i posted this on reddit and discord so im gonna post it here too. thank you to all the new players for buying and playing Your Only Move Is HUSTLE over the winter sale. I never thought this game I made for my friends and I to goof off in would be going so strong this long after release with over 700 freaking modded characters on the steam workshop and tons of people playing it all the time. it'…
YES i am aware of the crash! unfortunately, it is not something i caused this time... there is a software unrelated to YOMIH going around that scrambles network packets to avoid ISP blocks/censorship which also happens to have the unintended effect of crashing lobbies. until i figure out how to fix it, i have added a safeguard that is triggered when this software is detected and prevents users…
turns out last patch broke hard knockdowns and a few other moves, as well as some new character select screen bugs. these should be all or mostly fixed. new version number because this is *technically* a gameplay change, but nearly all 1.9.19 replays should work.
no gameplay changes yet. modded players should see a new loading screen when the game starts. i've also made it so the game only needs to load modded characters once, instead of after every match. please let me know if this relieves the "mod mismatch" error. additionally, cloud saving has been enabled.
nothing special. thank you to emi.pet and sodium fluoride for finding and alerting me to a particular vulnerability involving remote code execution - scary! update 2024-08-03, in response to some comments: >nothing special >fixed RCE ...what? why not explain what the vulnerability was? im curious, this is scary. i dont want to play a game without transparency within the code construction and th…
Click here for patch notes Biggest change is that lobbies no longer default to custom characters being enabled. This is to promote a similar balance of modded to vanilla lobbies to before character loader was merged into base game, as modded lobbies have become a dominant majority and vanilla players are finding it difficult to find games. You can just as easily make a modded lobby, but now it…
Just another aesthetic change: modded characters no longer inherit the extra aesthetic freeze-frames that came with the last patch. I have added a toggle to the base character scene to have the freeze-frames that is disabled by default but hopefully made it stand out enough that new mods dont forget to enable it :P And probably the smallest gameplay-changing update (which requires a new game ve…
Some of the modders were doing naughty things with my code :( but this should help. Robot should be back in the game for modded character users, and many modded characters who were causing a startup crash should not be doing so any longer.
patch notes here If your game is crashing on startup, unsubscribe from all mods and try again! I'm not sure what this patch may break... Hello gamers. the new character, Mutant is finally out! sorry it took me so long. there was a lot of work to do, not just on the new character, but on every part of the game. The Slop Man Cometh Art by blauxel ! Some highlights before i get into how Mutant wor…
warning steam is being weird and freaky and your vote is probably not getting saved if you cast it before dec 21st 10am pt for legal reasons this is a joke and i respectfully ask you to vote for whomever you think is the most deserving of the award (though it is obviously Your Only Move Is HUSTLE). anyway, look at what you freaks did: the award heist is going smoothly. theyll never know what hi…
Mutant (aka SLOP MAN) is now playable in the _unstable branch!!! To try him out, select the _unstable beta branch in your steam settings. Progress on this beta cycle can be found in #unstable-updates at There are plenty of other character changes too! Please tell me what you think! A more thorough character trailer will be shown when Mutant is ready for a full release. for now have fun with thi…
Listen. You and I both know the deal here. Your Only Move Is HUSTLE is obviously, doubtlessly, the biggest innovation in fighting gameplay the world has seen in years. Slides forth a manila envelope and takes a huge drag off my expensive cigar. What do you say we put all this... dirty business behind us and start again on the right foot, huh? The bemuscled guardian behind me shifts a little and…
click to view patch notes I didn't want to make any more changes before Olympus, but many of the top players (of all characters, including Wiz) have alerted me of a massively overpowered strategy that allows for Wizard to win while taking no risks. This was demonstrated at today's Protocol tournament where 6 of top 8 were Wizards, some of whom weren't normally even Wizard players. These were th…
1.8.20 - Robot bomb crash FIXED I THINK!!! - Ninja's stored momentum pips now display the stored speed. - Added option to show extra character information (just speed for now). - Added ghost indicator to show when the player lands from an aerial state.
1.8.19 - Possibly fixed the prediction-related crash that has been happening for a lot of people on lower-end hardware - Optimizations to prediction. Game should feel substantially smoother now - Fixed bug where clicking actions buttons triggered the prediction again when releasing left click - Burst can no longer go below 0
1.8.12 - I think I fixed the mysterious prediction lag (again) - Guard Break moves are now highlighted in the action selector ## All Characters - Hustle - No longer causes the opponent to get sad.
1.8.11 - Fixed incredibly strange interaction where you could influence your opponent's hitstun and knockback by selecting different moves during a combo. - Hitboxes that are triggered during throw animations can now apply screen rumble and hitstop (where applicable). Mostly gameplay is unaffected.
Check it out everyone!!! You thought I was done yapping with the 1.8.0 update??? No way! We're excited to announce a new, free entry , major tournament series for Your Only Move Is HUSTLE: the Olympus Invitational ! Hosted by Protocol Team, directed by VineRaio, sponsored by me. Prepare for an exhilarating November and December as we usher in a wave of qualifier tournaments leading up to the gr…
