The Wall - Definitive Shutdown
With a heavy heart, I'm shutting down servers for The Wall. Ever since 2018, I've been working solo on this project. It's been an incredible journey of self-growth and knowledge, but to truly bring the community a multiplayer-service type game, I'd need a team to keep up with dem

Update 1.6.0 - Profiles, Match Analytics, Item Progression, and New Patreon Skin
I've had a few people ask "ok, the game is fun, but what do I get for playing?" At first I was shocked by this question, thinking "well the point of playing the game is to play the game." However, after many people suggested adding leaderboards, career profiles, etc., I realized
I've had a few people ask "ok, the game is fun, but what do I get for playing?" At first I was shocked by this question, thinking "well the point of playing the game is to play the game." However, after many people suggested adding leaderboards, career profiles, etc., I realized that just seeing the "victory" screen really doesn't mean much. Being able to see how you've done over time, look at match data, see how you stack on global leaderboards, and unlock new skins as you play would add so much more meaning to finishing matches.
Version 1.6.0 contains the all new Player Profile, Match Analytics, and Item Progression systems. Here's a summary of each system:
Player Profiles
View anyone's profile through your squad or match history.
Match Analytics
This is the match overview page. It shows a generic leaderboard with details about the match.
This is the graphs page, where you can analyze various metrics throughout the match.
Item Unlock System
Along with the axe, almost every gun has 5 skins to unlock based on kills. I hope to expand this to include items in the future!
February Patreon Skin Drop - Prismatic Web
Originally I wanted to make a skin that had a theme to match this update. I tried playing around with various textures that resembled graphs and stats but couldn't get anything to look good. Almost ready to quit, I flipped some random switches in Substance Painter and finally had an "AHA" moment. 20 minutes later "Prismatic Web" was born.
Changelog

Added player profiles
Added ELO system to track global player rank (casual)
Added item progression and 50+ new skins
Added new "Prismatic Web" Patreon skin
Added match history
Added match overview pagee
Added match graphs page
Reduced wall opening time by 50 seconds
Fixed some glitchiness with Water Treatment map
Fixed various skin icons
Removed placeholder fish image from lots of places in the game
STB takes a lot more damage from explosions now
Fixed colliders on stairs, ETowers, barricades, etc. - explosions that happened next to these objects didn't register
Fixed self-colliding pings
Reduce time to kick at end of game

Intro
This update hones in on what makes the game fun - intimate, strategic, quick paced action.
Throughout the many matches that the community and I myself have played, it's generally agreed upon that 3v3 matches are the most fun. Games tend to be fast paced and it's easy to coordinate with teammates. In 4v4+ matches, the map tends to get overloaded with turrets, barricades, buildings, etc., causing lag and frustration as matches tend to stalemate and last 50+ minutes.
Update 1.5.0 limits matches to 3v3 and brings you maps oriented for the 3v3 experience.
New Map - The Veil
Hanging platforms, a vertical playstyle, and aggressive turrets inside of the wall set this map apart from any map that has been in the game.
New Map - Water Treatment
This map features a "Tri-Wall" that lacks a timer. Players decide when they want to attack, be it through entry point A, B, or C.
Reworked Map - Oasis
Oasis has been shrunk down significantly, catering towards the new 3v3 playstyle. It's aesthetics have been revamped and the map feels much more like a map, as opposed to a random assortment of rocks.
Changelog

Two brand new maps
Reworked "Oasis" map
Oriented the game towards 3v3 (squads, lobbies, etc.)
Better looking environments overall
Added self destruct for turrets and missile defenses
Reduced overheal cap from 200 to 140
Can now place healing stations anywhere, but limited to 2
Reduced shovel draw time
Reduced health of turret from 200/400/600 to 200/300/400
Fixed camera sway not working!
Misc bug fixes
