Update #14: New Tutorial, Ice Axe, Bug Fixes

Hey folks! We have a free weekend this weekend so expect an influx of new players. Mostly bug fixes this patch but we did add a new tutorial at the start of the game and a sweet new melee weapon, the ice axe.

New Stuff

• Ice Axe
• Mine Launcher
• Moon level with lasers
• New tutorial

Bug Fixes

• Invite-Only games should work properly now
• Fixed a bunch of non-networked props in various levels
• Fixed some weird sound bugs with music stopping and Mute enabling itself randomly
• Fixed issue where player gets stuck on a vehicle if another player grabs it

Known Issues

• In some rare circumstances invited players dont notify the server when they are killed (exit and re-joining should fix this)
• Hands and feet sometimes get stuck in various objects.This is a PhysX bug and we cant fix it. BUT it is fixed in the next unity update so it will be fixed as soon as we update to Unity 2019.3.

Again, the game is FREE to play this weekend (December 7th and 8th)! Do not hesitate to invite your friends to try out the game, the whole point is to bring more players in the game for you to enjoy! Have a nice weekend everyone! <3 Webble Games

Hey everybody! The massive GUI update is live! Weve completely redone the interface for creating and joining games of Havocado. This should make it easier to find a game to join and to generally get around in the game. Were also trying a totally different tuning for the game: its fast fast fast! You now automatically pick up weapons. You also HUCK stuff when you drop it now. Anything can be a weapon if you throw it accurately. Weve added a dash move to the basic punch which helps to move around quickly and to dodge. Weve also added a wall jump to make it easier to climb large structures and to make getting around easier. Its pretty different. Let us know what you think! Also due to multiple requests weve added a mouse-centric control scheme. If you join as a keyboard and mouse player, your character now aims at a cursor and uses WASD to strafe and move. <3 -Webble

New Stuff

• Total GUI overhaul with better server hosting/creation and online game joining
  
  
  
• 4 new levels
• New mouse-aim control scheme for players without controllers
• New moves; throwing, dashing, wall jump
• Total tuning overhaul - much faster movement
• Screen shake and hit effects added

Tuning Changes

• Base player movement now done with joint movement rather than forces
• Player speed up
• Player friction much higher on the ground (can stop quickly even though you move faster)
• Fire time down
• Stun time down
• Guns fire faster
• Melee animations redone
• Retuned jetpack

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a million bugs we caused by redoing all this stuff
• Fixed mid-game joining while other people are loading the game (shouldnt break now!)

Hello everyone!

This is an announcement to let you know that in a few days a new price is about to be set for the game, and this is the last chance to get Havocado for the price of $9.99! Since the Early Access launch in April 25th, we have added 10 updates including new features, levels, weapons, items, events, game modes, and a boss fight (to be discovered after passing secret levels!) If you have wishlisted the game or you were waiting for proper updates to be added since Early Access release, it might be a good time to purchase the game before it goes to full price ($19.99) next week! Hope you enjoy the game! Webble Games

Hey everybody!

Burnables and breakables are live on the main branch. Woo! This includes the new Bridge level as well as a bunch of fixes. The progress of making all the game objects breakable and burnable is ongoing so expect stuff that isnt breakable yet to get there eventually. Weve also altered the player on fire state. Weve also retuned the Havocado form, Backhoe, and Jetskis since they were feeling a bit weird after the PhysX upgrade. Feedback on those most welcome. <3 -Webble

New Stuff

• New Suspension Bridge Level (burnable and destroyable, naatch)
• Lots more objects converted to flammable/breakable
• Wharf, Docks, Beach, Turkeyshark level all converted to be more breakable and flammable
• Added Flamethrower Objects
• Reworked Flare Gun to catch stuff on fire
• Fire propagation matrix
• Standing in water or spraying objects with water particles extinguishes them
• Player On Fire state
• Added a Slope Assist force so the player wont fell sluggish running up ramps and inclines.
• Testing different shader for environments
• Added SSAO post processing
• Visual tweaks to lots of levels
• Testing some color changes and improvements
• Shipping containers now breakable with openable doors

Tuning Changes

• Tuned turkeyshark up a bit so he should chase people around more
• Player main rigid capsule size reduced to help with get-up explosions and general stability (may cause players to fall through cracks more)
• Retuned Tank, Backhoe, Jetskis, and Drones - physX upgrade messed up all the tunings so they had to be redone. Tried to make them faster/more brutal
• Rotation lock doesnt engage when grabbed on to heavy things to prevent physics explosions. May have some unintended consequences - keeping an eye out.

Bug Fixes

• FINALLY fixed grab angle of melee weapons! :D
• Fixed yeet player explosion bug aka Taffy Mode
• Fixed Transition textures not displaying properly
• Fixed issue where laser wouldnt knock people out
• Fixed issue where getting a mushroom after bunny ears copied the player

[ 2019-09-13 16:57:49 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey all! Were ready to start rolling out two new, big, intertwined features: BURNING and BREAKING. Breakables Our intention has always been to make the environments destroyable. For this first version, were using a hand authored approach. That is, for each breakable object we design and build the broken version and hand tune it. This gives us a lot of control over how things break, though it is very time consuming. Were investigating procedural mesh shattering but for now this method is stable, good for physics, and feels good. The main downside is time: it takes a while to authour broken versions of levels by hand. Burnables Flammable objects have come to Havocado. This system is really neat; each burnable object has a Propagation Matrix that determines how fire spreads through the world. This should lead to intuitive fire spreading throughout the level. We think it looks really cool! Leon has done a fantastic job authoring this system :). In addition, the player can now catch on fire. The player can also spread fire to other objects. The whole thing is a hilarious burning mess. We hope you enjoy it and find a bunch of new interactions we havent thought of yet. As we work our way through the levels, were maintaining a Burn and Break playlist with levels that are currently being worked on. This will be set by default when the game boots, but you can switch back to All Levels by changing the playlist. Note that this update is on the EXPERIMENTAL branch. Well push it to the main branch once its stable. Comment or hop on the Webble Games discord if you need help switching to this branch.

Hey all! This weeks updates is mostly art improvements and bug fixes. Weve also tried out a new way of doing climbing - let us know what you think! Its still not quite there but it feels like a different and good direction. Weve also done some bug fixes and some improvements for the networked version of the player. <3 -Webble

Tuning Changes

• Upped the stun threshold again for players to make grappling more viable and reduce accidental stuns
• Changed the climbing to be applied at a point at the top of the player which gives climbing a very different feel
• Removed the forward force for climbing - may add it back at some point but for now its disabled to make climbing more stable
• Increased upwards climbing force
• Reduced rotation speed while on ground slightly
• Reduced gravity slightly

Level Fixes

• Crusher level new art

[ 2019-06-07 15:18:16 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey all! This week we have a level with a new dynamic were testing: the whole level can be steered and driven around like a vehicle. Weve also added a special kind of grenade that creates a localized zero gravity field. As you do. Weve also made some big improvements to character stability. The characters should recover from physics explosions a lot more gracefully, especially in the local version. Were still working on the networked player, but this should still be a big improvement. This should make grabbing on to other players, pulling them around, and hanging off of them actually possible. This was always the intention but we hadnt figured out how to make it stable enough to really work. Now it does, and we think it adds a lot to the game. You can now pull and push other non-stunned players into fans and water. Weve been having a lot of fun re-learning the game with all these new dynamics. Let us know what you think :). The secret puzzle in the Moon Pool level is now 90% functional. For those who found it already: great job! Get ready for the big update next week. KEVIN IS CLOSE. <3 -Webble

Full Changelog:

New Content

• Added Construction Barge level
• Added puzzle to Secret Moon Pool level

• Crossbow
  

Tuning Changes

• Retuned character joints to be softer and recover better from physics problems (still in progress)
• Tweaked Drone speed again
• Reduced laser beam force to a more sensible level

Level Fixes

• Fixed broken button on Skull Island level
• Fixed issue with spawn points in some levels

[ 2019-05-30 17:23:48 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey all! This week weve also added a new gun: SHARK LAUNCHER. Pretty self explanatory, tbh. Just point and shoot. Then run. Probably best to run. Weve also done an overhaul to the way that grabbing works that should make climbing better and easier. The player now maintains a list of all grabbable objects around them and tries to grab the nearest thing, sorted by importance. This means that you should be able to grab what you want a lot more naturally. For example, if youre falling off a cliff, you should be able to grab on and save yourself a lot more often. Theres also two new secret in progress levels and another level involving flying drones. Enjoy! <3 Full Changelog:

New Features

• Added special stun trigger

New Content
