Donkeys!
Welcome to the first update of Farm Fatale! While it's been a rough start due to a lack of players and wonky matchmaking I've taken steps to tackle this.
I'd love to introduce you to the Farm Fatale discord server: TADA!
I will also be getting advertising to further boost player numbers.
But now for changes to the game itself:
Patch Notes
New animal: Donkey.
Donkeys give equipment slots per 5 donkeys, so you can hold more weapons now!
New equipment: Kicker.
The kicker is a shotgun that applies donkey stacks, it does less damage the further away you are but can hit multiple targets. (10 base damage at closest distance)
New Items.
- Assault Drone: A drone that will follow the owner around and shoots nearby enemy players, applying 2 damage every second (if it doesn't miss.)
- Traveller's Backpack: Gives equipment slots (1 per stack.)
- Giant Shears: Has a chance to apply "Shaved" status effect. This effect increases the damage of all sources by 0.2x per stack.
- Spectral Sickle: Heals the holder whenever they deal damage. (1 point healed per stack every time they deal damage.)
Matchmaking.
Finally there is propper matchmaking that will always put players together in the most poulated lobby.
Chat.
There is now in game chat to say GG etc.
Misc/bug fixing
- Moozooka rockets now do slightly less damage 25 from 30 and launch players caught in the explosion a bit, as well as pushes back the player who fires it a little.
- Falling through the floor resets the player to above the ground (if they ever somehow fall through.)
- Being in the end game gas only effects the player who is actually in the gas visually as opposed to before when it only needed one player to be in the gas to show gas effects to all players.
- Coloured hit numbers to show the type of damage/ healing etc.
- Text to show in UI you can toss items.
- Now automatically reloads when pressing fire with no ammo.
+ REVISION 3 UPDATES +
Revision 3 is mostly bug fixes and quality of life stuff.
- Drones can now be shot down but will immediately respawn if the player holds the item for it.
- Drones will self detonate if their owner becomes an animal. (They don't like taking orders from animals)
- Tips on the countdown screen
- Sprint bug (should be) fixed
- You will be timed out and brought back to the main menu if matchmaking error occurs.
- Spectral Sickle nerfed to 0.5 health from 1 and no longer heals from damage to targets that are animals (as it should be.)
- (probably some other minor fixes, but I can't remember off the top of my head.)
