A very productive 4 days after the last update, really hope I can keep this pace up, here's a long list of changes:

• Projectiles can now be avoided if the `.m` attibute of the target changes or the target moves away more than ~72 pixels (to be improved later on, higher for healing) - `.m` attribute changes on transport/teleport
• Improved the "hit" event documentation and added "action"/"incoming"/"target_hit" game/character events
• New system: Penalty Cooldown, when you equip an item, `character.s.penalty_cd` is incremented 120ms - when you attack, your cooldown is increased by this cumulative (but decaying) amount - I suspect the dynamics might change with feedback
• New Item: Frost Bow
• New Projectiles: Fire Bow, Frost Staff, Harbringer, Oozing Terror
• Fire, frost weapons, harbringer now have 2 looks on characters - one resting and one active look
• This is internally a major change, significantly refactored how players/monsters (aka. entities) are sent and processed, they are now bundled with `start` and `new_map` socket events, so there's no vision delay when you first enter a map - Also, more importantly, when you focus an unfocused browser tab, parent.entities no longer become empty momentarily, it's always populated now, this change might break some things with a low probability
• Save code works in bank if you don't change the slot name
• Improved Dragold, new skill charging UI, multi burn has a different projectile, added armor/resistance, nerfed the multi burn damage and interval
• Monster state restoration fixed (when the monster teleports back to its spawn), previously the contribution was reset for bosses, and the announcement was re-sent
• When the server restarts, monsters that drop to 1HP no longer provide 100% drop and count as 1 kill, their drop is proportional to their hp and they count as 2.2X of their progress - so if a boss is only at 10% - it counts as a 0.22 kill - if it's at ~50% - it counts as a whole kill - going to document all these arbitrary multipliers at one point
• Added "death" game events
• New code function: get_focus
• Increased Fire Roamers' essence drop rate
• Monsters can now die from burn too
• Both monsters and players can now die from damage return
• New public character property: `.pdps` - exact metric that's used to calculate party share %
• Evasion now contributes to both `.pdps` and coop points, burn contributes to `.pdps` A lot of other small changes as well (for example traps can now kill players)

Phew, it has also been 1 year in Early Access, was planning to do a review of year, but better not demotivate myself, doesn't feel like it was a productive year :)

There are no quests, no guides you have to strictly follow to the letter. No objectives either. You can do anything you want. Even farming the lowest monster will yield satisfactory results! You can trade, gamble in tavern, party with friends, pvp solo with your rouge or go after rare loots!


Adventure Land wasn't originally a Code based game, during early development, it ended up a bit like a Clicker MMORPG, simple but fun. Then came Code, to let machines do the clicking! So it's not something extremely complex no one can understand, it's just basic automation!


Mage, Warrior, Rogue, Ranger, Priest and Merchant. All with different, easy to understand, but unique skills. There are no skill trees or the need to pick attributes, it's all automatic to keep things simple. Items provide some depth, and Code adds some variation to the mix.


There's a lot to work on. Daily Events, Paladin Class, Pets, Guilds (or Familias, as they will be small), New Zones, New Items, New Skills. All features are shaped and vetted by the playerbase.
