Hey everyone!

Even though we're going full throttle at the next major update, we still wanted to push out a smaller update in the meantime fixing bugs that have been lingering in the game for quite some time now.

So that's what this update is.

That being said the upcoming major update (that I've been carefully teasing) is getting closer and there will be a more detailed Steam post about it soon!

Lastly, Volcanoids is 30% off during the Steam Survival Fest right now so if you have any friends that were looking to give the game a try, now might be a good time to recruit them for your crew.

Game Demo (ver 1.0.0.0.3):

- Fixed bugs.
- Optimized graphics.

Full game working in progress:

- The level design of R'lyeh

set all weapon requirements to 1

The Convergence is upon us. You have been given the opportunity to gradually upgrade your ships as you see fit, but make sure your ship is first parked in the shipyard. Custom Contracts will also allow those of you who like to deal in secret to flourish since you no longer need to post to the Local Market. And when those shady contracts start to go south, you now have the option to terminate a contract as long as the other party acquiesces to your request…

SHIP ENHANCEMENTS

Not enough room for all your cargo? Ship moving a little too slow? Now is your chance to upgrade your ship incrementally without having to fulfill the entire blueprint. Once the ship is parked and unloaded in a shipyard, it’s time for the magic to begin.

PRIVATE PACTS

Some business deals are better kept in secret. With Custom Contracts you can give your pal some cash, request specific materials from a certain someone, or only deal directly with those of your choosing. Just make sure they pay you back… with interest

CUTTING OFF THE CONTRACT

Perhaps the deal didn’t go as planned, or someone couldn’t exactly uphold their end of the bargain. Now you can send a contract termination request to end all aspects of the arrangement. Given that the other party agrees, the contract will become null and void.

Time for another update, a smaller one this time. Main things in this updates are curse and luck, two new passive upgrades.

• New passive in game upgrade and permanent upgrade Luck. Luck increases the chance to be presented an upgrade you have already started when levelling up, it increases the drop rate of gold coins when abilities spawn and it increases the amount of xp crystals and gold coins dropped from vases.
  
• New passive in game upgrade and permanent upgrade Curse. Curse increases the number of hostile abilities spawned as well as their damage.
  
• New upgrade stealth heal, gain healing over time while Stealth is active. Unlocked when Stealth duration and movement speed upgrades are maxed out and the Channel heal ability is unlocked
  
• Xp crystals and gold coins have been visually improved and easier to spot on the map
  
• Level up upgrade UI has been improved and now also shows the level of the upgrade offered as well as the cooldown if the upgrade is an ability

• Moved some hostile ability spawns closer to the player
  
• Increased the maximum number of xp crystals and gold coins on the map at the same time
  
• Reduced gold coins drop rate from vases
  
• Reduced Max health passive upgrade from 20% to 15% per level
  
• Reduced the probability of getting health upgrade as a choice
  
• Reduced the probability of getting health regeneration upgrade as a choice
  
• Increased the cooldown reduction of dash upgrade from 1.2 seconds to 1.5 seconds per level
  
• Reduced the start cooldown of block from 20 seconds to 16 seconds
  
• Reduced the start cooldown of blink from 20 seconds to 15 seconds
  
• Reduced the start cooldown of channel heal from 30 seconds to 20 seconds
  
• Reduced the start cooldown of stealth from 20 seconds to 15 seconds
  
• Current Stealth cooldown is now reduced by remaining stealth duration if stealth is aborted early

• Fixed z-fighting on some rocks
  
• Fixed some bugs in hostile abilities targeting during stealth

Hi Y'all!

Rumble Runners 1.3.3 brings some balancing tweaks and a better experience during races.

Have you had runs where you end up being unlucky, just because you're waiting for that pesky speed boost? This update makes it so that you're more likely to get a speed boost power-up the more you don't get it.
That might be a confusing sentence, so let me break it down, haha.
Rumble Runners now counts how many times you picked up a power-up that was not a speed boost. Using this counter it gives you a higher chance of getting a speed boost power-up. It then resets to zero when you receive one. After 4 times of not getting a speed boost, you are 100% certain to get a speed boost.
This should make it a bit easier to catch up to the others.. :)

The hardest mode in Rumble Runners has been made ever so slightly easier by making small tweaks in the Rumbling. For you hard-core players, don't worry, it's still very unforgiving to your mistakes, but now you are less likely to fall by the path just catching up with you, no matter how fast you're going.

The camera now starts off zoomed out all the way, since that is the preferred zoom with most players since you can see ahead much better.

Rumble Runners 1.4 is currently being drafted. It's a much larger major update than 1.3 was, and will be heavily focussed on single-player content. What can you expect?

• solo challenges
  
• customisable Hub (also for the Multiplayer Lobby!)
  
• more stats & achievements
  
• more menu platforms

This list is not exhaustive, as the update is in the pre-designing stage.

We have a limited edition campaign for Monster Sanctuary plushies happening right now! You can get your own Blob and Catzerker, made by Makeship. 



The way the campaigns work is like crowdfunding: These plushies will only go into production if a certain number of them gets ordered during the campaign. If the campaign goal doesn't get reached, the plushies don't get produced and you don't have to pay. So there is no risk involved for you!
If funded, plushies will be shipped worldwide end of October.



Gelatinous, amorphous, transparent, semi-solid, slimy - and now - plushy! Order Blob here:

Blob Plushie




These courageous feline creatures roam the mountains of the Sanctuary for wild beasts to slay and are now ready to protect you in the real world! Order Catzerker here:

Catzerker Plushie





Our very first Monster Sanctuary plushies are almost funded, help us reach the goal! There are only three days left, so make sure to order yours soon! This is a one-time-only offer.

Changes:
- The Emperor will abdicate from the throne if he chooses to disband his entire kingdom.

Fixes:
- Bandit towns owned by active players being conquerable by others.

Hey again, that’s right. When we said in the last post that the update was coming soon, we meant it. The QoL and Accessibility patch launched a bit earlier today, and should be available now on all platforms. For a nice general list of updates, here’s a TL;DR re-run of the greatest hits:

Major accessibility features:

• Accessibility options are no longer linked to the Game Wizard, and are now a menu available from the very start
  
• Element contrast: Add distinct color tints to enemies, projectiles, traps, etc. to make it easier to read a scene visually
  
• User controllable color saturation and contrast
  
• Ability to disable ambient particles and animated backgrounds to reduce visual noise
  
• Further improved the ability to greatly reduce both screen shake and camera flashes

SOME of the patched fixes/changes:

• In Casual mode, “dying” to a pitfall or drowning will now respawn the player on the edge they fell from if the player has enough remaining health points, instead of instant death.
  
• Minor UX changes like making it harder to accidentally steal from the church
  
• Fixed some issues with doors being unresponsive
  
• Improved V-Sync support
  
• ...tons more, the full patch notes are below
