research points, which will unlock enemy hints and information (including commentary on the game’s development from the team!).

Thank you all for playing! Peglin continues to be a very fun game for us to work on and we hope this update provides a breath of fresh air for those that have been with us since the very beginning. This lore of the world and its inhabitants has been bouncing around our heads for a long, long time so we’re very excited to get that into the game.

For our friends in the Northern Hemisphere we hope you have an amazing summer, and for those in the South it’s an excellent season to play games :D

Keep on bouncing,
The Red Nexus Games Team

Very small update this time around, mostly minor fixes:

1. Fixed a crash with Aphorius that can happen when an abnormally high number of minions are summoned! In general minions have now a max. number of 32 that can be summoned at a time.
2. Fixed some instances of damage received being wrongly registered.
3. Fixed a specific case with Banished items, where if you Banished an item you already had some levels on, the Boss Reward could still grant you levels for that Banished item.

Special thanks to our Discord members for helping us to make the game better!

Very small hotfix to the Infernal / Warrior Timer not resetting correctly

I'm aware some of these encore battles are frustrating to play with a gamepad / keyboard. I'm working on a second playable character that works better with those input methods. But I will still be improving gamepad controls in general.

• Changed victory screen a bit when beating encore from a normal fight.
  
• Changed Diver EX to be a bit cleaner.
  
• Driller EX is fixed when fighting it from the base battle.
  
• Encores now have reduced health.

Bugs Bunny

Bugs Bunny is living up to his identity as a strong mage a little bit too well right now. We're hoping to reduce the time that his safe can remain on screen by making it a bit more fragile, and we're looking to tone down some of the more toxic loops that come from his air neutral attack.

Air Neutral Attack

• - Repeat-move lockout increased to 18 frames from 8 frames
  
• - On-hit jump branch window delayed 4 frames
  
• ~ Attacking a safe will now only knock back the safe on the last hit of the attack

Air Up Attack

• - Hitbox active duration reduced 2 frames

Air/Ground Down Attack (Pie)

• ~ Pie projectile hurtbox size increased to match hitbox size. Should address issues with inconsistent projectile interactions.

Air Down Attack (No Pie)

• ~ Increased attach radius to 575 units from 250 units; Gizmo should have an easier time snapping to his car or his allies without needing to precisely aim the attack

Harley Quinn

Harley's balance was mostly tackled in the 1.02 patch, we made some additional finer tuning based on feedback. We have adjusted Ground Up attack to feel more responsive and to allow Harley to pressure her opponents with follow ups. Both Harley's neutral special Bat Doll and Stripe's down special Dynamite have been adjusted so the item timer begins to tick down immediately once equipped to make these items have windows of counterplay.

Ground Up Attack

• + On-hit branch window advanced 6 frames

Air Up Attack

• + Upper body is now projectile intangible while Iron Giant is spinning
  
• * Fixed a bug that would allow this attack to hit 5 times on occasion instead of the intended max of 3 hits

• - Projectile lifetime reduced to 2.75 seconds from 4.25 seconds

Air/Ground Down Special

Steven Universe

Steven's long range and low whiff-recovery has made him feel incredibly oppressive in close fights. His low whiff-recovery combos pair particularly well with his bubble shield passive making it very difficult to punish Steven when he makes a mistake. These changes target his range and whiff-recovery to bring him more in-line with the rest of the cast.

Ground Down Special (Mystery Machine)

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman has been feeling a little strong since the official launch. We want her to keep her identify as the easy-to-pickup, armor tank, but in that vein we don't think she should be able to score ringouts easier than the rest of the cast. These changes should make her feel a little easier to play against while slightly toning down her KO power.

Passive

• ~ Blocking a projectile will only charge Wonder Woman's passive if the projectile has an active hitbox. This will fix issues where Wonder Woman could gain a full passive charge from projectiles like Jerry or Bugs' Safe

Ground Up Attack

• - On-hit branch window delayed 3 frames

Ground Down Attack

• - Additional damage from passive charge reduced
  
• - Additional knockback from passive charge reduced
  
• - Self-applied armor now falls off after the hitbox ends; ally armor unchanged.

• - On-whiff branch window delayed 2 frames
  
• - Damage reduced to 9 from 11
  
• - Knockback scaling reduced to 19 from 20.5
  
• +Knockback increased to 1350 from 1250
  
• Base knockback was increased to account for the lower knockback from the reduced damage

Air Down Attack

• ~ Reduced duration visually in attack pose; branch windows and hitbox timing unchanged

Air/Ground Neutral Special

• * Fixed an issue where lasso could sometimes be reflected; lasso is not reflectable

Ground Side Special

• - Self-applied armor now falls off after the initial dash; ally armor unchanged
  
• - Repeat-move lockout increased to 18 frames from 8 frames
  
• * Fixed an issue where the self-imposed slow while holding the shield could be cleansed

Ground Up Special

• - Hitbox start-up delayed 2 frames

Air Up Special

• - Knockback angle made more diagonal; ground up special knockback unchanged
  
• - Hitbox start-up delayed 2 frames
  
• ~ Updated movement after launch to prevent Wonder Woman from falling too quickly

Air/Ground Down Special

• - Cooldown increased to 33 seconds from 28 seconds

“Shield of Athena” Perk

• * Fixed an issue where Wonder Woman could block ally projectiles
