I wonder what else is in store in the Halloween update??? I hope hotdogs.

Livestream tomorrow @ 4PM CET! I will wear a dumb costume!

We'll be livestreaming from the office and spoiling everything in the works tomorrow at 4PM CET on http://twitch.tv/tinybuild

Update log:
  • Added two new characters, Salem and SkullDuggery. They are part of #teamFalcon
  • simplified checkpoint system by getting rid of the need for most 'helper' checkpoints.
    For example, this was warehouse before:

    and this is after:

    (this should not break any existing custom maps)
  • potential fix for invisible players
  • hotdog
  • potential fix for huge position desync issues
  • potential fix for dodge issues
  • creepy crawlies
  • fixed some superchat issues
  • found super disturbing fanart on deviant, very NSFW and can't link to it
  • created a multiplayer issues feedback thread, use it to share your most pressing issues
  • more detailed loading texts
  • started watching The Flash, everyone thinks it's stupid except me :( convinced that writers of that show play SpeedRunners
  • Together with Gert-Jan trying to convince MatthijsV (our 3d animator) that The Strain is a good show. Making progress.
  • Discussing how to build up the world/lore more, bounced around the idea of a TV Show. Wish we could film it. Leaning towards comic books.

FAQ

What is King of Speed?

King of Speed is an in-game tournament between the characters of SpeedRunners. The first one was held in December 2013 and featured an ARG, the culmination of which revealed Game Modifiers.



In the first King of Speed, we counted wins of individual characters for a month, and in the end Cosmo was crowned as King Cosmo and wore a crown for a month in-game.

This time The Falcon faces off with SpeedRunner in an ultimate showdown of Speed and Running. And they are backed up by teams of Youtubers to help!

Do I need to buy the DLC to participate?

No, you can support your team by playing as either The Falcon or SpeedRunner

But SpeedRunner has 4 versions of the skin, but Falcon has only 1?

We are adding 3 more skins to the Falcon just for this event. Spoilers? I probably shouldn't be revealing this.

Which charity are you donating money to?

This is something we're figuring out with the help of experienced parties like Humble Bundle. If you have suggestions - let us know.

What's the DLC price?

We are aiming for $2.99 per pack, so less than $1 per character

Why cancer research?

Personal statement from Alex Nichiporchik (CEO @tinyBuild):

Screw cancer. It took the life of countless people in my family, and almost took mine. I believe with the popularity of SpeedRunners we can make a difference to advance its research.

What will the other falcons look like?

Technically it is r31.5 -- everything from r31 is now live, along with a few additional changes, such as graphics options in settings, pause screen having control setup, and some bahhhh.

Full update log:

  • The prototype level is now the Zoo level.
  • Small level updates, details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyJv0LyxvWo
  • Updates on Buckshot's, 招き猫 and Gil's animation.
  • Fireballs can now be thrown when walking up on slopes.
  • Fireballs are now moving at the same speed no matter which direction you throw them.
  • Fireballs now have a slightly lower collision box.
  • DoubleJumping after a superboost doesn't make you lose your speed anymore.
  • Added a 'wrong way' indicator.
  • Added a 'no item' game option.
  • Network rerouting. The game now sends messages through other players if that turns out to be faster (or the only way to reach them). This should in turn fix a bunch of in-game issues.
  • Fix: the jittery motion during swinging for some players.
  • Fix: laser sliding.
  • There are graphics options in the options menu now (note: resolution, vsync or windowed settings the steam game launch options overrule the graphics options in the options menu. This may be a good time to remove the graphics options from the steam game launch options.)
  • The last item on the workshop levels list can now be selected.
  • AI volumes are now triggerable.
  • Many updates on the level editor.
  • Many smaller updates and fixes.
  • Up to 1 goat per match
  • Controls can now be changed during the game.
  • Fixed the swing knockback glitch.
  • Fixed checkpoints in some levels.
