Zugnaex awaits
These notes cover changes made over the last 6+ months. The game was revamped to address many concerns, the service was improved to better support players from around the world, and the story has progressed. Players are battling as we speak in preparation for the ultimate confrontation with Zugnaex. The time is now to prove yourself in battle and save humankind.
Client Changes
Fixed & improved IWAD verification and search. The client will find compatible games installed with Steam.
Improved stability. Fixed several issues that could cause a client crash. Please continue to report any issues you find.
Added an example battle to the distribution. It's called "Kneed Time." You must finish a random UV E1 map in par. The instructions for how to build the client and server and setup the battle (a python program) are included in the README files.
The client now checks for the best game server to connect to based on network speed. We hope you enjoy this performance improvement.
There is no more login or account needed to battle online. You can set a username or leave it blank to get a random name.
Battle Changes
Many balance and gameplay changes have been made to the different battle modes. This is based on player feedback. These are the most significant changes noted below.
A Demon a Day
You battle demons with your friends to try to become a demon slaying legend. The lobby time has now been reduced. Grab what you can and get out to start the battle. Friendly fire is also back on now so be careful to not hit your allies (or maybe you're going for your own high score...)
Pennies from hell
Demons drop pennies and you collect them to get the highest score. It's PvP so everyone is out for themselves. There is now a weapon choice depending on which portal you use to enter the battle. The bonuses for secrets and level exit were increased. Exit bonus is scaled based on par time.
That Guy
You work together with your friends to complete different mission objectives. But there's a twist. The marines may succumb to the will of the demons and now must prevent others from finishing the tasks. The item respawn delays were increased to make the item task more challenging. You also have less time in the lobby to load up so be quick and selective.
The Summoning
We're in the first stage of the summoning. Players are battling to earn an advantage and develop the skills needed to defeat Zugnaex.
