New Music - Custom Class NPC Tournament Improved

The Joust · published 9 Oct 2026, 01:50 UTC · build 25818381

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Dear all,

Happy to announce some new updates!

New Music

Space Age campaign now has its own music! The Joust - Space Theme 1

All Sports-related modes will play the new The Joust - Sports Theme


Thank you very much to bananavapor (Horizon)


Custom Class NPC Tournament Point Limit Increase

22.5 points was not generous enough! We want epic battles to be played out, so we've increased the point limit to 27. It can go higher in the future too... the hope is that this will add some flavor to the battles!


Autobattle Tab

To encourage participation in the new Custom Class NPC Tournament, we've added the AUTOBATTLE tab. We'll probably remove the Main Menu button that shows Custom Class NPC Tournament soon.


Deluxe Edition Perk


Deluxe Edition owners can enter TWO classes into the Custom Class NPC Tournament! Twice the fun!

Game update10 Oct 2026HotfixWe noticed a bug where Deluxe Edition sync was not working well with NPC Custom Class Tournament to award a bonus entry! We think we have fixed this! Most gratefully, The Joust Development TeamGame update7 Oct 2026Custom Class Tournament Mode ImprovedDear all, We've overhauled the Custom Class Tournament Mode to be a bit more user-friendly and feature better NPC decisionmaking on the custom classes. There's still some work to be done... but we'll need to collect more custom class data first... so get battling! Most gratefully, The Joust Development TeamGame update7 Oct 2026NPC Custom Class Tournament ImprovementsDear all, NPC Custom Class Tournament will now allow you to continuously spectate matches, instead of kicking you out and starting a local custom game. This should feel much better. Custom Classes will now be blocked from entry if they exceed the ATTRIBUTE POINTS CAP (currently 22.5). The game will tell you this and offer you a button to correct this. Most gratefully, The Joust Development Team
