    How about changing the FPS cap? Something in the options menu: 30 FPS, 60 FPS, No Limit or something like that ;)

    I think the problem is getting to 30fps not limiting it to that.

    I fucking hate trapezoids.

    Also KaG devs if you could release more videos and maybe a hand shandy and a coffee that'd be great.

    Getting kinda antsy over here waiting. I've been thinking of remaking the capture the flag game mode and fixing everything about it I feel is broken, as well as making maps balanced around it, with this new scripting build I'll have to dig in deep and see if what I want to do is possible.

    If you actually got around to testing you'd know that some of the tester folk are already digging around with that, mcwhiskey ;)

    Also, fwiw the FPS is currently limited because the game logic has to update at 30fps by design, and the graphics rendering faster than that doesn't make sense without some kind of interpolation, which we dont have at this point.

    I'm torn.

    In a way, I think the farming mechanics are well made, and the hat looks awesome.

    On the other hand.. Is it necessary? Having to use food to keep tickets is a great idea for Roleplay servers for example but for a game mode like this, I don't know. I guess I'll have to find out if it works well when I get to play it :)

    Will we be able to farm with no sunlight (like huge underground farm)?

    With all this stuff about scripting weapons and all that crazy stuff, I'm becoming less and less excited for some reason.

    >seems simple
    i worry it will be really complex
    can a tester write a small step by step guide on what to do plz? :3
    Edit:
    hey classic kag was super simple compared to this
    >spawn
    >select class
    > kill
    >win

    >get seeds from base
    >put in ground (cleared dirt)
    >beat up plant
    >pick up grain
    >put in base as food

    Pretty simple.

    Food is used to speed up spawning, not as a hard "tickets" system, since it's hard to rely on players to farm when they need to if they aren't paying attention (a problem I'm sure you guys know well, haha). We'll be balancing the numbers over time with testing of course.

    As to whether farming is necessary, it remains to be seen on a large scale, but it's there to allow a team to constantly spawn, like in unlimited kag, without the stalemate situation brought about by having no tickets (stalemate by flooding) or having tickets that run out (stalemate by camping), and to put those builders that flat out refuse to be on frontline to good use.
    The other seeds also let you renew your wood sources, which is a major issue in current KAG ("whoops, killed the trees, doomed the team!").

    The head is misaligned in the video btw, I know. However, there are a lot of new heads in this build, so that should balance it out ;)
