Ratz Update 2.0.8 - Announcing the Ratz Map Editor!

Hello Ratz fans!
It's been a while since the last update to Ratz Instagib but today, I'm happy to tell you about a whole heap of updates to the game that I hope you're going to love!

First, the big news…

Announcing the Ratz Map Editor!

Yes, it's finally in the making! The Ratz Map Editor will allow you to create your own game maps and play/share them with the community. Thankfully, the development of it doesn't seem as complicated as I first thought, but it's still too early to give exact details on when it'll be finished. Nevertheless, my goal is to provide simple tools to allow everyone to create nice maps, but at the same time give advanced users the full customisation options they need.

Check out these early screenshots:



Next up…

The new Rooftop map!

This mixes things up quite a bit, so I hope you enjoy playing on it…




New Customisation Items!

I've created 17 (!) new items, including one special item for everyone who supports Ratz while it's in Early Access – the Improved Jetpack! This item won't be unlockable once the game leaves Early Access next year, so be sure to grab it while you can!




And on top of this new content, I've made lots of improvements to the game too…

  • Tweaked Player movement – Lower Jump height and increased Gravity
  • Bigger Player Hitbox – Adjusted the Hitbox size of players to balance it with the player outline/equipped items
  • Precise mouse sensitivity – This should give more room for exact mouse speed settings
  • Zoom multiplier – Set how much the zoom should affect the mouse sensitivity
  • Improved AFK-System – It's now less aggressive and has some bugs fixed…
  • Pixel Beam looks improved

As always, I hope you continue to enjoy playing Ratz Instagib and look forward to the full release early next year!
