Happy Halloween!

Overview


Hello! New update is out. It features in-game event and a beta of new Halloween-special mode. The mode is called Dark Night, it makes any map very dark. If you ever wondered how original maps will look with dark lighting then you are able to find this out. There is a new advanced setting in create game menu called "Dark night mode (beta)" and it has a checkbox, check it if you want to play with dark lighting.

I am happy to present a new in-game event: Spookdays. All bosses in the game now will drop one candy on death. Candies are droped for a specific player, so the other players can't pick it up, unless it's more than 3 minutes have passed since the candy was dropped. To get a candy drop for yourself you need to deal more than 25% damage to the boss. The goal of the event is to collect 31 candy to get a new cosmetic item, you can check your progress in a task menu (default key is "V"). Characters who have a charm already (like Christmas Joy from Festive Winter) are not able to take part in this event.

Every player in the game will have a pumpkin instead of usual helmet. It has a glow effect when the character is in dark places of the map. This effect color is fully customizable in Multiplayer Settings. You could notice 2 sliders there which stand for Helmet and Cosmetic colors. Set your Helmet color to anything you like.

Good luck and have fun!

It was never a game with huge audience and it started as a little LAN-party project to play with my friend. Anyway the mod found its fa…
