Awesomenauts 4.0 has been out on Steam for over a week and we are happy to read about all the feedback you gave us. We’re using this feedback to make 4.0 even better, so please share your thoughts here on Steam or on the official forums!

We’ll give you a full rundown of all the news covered on the Streamisho this week below. If you prefer to watch the Streamisho on Youtube, you can do so here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s73jBDe_bQ
We’ve received quite a lot of feedback about the offline features of Awesomenauts over the last week. Some people think we've removed botmatches and splitscreen with the latest update, but that's not the case: you can still play with and against bots in Update 4.0, and you can still play local splitscreen multiplayer. The only change here is that you need to have an internet connection to start the game, since your unlocks are now stored in the cloud.

Based on feedback of players who want to play Awesomenauts when they don’t have any internet available at all, we've decided to permanently leave an offline-only version of Update 3.5 available on Steam. And the nice thing is: it's available already!

You are a founder of Awesomenauts if you owned a copy of the base game on Steam before April 26th. We decided that we will add another Founder Reward for the people that supported us for such a long time. We have not announced what this reward will be, but this will be done on our social media channels in the near future. Be sure to keep an eye out!

Cute Men, consisting of Niki, Ubi, and DaveW, won the April Gathers tournament! Cute Men took away the Grand Prize in an intense final against the Xipang Disciples. Congratulations on winning this edition of the Gathers tournament!

Hey everyone! We'd like to make a quick announcement regarding some of the discussions on offline play that we've seen in the community!

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding regarding the ability to play offline in Awesomenauts. Some people think we've removed botmatches and splitscreen with the latest update, but that's not the case: you can still play with and against bots in Update 4.0, and you can still play local splitscreen multiplayer. The only change here is that you need to have an internet connection to start the game, since your unlocks are now stored in the cloud.

In addition, some players have told us they want to be able to play when they don't have access to the internet at all. To make sure those players won't lose any features that they previously had access to, we've decided to permanently leave an offline-only version of Update 3.5 available on Steam. And the nice thing is: it's available already!

You can get the offline version like this:

• Right click Awesomenauts in your Steam library and go to Properties.
  
• Go to the DLC tab.
  
• Enable the DLC called "Awesomenauts - Beta dual-load PC" (or Mac or Linux depending on your platform).
  
• When you now start the game you can play offline by selecting "Play Awesomenauts Beta".

We'll replace this with a permanent solution in a few weeks, since future betas will overwrite your ability to access this particular version of the game. Once the way to access the offline version of Awesomenauts changes and we have the permanent solution ready for you, we'll let you know!

For now, enjoy!

We just released the first hotfix to Awesomenauts 4.0, including fixes for several gameplay issues and plenty of other improvements.

For more info on all the new features included in the 4.0 launch that released earlier this week, please check out the announcement we made on that.

• Fixed that you couldn’t chat during the victory/defeat screen.
  
• Fixed that sometimes the Creeper Clunk Skin was incorrectly locked.
  
• Reworked Slowwolf Announcer to hopefully fix that he sometimes didn’t unlock. If you had this problem then please let us know if it is fixed now.

• Visually improved the droppod backgrounds for players with a Low background quality setting.

• The XP needed to level a character from level 0 to 1 has been decreased from 400 to 315

Menus

• Fixed that featured matches didn’t show in the Watch menu.
  
• Fixed some cases where global chat sometimes randomly disappeared (seems like it still happens sometimes, let us know if this happens to you and in what situation).
  
• Recruitment code now correctly displays on Linux.
  
• Fixed an issue where pressing back on controller in character select while matchmaking would cause the leave game popup to not be controllable for 5s.
  
• Safe to leave message moved up so it isn’t blocked anymore by the exit menu button in the ingame menu.
  
• When a naut is already unlocked it will not show the discount label anymore.

• Fixed that in some occasions the progression bar in the armory kept counting up and resetting.
  
• Fixed that the tutorial character GG7 kept talking during popups that should silence him.
  
• Fixed a typo in the prestige medal descriptions.

Chucho Krokk

• Teamcolour is now being displayed properly on Chucho's sticky bomb.

It's really happening! Awesomenauts is going free to play on May 24th! Soon everyone can be an awesome space mercenary!
https://youtu.be/g4EV6KmsW58
Going free-to-play has always made sense for Awesomenauts, as more players simply means it’s a better game for everyone. It greatly improves the matchmaking and networking experience, and brings more people to community events and the amazing community-made mods.

We couldn't have done this without your support! Your continued feedback inspires us to dream big, and many of the changes we’re introducing with 4.0 are a direct result of that. Thanks to your support, Awesomenauts has grown from a scrappy indie title to one of the few enduring online games. And with your help we're going to launch Awesomenauts into the stratosphere!

Before we get down to talk about all the cool new stuff, we need to mention two very important things that will stay the same amidst all of these big changes:

• Awesomenauts is still the platforming MOBA you know and love. Nothing changes to the gameplay.
• We won’t sell power. You can’t pay to win. Players won’t be able to spend real money to get an advantage during matches.

So, with that out of the way: let's get down to all the cool new stuff in this update!


We couldn’t possibly have made this massive update without the support of all our awesome existing players! That’s why everyone who played Awesomenauts before April 26th will automatically be rewarded ‘Founder’ status, granting an exclusive portrait and medal! Of course, you'll also have a huge head start over all newcomers, as you will already have lots of characters unlocked!

Even better, if you own the base game plus both expansions before May 24th, you'll automatically be upgraded to the 'All Nauts Pack'! This grants you every 'Naut, forever.

And as always, your feedback remains essential! So don't hesitate to tell us what you think of all these changes.


Custom Portraits, Droppods and Medals have been added to make sure there is plenty of cool stuff to unlock! To help show off these sweet new unlockables we've also taken the opportunity to completely overhaul the match intro and scoreboard. Not only does the new intro show off your Droppod, Medals and Portrait, it also gets everyone pumped to get started!
Portraits can be gained through normal progress, while Medals are rewarded for achieving special feats. Droppods on the other hand, are bought with the new currency: Awesomepoints!


When playing matchmade games, both your Profile and played Naut will gain experience! And both of them can go up in level separately, granting you unique rewards. Items are now the first thing a 'Naut unlocks, which makes completing your build much faster. Levels will also get you Portraits, Awesomepoints and other goodies!

The Profile screen has also be revamped to hold all everything progress related. Here you'll find your stats, 'Naut progress, Medals and Portraits.


On top of experience, playing will also get you Awesomepoints! These can be spent on unlocking any 'Nauts you don't own yet, or the new Droppods and Portraits. Every Awesomenaut can be unlocked this way, even if they were previously part of an expansion. There's also a new testing environment for 'Nauts you don't currently own yet, so you can try before you buy!

Real money is still the only way to buy the 'Naut skins, but can now also be used to buy individual 'Nauts and Droppods.


If you just want to have all 'Nauts available to you at all times, this Pack is for you. It not only gets you all current 'Nauts, but also all the new ones as they come out! The Pack will also grant 'Collector' status, giving you an exclusive Medal and Lonestar skin.

And as mentioned before, if you own the game plus both expansions before May 24th you will automatically be upgraded to the 'All Nauts Pack'! To help all our existing players upgrade to this Pack, we'll be discounting the expansions until the free-to-play launch.


Not feeling very competitive today? Team up with your fellow man and take down a team entirely comprised of Bots! When firing up this new mode you can pick you own difficulty, and Galactron will go look for allies with similar wishes and a low ping. Beating up the Bots will net you rewards just like the regular vs. Player mode, so no worries about missing out.


Want to pick up some new Awesomenauts or Droppods? You need to be in the Armory! Here you can easily browse all the content you’ve unlocked so far. Every item can be digged into for more details, including backstories and splash art. In case of the characters there’s lots of info on their gameplay too, including their Shop items and skills. You can even take characters for a quick testdrive!


Reaching level 5 will grant you a special recruitment code, which you can give to any other players!

New players will be able to enter your key and unlock Raelynn, for free! Any player can only be recruited once!

Whenever a player that you have recruited reaches level 8, you will gain 1000 Awesomepoints! You may recruit up to 50 players this way.


To help all those new players get their bearings in Awesomenauts, we've completely overhauled the tutorial. It features a lot less player downtime and also explains every aspect of the game a lot more thoroughly. The first mission still features Sheriff Lonestar, but in the second players can give Scoop a whirl to learn all about pushing and staying alive.

All in all, there's a lot of awesome stuff in the new update, and there's even more to look forward to in the coming months.

Exciting times are coming, and we'd once again like to thank you for all the support you've given us over the years. We're excited about the future, and hope you'll join us on this next step in our adventure!

Thank you!

- Ronimo Games

To help all those new players get their bearings in Awesomenauts, we've completely overhauled the tutorial. It features a lot less player downtime and also explains every aspect of the game a lot more thoroughly. The first mission still features Sheriff Lonestar, but in the second players can give Scoop a whirl to learn all about pushing and staying alive.

All in all, there's a lot of awesome stuff in the new update, and there's even more to look forward to in the coming months.

Exciting times are coming, and we'd once again like to thank you for all the support you've given us over the years. We're excited about the future, and hope you'll join us on this next step in our adventure!

Thank you!
