Alpha 4

Greetings Bounty Hunters!

We are excited to bring you our first gameplay update since announcing the game. As some of you noticed it is sometimes hard to find players to fight and collect bounty. Especially looking for the bounty leader can be quite a challenge. We added a new UI element which will make having a high bounty even more exciting and challenging. This new feature allowed us to implement a fun and quick new gamemode which you can try out. Also some bugs have been fixed.

NOTE: As we changed a lot internally in our gameserver code it might be buggy, but your funds are (probably) safu.

Bounty Compass

The Bounty Compass will show you the positions of the leading 3 bounty hunters. The positions lag behind by 5 seconds, so that a good bounty hunter may mislead you or put you in a disadvantageous position.

Bounty Boss

Following the Bounty Compass, we added a new gamemode called Bounty Boss. In Bounty Boss one player randomly gets a big chunk of bounty added on his head. Thanks to the Bount Compass, the players will track him down and chaos ensures!

Community

We are always happy for feedback(COMPASS SUXXXXX!!!!) and balance suggestions . You can do that via our itch-community, twitter, discord (https://discord.gg/yWryVDq) or mail (contact@donnerlab.com). We are also looking for community managers who can help us grow and build our community.

Here are todays changelogs

Changelogs

Balance Changes

As the Bounty Compass might change how the weapons play out, we did not change the weapon balance this week. We will revisit that in the next days. We added a respawn cooldown, which should remove some bullshit moments, where you killed someone and they would then immediately respawn next to you.

• Added respawn cooldown (5 seconds)

Sponsoring

Overall we’re pretty happy with how sponsoring works. In the next weeks we will test how gifs and videos affect the clients performance. If it isn’t to big of a load, you will see videos of cats in the game. For sponsors we will try to improve the exposure that URL will get, e.g. players can click the links from ingame.

• Sponsors can now upload jpgs

Leagues

Currently the Leagues are pretty barebones, unbalanced and easily gameable. We will revisit them in the upcoming weeks.

• Hunters League will only calculate your KD once you reach 30 events (kills or deaths)

Bugfixes

• improved qr code readabilty
• equipped skin will show when dying
• fixed an issue with pasting invoices in the wallet menu
• added a server message when not enough players are in game for satoshis to spawn (still janky, will be improved soon)
