Made more changes to the Class selection screen involving the teammate selection overlapping with class selection buttons.
Added additional information regarding points earned and loss through eliminations to the appropriate Gamemodes.
Added a realistic battle variant of Operations to the gamemode information while the map loads.

The following weapon classes have received specification changes

Anchor

Fixed incorrect fire rate values from the previous patch.

Fixed a bug in non-realistic battles where respawning after dying would still show the name of the bot which killed the player,

Development Notes

This update is targeted at improving non-realistic battle modes, making all gamemode available to Realistic battles, making it so realistic battles are more random each match, and UI fixes.

Not much dev notes here given how simple everything is.

Update 12.0 Updated Patch Notes - A Western Arrival Pt.1

Release date: September 11, 2025 at 8:45 AM CDT

What’s new:

Weather

Made it so that lightning occurs much more frequently.
Reduced the size at which the lightning explosion can expand at the point of impact by approx. 13% and reduced the expansion speed
Added new sound effects for lightning
Added a day and night cycle

Bugs

There currently is a bug where the scrips controlling the rain and associated sounds are being run several times a second as if multiple copies of the script are present and being run. There is currently no fix and is being investigated.

Development Notes

This update is focused on adding content in the first wave of the Western Arrival.

After studing how weather works, it was made where the frequency of lightning is much higher than before, To make sure that the lightning is not overpowered, its explosion size and expansion speed is reduced. Additionally, more lightning sounds were made.

Code for the daylight cycle is now made functional

Furhtermore, 2 new maps were added.

The next update will add the 2 new teams, along with bug fixes and class reworks.

SirBots

12.0 has been released. Expect a sudden hotfix in the future as I work to fix the major bug with the weather scripts. Creaticode has been informed that this may be an editor bug, as a fix with code in the editor is not likely possible.

@info-creaticode

SirBots

I will be experimenting with tables to see if a targeting system via a table of all the enemy coordinates would be faster in more populated lobbies.

SirBots

Update 13.0 - Howitzers and Prying Night Fighting Pt.1 - Seasonal Major Content Update

Release Date: TBA

What’s New:

AI

Removed the code which caused bots to flash upon taking damage

UI

Added 4 new Battle soundtracks
Added one limited time Soundtrack
- This will be used in the upcoming Halloween event

Technical Changes

Added “Base Defenses”
- Base defenses are a set of long range artillery. Upon getting too close to the opposing team’s spawn, the artillery will fire, and being within range for too long result in an elimination.

Weather

Reduced how dark the map is when it is Night time by approx. 5%

Maps

Added a new time limited map: Hurgen’s Forest

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where the player would not take damage from lightning or airstrikes

Development Notes

This update is targeted towards preventing spawn camping, fixing some small things, and updating the music.

After attempting to fix a bug which resulted from the brightness changes caused by weather, it was decided to keep the bug as this could potentially affect users with photosensitive issues.

Some new soundtracks were added, and one being for the halloween event in the near future.

After some time, it was decided that players could also get decisive victories just by sitting inside of the spawn point of the enemies and killing large numbers of them. Thus, a mechanic was added to make sitting in their spawn much more risky.

Lastly, a new Halloween map was added for use in the event and some small weather changes were made.

@sirbots may I get a game link?

DreamSMP_Luck

@sirbots thank you, it’s so fun! my friends can’t stop playing it XD

SirBots

Update 13.0 is planned to release later this week to early next week!

DreamSMP_Luck

@sirbots yay

SirBots

A project with the new soundtracks will drop this week! Additionally, the Artillery is being buggy, so it will not drop with the update as work progresses.

SirBots

One last thing, as a replacement for artillery, each match can be in either realistic or standard battles after your first game of a session. 50v50 games will be a guaranteed realistic battle.

SirBots

13.0 has dropped. Patch notes for 13.5 will drop later next week.

SirBots

Update 13.5 - Originality - Major Content Update

Release Date: TBA. Editor lag is being a massive problem currently

What’s new:

UI

Major Revamps to the UI screen to be more clean and modern.
Removed several old songs and replacing them with new music.
- This music will be AI generated via Suno’s v5 model. Thus, it won’t be taken from another producer.
- Some old songs will remain. Overall, there will be less songs in the music rotation. See dev notes for more detailed reasons.
Similar to the Battle Music, the lobby music will see similar changes, but the number of songs will still be the same.

Gamemodes

The following gamemodes have received specification changes

Frontlines

Reduced the number of tickets need to win a score victory to 500.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where the message of a successful elimination would remain frozen on screen should it appear during the victory chime.
I am aware of a bug that causes incorrect collision and roof rendering on some maps despite it being correctly placed in the costume editor. This is currently being investigated.

Developer Notes

This update is made to update the UI and make major changes to the music, along with a gamemode change.

First, the UI screen will receive some changes, including button layout and appearance, along with cleaner placement.

For the battle songs, changes have been made to the music rotation to remove low quality and somewhat boring music, add some songs which is more fit for the game’s genre, and overall for general originality. The same will happen for most of the lobby soundtracks. Overall, there will be less soundtracks. Some old songs will still be in the game

For context, all of the new songs will be AI generated using Suno AI’s v5 model. As part of a subscription to access said model, the songs get copyright protections, thus making these new songs the first soundtracks ever to be fully original to the game. These songs will be dropped shortly before the update as Volume 2.

For the Frontlines mode, the amount of tickets needed to win is reduced to 500 to reduce match times. This is targeted to the Standard variant of the gamemode where the only way to win is by tickets.

Lastly some small bug fixes were made as well as an investigation of a bug is underway.

The next update will add a new gamemode.
