Major Physics Update + Multiple Create A Class Slots + QoL Improvements

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Dear all,

We hope the game is more inviting, generally feels better, and feels easier to navigate for players of ALL skill levels.

We're also continuing on with the quest to make the game easier to navigate!

Physics Updates:


- We've retuned the core physics so that heavy weapons feel heavier, light weapons feel appropriately light, and everything in-between also feels... well... somewhere in-between!- ALL weapons now have a slower VELOCITY RAMP-UP time and will thus require slightly more calculated swings to get the most use out of them.- Larger weapons, like greatswords and greathammers will take significantly longer to swing, but will have a bit more power behind them too.- More than 50 projectiles were slowed down, including all arrows (except the gigantic ones) by up to 10%

Create a Class:

This feature now allows players to create numerous classes. This should make experimentation easier. We also support importing and exporting of the Custom Classes now to make them more easily shareable with friends.Be careful when exchanging files on the Internet. We'll eventually provide first-class, class-sharing support for custom classes... but this is not yet implemented.

Major Improvements to Cinema Mode and F11 Freecamera Mode:

Lots of bugs existed in the screenshot exportation pipeline. Many of these are now eliminated.

Menu Update:

We've added "Host Now" buttons to the Main Menu's Game Browser feature.

Please. Join. Discord.

We'd love to have you at https://the-joust.com/discordMost gratefully,The Joust Development Team
