Hello everyone! It's been a while since the last big update...and that's because I've been hard at work polishing up the game and implementing a bunch of really small features/ bug fixes

It's time for another huge content update!


The screenshots really don't do this map justice—the amount of detail I put into this one is incredible :)

Play Capture the Flag on two sides of the same castle! There's huge verticality, bridges, hideouts, and parts of some towers are even enterable!

Other

• I've also bumped the number of maps in the map vote to 6 to accomadate
  

[h3]Hardened Bullet[/h3]

This is a new always active passive ability

• The first bullet of the mag deals 1.5X damage. For example, the damage for the AK is something like [48, 23, 23, 23 etc]. For the shotgun pistol, one of the pellets is randomly chosen to do 1.5X damage
  
• Overall it's a pretty unique ability, there will be more abilities soon that modify game rules or centre around combat rather than movement. Let me know on the Paint Warfare Discord if you have ideas!
  

[h3]Med Kit[/h3]

• This replaces the old 'Heal' ability with something that's also useful for cooperation team-based modes. If you bought the old heal ability, you'll have this automatically unlocked
  
• You can throw the medkit down to your feet (instantly drops) or anywhere you like
  
• It deals a small explosion where it drops where it heals 30HP for you/teammates in the radius
  
• It then heals 10HP every second for 8 seconds for you/teammates standing in the radius
  
• So essentially if you see one of your allies are low, you can throw the medkit at them and heal them :)
  

[h3]Overhauled: Glider[/h3]
The glider has been due for an overhaul for ages, it's been hardly used because it was weak and it also wasn't very fun to use.

• Momentum: if you fly downwards for long/fast enough, you build up momentum in your glider which you can use to fly up really fast as well
  
• Buffed the overall speed of the glider
  
• Added wind SFX depending on the speed, and the camera now zooms slightly depending on how fast you're going
  

[h3]Overhauled: Radar[/h3]

• The radar was very weak, so now on top of showing enemies through walls, it now displays directional arrows around your crosshair to reveal nearby enemies to you
  

[h3]Overhauled: Super Speed Boots[/h3]

• Super speed boots now increase speed while midair as well
  

This was the suggestion of some of the members on our community Paint Warfare Discord Server. I've only added it to the new castle map for the time being.

• Reworked a lot of the code base to minimise bugs and speed up future development time
  
• Fixed the consistency of double jumping—sometimes double jumping would not always work
  
• Fixed the glider not activating correctly
  
• Fixed the equip buttons not updating in the respawn armoury when changing from primary -> secondary weapons
  
• New quality option: Max (increases shadow rendering distance and makes them look a lot nicer by smoothing them)
  
• Smaller bug fixes
  

• Fixed performance issues
  
• New invert Y/X mouse options
  
• Organised keybinds menu
  
• New curated featured video feature to support Paint Warfare creators
  
• Fixed the grapple being "locked" respawn armoury
  
• Fixed a bug where the ingame pause/options menu would become broken and not show up
  
• Fixed some interactions in the menu so you can use the [esc] key to exit more menues
  

I feature quality videos I genuinely like—they can be in any language Paint Warfare supports and I'll show it to that game audience.

Most likely I'll find it on youtube but if you've made something you're genuinely proud of, send it in the Discord server or email it to me and I'll check it out!

I've been pretty busy doing a lot of freelance work and studying for exams recently so I apologise that the patches have been small incremental improvements.

My goal is to get the game into a super polished, bug-free state at the moment so we can grow our player base and then I'll add features :)

However, some exciting news is that I'll be dropping 1-2 new maps later this week

• Fixed a critical bug some people experienced on the last update that prevented XP/coins from being earnt

• Fixed a bug that would cause the match timer to break when loading
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the health bar to get stuck on a red colour
  
• Fixed a bug with Fast/Super fast graphics settings on Apple Silicon macs that caused a grey screen
  
• Fixed a visual bug that caused the in-match weapon switcher weapon to show up in the map
  
• Typing in chat while in the pause menu no longer triggers the button hotkeys
  
• Fixed a rendering bug that caused the Galaxy skin and Blaze skin to show up in the menu on the player (even if it wasn't unlocked)
  
• You can no longer shoot team mate turrets
  
• Fixed team rebalancing
