Devlog KAG Build 2804 - New Maps, Tweaks, and Holiday Cheer!

This build brings a wintery look and feel to a lot of the in-game assets. It's a bit strange from down here in Australia, but honestly a pleasant enough reprieve from the heat. Don't worry, it's not permanent - we'll roll back the asset changes some time after the new year. Special Thanks to Mazey, Franek, Vamist, GoldenGuy, Ferre, and the folks who helped test it out over on discord, for their part in this cheerful event.



There'll be some extra special effects - falling snow, and periodic deliveries of presents - over the week of xmas. The exact timing will vary with the region, but it'll be hard to miss when it happens.

There's also 4 new TDM maps courtesy of the map mods and everyone who voted in #democracy. Keep an eye out for FG_SpaceInvader, Super_Gaming_Geek_Trilevel, Biurza_Cock_Fight, and Vans_Ziraeth! One of them was more contentious so if it proves problematic, we'll take it out.



A few fixes and quality of life changes have made their way over from the collaborative github as well, in the few weeks since last build. The big one is that water bombs/arrows do half the stun on hitting shielded knights, which got put through #democracy and came out positive. Check the changelog for more, and be sure to join the official discord if you'd like to take part in these polls!

Also - please welcome Epsilon as our newest internal contributor! Eps has really proven himself over the last few weeks making countless changes to many areas of the game over on github. We're looking forward to working more closely with him.

Happy Holidays everyone - See you in the new year!
Love From THD
