Hey there fellow Stickman! Another month of development has passed and with that comes numerous features and content added, along with loads of bug fixes. Here is everything that I've been working on for the last month!

Adjusted enemy count in levels

Enemy counts have been adjusted in all levels. A common theme in the demo was players overwhelmed by the number of enemies. So the enemy counts have been reduced, making it more about a challenge of speed than combat. They also scale depending on number of players, so more players means more enemies.

PvE Race mode

Added a race mode to PvE. No enemies or encounters to complete, just race your friends and try to get the fastest time through the level!

Created a pvp map live on twitch

A proper PvP map has been added which I made live on twitch! You can see the vod of blocking out this map here (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2578288053?collection=gpvqPRaVSxi2cg)

PvP Modes Soccer & Gun Game

More PvP modes have been added besides Team Deathmatch and Last Stickman Standing!
Gun Game: Weapons are put into a random order. Get multiple kills with the weapon as a team before moving onto the next one! (The number of kills per weapon can be changed)
Soccer: All players are immune. Use Explosives to launch the ball into the opposing teams net!
H.O.R.S.I.E Soccer: Same as soccer, but on a H.O.R.S.I.E! You can see H.O.R.S.I.E Soccer being made live here (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2579381902?collection=gpvqPRaVSxi2cg)

Hats and Tombstones added

I’ve added more Hats and Tombstones, each with their own unlock condition! If you have unlocked the Golden Goose and Golden Top Hat, you will keep them. If you do not have them, it will hide them so they aren’t shown as locked.

40 achievements added

I added 40 achievements! Ranging from basic stuff like drawing a skin to harder things like completing a level without firing a single shot!

Grapple length indicator (gets explained in tutorial as well)

I added an indicator for how long your grapple will be before turning into a swing. The swing would always happen at the end of the grapple but it was almost unpredictable. This indicator makes it feel a lot smoother. If you don’t like it, you can turn it off in the settings.

Streamer mode (file explorer option)

Added an option to use an alternate prompt instead of opening file explorer when opening images. This is directed primarily at streamers that don’t want their file explorer shown on stream.

Lobby Ready up system

Added a Ready Up system for the lobby. When the host starts a match in multiplayer, it used to just start. Now it waits for

Redesigned PvP Mission Select

Something no one ever saw was the PvP Mission select, but it looks a lot cleaner than it did before. And it gives a more clear indication of how to alter game settings and mutators. (It also makes it easier for me to add mutators per mode)

Original Soundtrack added for 4/8 levels!

The original soundtrack has been added for half of the levels currently in the game!

Redid the Lore

None of you have seen the lore since it was added after the demo, but I changed it drastically to be more serious and explain the origin of The Stickman and why you are on this journey.

A Slight Style Change

While messing with how to make the game more stylistic, I accidentally created a material bug on the stickman which looked really good. So I applied it to the rest of the game to help it look a little more stylized.

Numerous bug fixes with creative, audio, and more

And last but not least, SO many bugs have been fixed to make The Stickman a smoother experience.

Release Date Pushed Back Slightly

As much as I want to release The Stickman this year, I have to focus on school right now and release sometime after winter break.

For a Full Breakdown check out this video which goes into more detail on some of these things

Next month I should have more quality of life updates, another PvP map, some localization, and an updated trailer and store page with the new style!

Hello everyone.

Thank you all so much for supporting Megaloot. We love you and are working hard to bring new mechanics, improve balance, and, this time, an extra focus on localization issues.

We’ve added a Mystic Trader. He shows up with Tomes, Tinker Kits, and Insightus, and he trades for diamonds.

Tomes are back, but they don’t auto-apply anymore. You use a tome to learn its ability. Most characters can learn one ability, but some can learn two.

You can now dismantle as many times as you want. But each dismantle raises the price by 5 diamonds, and the price is reset on the next encounter.

Also, after Floor 30, the number of battles per floor reduced by one, and after Floor 60, it reduced by one more.

This time we’re specifically looking for reports on localization: inconsistencies, typos, mistranslations, style issues, and anything else. Please share anything you find with us so we can fix it for the next update!

To make sure everything is working right, we need your thoughts. That’s why we’re launching a beta test for the update! Give it a try and let us know what you think, especially on localization, in the comments or on our Discord server.

To join the beta test, select public_testing_branch - Experimental in the Properties > Betas section of Megaloot.

Your thoughts will help us make the game even better. Thanks for being an amazing community and stay tuned for updates by joining the Discord server of Megaloot!

The new All Will Fall Demo Update is finally here, and it might just be the last one before we release our game!

• 200 IQ large wood support 4x4 rework.

• Remove Gathering Hut. Idle citizens will now automatically take from basic resource piles,

• Remaining Gathering Huts now have a range from which employees gather resources.

• Tier 2 stands use electricity instead of employees.

• Reworked lots of Events.

• Photo Mode is now available! Use it to tweak camera settings and animate camera movements to capture your beautiful cities on film!

Finished the Wendigo baddie, and I will upload the new Holiday Havoc challenge maps to the Patreon very soon. Also fixed a couple of bugs (thanks to Macabre again, of course). There was a broken achievement in Ch.3 and the reps "Crimson Died" and "Gorbo Died" were getting erased in Ch.2 scripts. If one of those characters died in your playthrough and you already started Ch.2, you're probably gonna see them again. It has been fixed if you haven't started Ch.2 yet.

The new Holiday Havoc challenge map is called Howling Hunger, featuring the Wendigo. I'll be using the monster in Ch.6 also. Get Holiday Havoc on Patreon (I'll upload the new map soon).

Happy Halloween! Last month, we had intended to show off our progress by letting people play TF2C in the Open Beta. Obviously, that plan hit a bit of a snag, but after a few "calm and collected conversations," we're back to business. This time, we have the last two months of progress to cover instead of the usual one. Here is the current state of the game.

Currently, every gamemode is in the port and working. Almost every TF2C exclusive map has been ported, with the remaining 3 simply pending a recompile. Every weapon is implemented, fully functional, and presentable, with the exception of one animation bug with the twin barrel. Four-Team, with its new dynamic teams system for mappers, is implemented. Lighting changes are fully in effect, and all planned achievements have been ported. When we gave a similar run down back in May, this content was simply "functional", but often had serious bugs, missing visuals, or other faults that would make them not launchable. Now, this content is all borderline complete. We're not done yet, however.

Volunteer projects like this are very prone to what we call "bottlenecking", where a sizable portion of work is required but only a few people have the skills needed to complete that work (applications are always open, by the way). In our case, this is the user interface. We are working towards a much needed revamp of our main menu and server browser interfaces. While they aren't yet presentable, our goal is to improve the flow of starting a server and finding community servers.

The fun thing about doing a massive bug sweep on the game is that it makes smaller bugs more noticeable. "Bug Whack-a-Mole" is what I have affectionately called the process of knocking out a series of small or annoying bugs, attending that weekend's playtest, and leaving with a new list of bugs just as long as the first. The good news is that very few of them are serious gameplay issues anymore. The bad news is that a small bug does not equate to a quick fix. So, some of our developers will be buffing these out until launch.

There are a few other miscellaneous tasks left, such as colorblind mode, some tweaks for custom weapons, the chicken, and achievement feedback. Oh, there's also the ███████, but I'll have more to say on that later. For now, we'll move on to the more exciting stuff.

The game is finally at a point where we can test balance changes without the data being completely unusable. We've already mentioned in the past that the Huntsman and AA Cannon have new hitreg systems, but a few other items have also been reworked since.

The Rejuvenator was the last holdout for ported weapons by a large margin, only getting in towards the end of September. The reason? This weapon was pretty overengineered. In the old version of the game, the Rejuvenator had a whopping five separate factors that could wildly sway how much healing it does. Not only was this a nightmare to try and port, it was also unclear to players and messy to balance.

So we're reworking the healing calculation. In the Steam version, the Rejuvenator will focus a lot more on landing direct hits, and its healing will be a lot more consistent when landing direct or indirect hits.

Back in May, for our final balance patch, I heavily tweaked the Mine Layer with the promise to do a deeper rework later due to pacing issues. A large number of mines can be tedious to remove and they often slow down the game, especially if used by multiple Demomen. Now, that rework is finally in development.

Our current plan is to ensure that mines are interesting to fight by expanding the options for counterplay, and we're pretty close to succeeding. Once we have mines that are actually fun to engage with, we'll tweak the stats accordingly.

VIP Trainyard tends to get repetitive after a full session, as many maps with short round timers often do. To give the BLU team more of a fighting chance, and to lower the amount of time spent in the setup phase, we have introduced a lives system for permadeath VIP. Now, when the Civilian walks into a sticky trap that you totally called out in comms, he will still have two more chances before the round is over. To complement this gamemode change, we've also updated the map's visuals to introduce more detail and bring it in-line with our current visual standards.

Here's images of the new version, with the old version to compare:

With the introduction of custom team combinations, we wanted to further refine the aesthetics of the YLW and GRN teams. To achieve this, Flask has gotten a complete facelift. For long-time blog readers, we teased this in a post on our website a while back. Each corner of the map will now lean further into its team's aesthetic, while still retaining the layout and feel of the original map.

Oh, and here's another comparison for you:

When we announced the ███████ last month, we were under the impression we could sort it out in due time. Unfortunately, communication barriers have made it unclear as to what █████ we can ██████. We have received contradictory claims as to our limits, and we will not commit resources to a decision until we are absolutely sure it is the best option. As such the █████ ████████ is still pending. We thank you for your patience on this matter, but the situation will remain classified until further notice.

I hope everyone's been having a great during the day. For anyone who plans to play AFK_GF, there have been some special secrets, and I'm sure some of the characters have dressed up for the occasion. With a last-minute crunch, I hope someone gets a unique experience with the game today. The following things have been added in the recent update.

• Music Room Clean Up.

• Miscellaneous Spelling Clean Up.

• Halloween Update

• Other Secrets for the Curious People.

  Thank you for everyone who's supported me and I wish you all have a great day!
