Devlog Trench Run Trench Run Free Weekend ON NOW! 5-7 FEB!

Really pleased with the turn out.

For those having trouble logging in:
Can you please let us know exactly what is failing, and the steps you need to take to make it fail. Please include your keyboard layout if it's not EN-US/QWERTY, your OS and OS version, and if you have any fancy characters in your password.
We're aware that the input screen for that is substandard - it's something MM hacked together reasonably quickly and isn't treated by the OS as a normal input field, so there's all sorts of problems with it. We're not trolling you, we just need to know where it's not working so we can add that functionality.

Game Comment Responses:
- engineer op!
sort of :) the explosion time of the assault's grenade can be worked around by cooking the grenade, which allows very exact positioning almost anywhere within the screen (including around corners). The C4 can be destroyed, but it can be finicky particularly if it's still in the air (though I've seen mid-air shots with sniper).

- infinite crates? madness!
We'll definitely be changing it to some limit. Currently we're thinking 5 crates worth.

- different radius explosives maybe?
The radius is unlikely to be changed, as keeping it the same between the explosives keeps it consistent to understand where is safe/where isnt. If it was different ranges for each explosive it'd be quite hard to eye-ball the distance in the thick of battle. Things are chaotic enough as it is.

- AI very stupid
I think I know which changes caused this :) I'll be writing a semi-proper engineer AI for next build.

- both versions of engineer could co-exist!
We're set on 5 classes for the 5v5 run format. Definitely possible in a mod though if someone's feeling creative. We felt that the desync on the rocket was too bad to be included in the finished game; and it's much too unstable a system to be an easy fix, unfortunately.

- should be called demo-man
We're definitely considering a name-change. Demolitions is high on the potential list.

- more warnings for stuff costing money/not being revertable
Yep, noted. It does make me laugh a little though, the outrage of someone who's accidentally swapped their super suit for a hat.

- layered skins?
not gonna happen, sorry.

- suicide penalty in skirmish
might be added. We need to get a maximum round count implemented first though to avoid stalemates and laming from clogging up servers.

- VIP drinks expensive
This is totally intentional. This is how it works IRL (fancy bars have twice as expensive beer) so its a (fairly lazy and obscure) social commentary. The only benefit of the VIP bar is smoking (which is bad for you) and status. And I guess the lady bartender if you're a bit of a creep. The VIP bar does allow roof access with some sneaky jumping now though which allows retrieving lost balls.

- basketball lost off the edge
be careful with it :) it does allow some griefing though. We'll consider alternatives but considering the measly cost and that coins will be a fair bit easier to earn once regular/masters lobbies open up (once the population can support them), I'm not too worried about @makmoud98 being a shitter.

- 8 kills skirmish
this will be coming back soon, but for the free weekend we decided to keep it casual and fast

- bug reports
thanks! Would be great to have these in some separate threads though


Thanks again for the great turn-out folks. Enjoy the rest of the event, and hopefully some of you liked the game enough to support us and buy it ;)

 

Be sure to slam-dunk all day with it. I'll be adding more frames, MM just added it before it was finished so it's kinda like the bison in KAG in some ways ;)

 

my favorite thing to do in lobby is to walk up to the kids playing basketball, steal their ball, and throw it outside of the map. uhhh get rekt

 

Code should be expired now and all the users who used it should be back to normal account. I hope guys that you had fun.

EDIT: If you have bought the game - you should be able now to redeem your real code and get TR permanently. :)

 

Did you purchase the game?

 

There seems to be some error with login, you might want to try to change your pass to something different.

 

Actually, anyone experiencing that bug - please send me PM here on forums with what passwords have you used. You don't have to really share the exact password but that would help with debugging the issue.
Sharing password with me is in general a bad idea so if you're hesitant as you ought to be - then just tell me how long your password was and what kind of signs did it contain. Any special characters?
[alphanumeric, alphanumeric with capital letters, special characters - !@#$%^&*() etc., space, High ASCII signs - śćßçáüñœöáõøãä etc. (and anything not not in default ASCII table, let's call it unicode scope)]
