Fixed the Leaderboards menu crashing the game
There is now a loading message for leaderboards (instead of the previous "No entries" by default)
Hid the voice volume setting*
* We experimented with voice chat during Early Access but couldn't get it into a usable, network-efficient state. This setting essentially didn't do anything and just caused confusion. Thanks to everyone who has been playing Scrunk both new and old!

Update #5: Scrunk is now free!
You can now play Scrunk for free! If you've never played Scrunk, it's an online team-based building and raiding game. The goal is to destroy the enemy's "core" while defending your own. You'll also run into hostile mechs, world events and plenty of explosions along the way. Pleas

Leaving Early Access and Going Free to Play - April 16th
We’ve been trying to give Scrunk a full release for a long time now. Between personal commitments and a general lack of time, we’ve found it hard to do so up till now. We’re very happy with the game we’ve made and we feel like there’s no way Scrunk doesn’t leave Early Access. Wit

Update #4: Halloween

Welcome to Scrunk’s first seasonal event. We’re celebrating halloween with new limited time item graphics, enemy graphics, a spooky new player style and a brand new weapon. Don’t own Scrunk yet, or know someone who wants it? Read through until the end for a special Halloween treat. While a lot of the new spooky graphics are only around for this event, the new “fire rocket” is here to stay. The fire rocket is an ammo type that explodes as normal however when it does explode, it leave a number of fires around the radius of the explosion. This can be used to deny specific areas while still doing massive damage. These rockets are not craftable and will be found rarely in chests. With this update, we’ve introduced support for alternative skins for blocks something we may use going forward. Some items will have new graphics for this event and explosions and bullets are updated to match! You’ll also find candy, a new health restoring item, in crates. Halloween will persistent until November 5th so make sure to login and check out all the temporary seasonal content before its gone!
Changelog
ADDITIONS

Added the Halloween seasonal event with new block graphics, new enemy graphics and a new player head style
Added Candy which (for the duration of the Halloween event) will heal for slightly less than Syringes, but can stack more
Added Fire Rockets that will leave fires around the explosion radius
CHANGES

Reduced the chance of finding a rocket launcher in a crate by 2%
Reduced the chance of finding the builders package (sheet metal wall, barbed wire and landmines) in an airdrop by 2%
Increased the chance of finding the destruction package (rocket launcher, rockets and scrap) in an airdrop by 2%
FIXES

Fixed a bug where the Chaingun would have some out of place pixels when firing.
Fixed a number of authentication-related security vulnerabilities
Fixed an issue where some players wouldn’t be networked for a while after they had logged in

Hey everyone! The servers are back up with a massive new patch. There's lots of stuff this time round, check out the changelog for all the posts. Make sure you read till the end for some Steam keys! We've also done a lot of work towards stats not increasing if they're against your own team (e.g. teamkilling) and getting kill credit for your placeables' kills (e.g. landmines, fire, etc). Checkout the devlog for a load of pictures showing off some of the new UI. We're sorry for the server down time but server cost a lot. We'll be putting up two NAE servers for now. If there's more demand we'll put more up.
ScrunkTools
We've started a new GitHub repo with all our tools and scripts for server owners. Check it out: https://github.com/SleepyStudios/ScrunkTools
Changelog
ADDITIONS

Added leaderboards! This new menu will allow you to see all other players' ranks as well as your own in a list sorted by rank.
Added hidden servers. Using the -h launch parameter, your server will no longer appear in the server browser and players won't be able to matchmake into it. Hidden servers will also not report match stats.
The Core UI will now visually countdown the health of cores to make the UI stand out more.
Added a new UI element showing vote-kicks. It will display the name of the kickee, the time remaining and instructions on how to vote.
Added a new /stats chat command that will show you your stats including blocks destroyed, damage done and kills.
Added death messages for when you die to another player's blocks (e.g. explosives, barbed wire and fire).
Added a new /reportbug chat command for reporting bugs directly into our Discord.
Added a new /discord chat command to automatically join our server.
CHANGES

Halved the amount of rank points needed between each rank (500 -> 250).
Ammo can now stack up to 100.
Increased the damage of the pistol (16 -> 18).
You will now lose 50 rank points for leaving a game while the walls are down.
Your player stats are no longer incremented if they're against your own team. E.g. your "destroyed blocks" stat is no longer incremented if you destroy your own team's blocks.
FIXES

Fixed a number of server-side issues related to swapping items.
Fixed the space difference between the playerlist and the escape menu if both were open. The escape menu will now always be on top.
Fixed explosions not counting towards mech kills.
Fixed music volume not resetting after leaving the settings without applying.
Fixed music not playing again after exiting to the main menu and then going back into a game.

More new server tools
We've created a new script for use in conjunction with our "launchservers" script. The runbatchserverupdate script will kill all screen instances (created by the launchservers script), run the runserverupdate script we added last patch and launch your batch instances. The script can be executed like so: "./runbatchserverupdate SERVER_GROUP_NAME NUM_SERVERS". The script comes included in our "setupec2" script and of course can also be downloaded from the link above.
Thank you!

We've updated the guide with all this info too.
