Patch notes
| Published | Title | Build |
|---|---|---|
| New Classes, Weapons, and Physics Updates Dear all, We've made some very large scimitars. We've also made some tweaks to the physics to make some characters more playable again after the weapon heft changes. We've also added new ROBOT CHARACTERS! Most gratefully, The Joust Development Team | 25155638 | |
| Main Menu Theme + Physics + More! Dear all, Music We've received the latest track back from our composer friend. The Main Menu theme is here! Physics Large Weapons receive more penalty on back-and-forth swinging. Heromaster Mode Helmets: Rare Helmets now exist, instead of EPIC ONLY. This should make it easier to obtain them early on in a run Please enjoy! Most gratefully, The Joust Development Team | 25139829 | |
| Menu Improvements Dear all, The Main Menu has been simplified and the Play menu has been reformatted. There are still a number of menu-related changes to be made over the next few weeks... but this should be much better and easier to navigate than it was! Most gratefully, The Joust Development Team | 25089733 | |
| New Pirate Ship Stages + Weapon Collisions w/ Stages & Scenery Dear all, A few new pirate ship stages have been added. We have big plans for these. Also... now weapons are less likely to path through scenery during swings. Unfortunately, they will still path through scenery when not swinging and when moved just right. This is a little better though and we'll celebrate that for the time being! Most gratefully, The Joust Development Team |
