| Community | Achievements, stats and lore.. oh my! Hey. Long time no see. Things have been slow since I've been dealing with nightmarish moving. But I've been settled in my new place for the past couple months, sort of, and have started working again. For beta17, I've added and changed some fun stuff, but I think I'd like to share that all in a video soon. Instead, I'm just going to share some boring but important crap first so the video doesn'… | — | |
| Community | Linux version now available + the home stretch Hey folks, today I'd like to announce that Boring Man is now available on Ubuntu, for playing and/or hosting with the dedicated server build. On your Ubuntu device, you should be able to install and launch it like normal. We're also getting much closer to the update being 'complete', so I thought I'd share for whats left of the road ahead. To get out of the way, if you've been having any troubl… | — | |
| In-game event | Boring Man v2.0.0 beta16 is now available Runtime update + optimizations I made a Steam announcement + testing branch a few days ago to test this version, as it has been upgraded to Game Maker's spicy new runtime that broke a lot of things and allowed me to get things up to speed so servers could be hosted more easily over the cloud + on linux. You can check it out here . Thanks for testing if you did, I think it's much more stable now… | — | |
| Community | You can now test Boring Man v2.0.0 beta15b Hey. I've been working on beta15b, which is another code overhaul update. There isn't much content, but it's a rather big update for me because of a lot of technical changes were made in order to optimize things and get the project code up to speed. I've been nervous of pushing this patch but also can't continue with content until it's out, so I've decided to create a testing branch first. Ther… | — | |
| Game update | Boring Man v2.0.0 beta15a is now available This update is mostly bug fixes and hopefully helps with some glaring weapon balance problems.

| Major update | Boring Man v2.0.0 beta15 is now available This update is mostly new content, however be wary of crashes and bugs. Report them how you see fit, and I'll fix everything I can over the weekend. As for the state of overall development, I anticipate the next major update will be release. However I got a sh itty spring/summer ahead of me as I'm moving across the country, so it might take a while to prepare the last update until 2.0.0 is fini… | — | |

| Game update | Boring Man v2.0.0 beta14b is now available This is a small patch to tie up some loose ends before I start working on the next big update. It's mostly fixing bugs, crashes, and other problems and makes some pretty good optimizations for cloud saving and the server list. Hopefully you should be able to log in faster and the server list should act a little less janky. There's some weapon balance and a couple new features to make this a lil… | — | |
| Major update | Boring Man v2.0.0 beta14 is now available: New weapons, gamemodes, features Hey. This update was a wild one. I think it contains some of my best programming. Like everyone else, I've been stuck at home avoiding the pandemic, so I decided to take advantage and overhaul a lot of the game's code. From what I saw from testing, this overhaul has improved performance quite a bit, but I'll suppose I'll hear what the jury says. Last weekend, I posted about the new mutators sys… | — | |
| Community | Boring Man v2.0.0 beta14 will be available July 19th Hey. Sorry this update took so long, but I guess with all the free time off we're all getting, I took it as an opportunity to overhaul the code base. I reworked a lot of back end systems and everything is running a lot more efficiently. One major rework is the mutators system. Mutators that disable XP gain have been separated into their own class of server settings called "cheats". You can enab… | — | |
