Huge Overhaul to parry mechanics with respect to weapon centers of gravity Wrist mechanics added to improve class identity and simulation depth. - This is an ongoing effort to promote more immersive gameplay. Wrists will be improved further in future updates. Spear, Dagger, and R
The Menu should now work a bit better. The minimal HUD too. Use LT + LGRIP + RT + RGRIP to spawn the VR menu.
Dear The Joust Community, It has been a lifelong dream of ours to create a VR video game... while we haven't quite added first-class VR support to The Joust yet... the support for VR we've been working on is finally in a state that's good enough to share. Please pardon the rough
Roll has been fixed and stamina cost adjusted to prevent infinite dodges! Weapon collision mechanics improvements continue.
Sorry that these notes aren't the most flushed out nor explanatory notes. We're focusing in on improving the game and building the instructional literature that will teach people how all of the mechanics work and interact with one another! Better NPC Behavior - less robotic NPCs
Check Experimental for Fire Archer and Oddballs for Archer and Poison Archer! More tuning required to make bow control more satisfying, but this should be fun enough to try out! Most gratefully, The Joust Development Team
Dear all, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire should no longer rendered the error texture! Most gratefully, The Joust
Weapon sounds did not work on the default stage. We've fixed that. The default stage itself has changed a bit too in an effort to resolve technical debt... it will improve rapidly over the next few days. For now, we hope that the sound treats you all well. Also, enjoy our goofy s
The Disco Skybox as a default was abrasive on HD settings. We've reverted. Also, players can now enjoy local splitscreen multiplayer! Most gratefully, The Joust
This will allow us to continue pursuing first-class HD features and lighting effects. If you encounter any bugs with the new lighting, please let us know! Most gratefully, The Joust
Check out the latest HD Rendering features today! Color should be improved now across the entire game, especially on HD settings! Many of these features apply to the F11 "Free Camera" mode and its screenshot export feature. We're unsure of how many of these features we'll keep ar
Profile Menu Added and Enhanced: Okay... fine, we shipped some of this last night... but only to test the waters! Choose your own skin tone! Wear a hat! Wear boots! Wear gloves! Wear a cape, a backpack, or a woven basket... the choice is yours! The Chef is available for combat to
We've taken the first steps toward modernizing our HUD. Please let us know what you like better about this, what you think might be worse, and anything else you might think of in the realm of improving the HUD Most gratefully, The Joust
We've been reviewing feedback from our testing pool that is rapidly growing in size and trying our best to accommodate the feedback rapidly, without sacrificing quality. That said, we do expect some amount of instability during this playtest phase and that is why we are here. So,
We've been addressing playtester feedback and improving performance along the way Through various tactics like caching and memoization, we hope to have improved the game's performance! New stages have been added too... they're not in final form... but should be fun and flavorful!
NPCs Let's face it... those NPCs were a bit out of hand. This is not the end of fixing them, but we hope they should feel a bit more organic Class Ability Kits Many of our class and at times, featured abilities that were just about proper clones of one another. Many of those have
We've fixed the bug preventing the tutorial from advancing and the subsequent bug that would often spawn the Class Select menu after clearing Tutorial Stage 6. Thanks, Reddit Community! Most gratefully, The Joust
The text was clipped, this update fixes it. We've also separated the array of elemental animals off into their own tab. We'll redesign the Class Select panel soon, but for now, this should make it a little bit easier. Most gratefully, The Joust
Note: Holding down the Mouse Buttons (or RT, if on GamePad) and moving the mouse while holding them (or Right Stick, if controller)... will swing one's weapon. We'll prioritize improving the tutorial and making it more prominent for newer players too! Most gratefully, The Joust
A small regression was introduced when improving the special-material (non-metal) weapon effects. This had widespread impacts on the weapon impact noises. This should be wholly repaired now! Most gratefully, The Joust p.s. The unicorn might look even more cursed this way...
