Thank you to everyone who's provided feedback and the overwhelmingly positive response to our latest content update. Today we're launching a small patch to fix a bunch of the issues that were found and improve on some of the systems already in place.
We've made a lot of improvements to the bots in the game, including a way to disable them if you would like to play with only your friends. Bot pathing has been completely reworked so they will no longer get stuck if they get knocked off the path. Raptors also see some improvements that should level the playing field against those tasty humans. To disable bots on your dedicated server simply add the following code to the launch options: -NoBots When hosting a p2p match simply untick Allow Bots when starting the match. Below is a list of the changes/fixes that made it into this patch.

Additions:

- Added the ability to turn off bots in hosted games and on private servers - Added logic to bots so they can react to taking damage (provided they don't have a closer target already) - Added Raptor health regen

- Made the vote counter larger if the map has any votes - Moved reload text up away from crosshair and made text smaller - Tightened Raptor sprinting turn radius - Increased Raptor attack radius - Improved lighting in all Toybox maps - Improved lighting in all Off the Rails maps - Adjusted bot's run away mechanic. They will run away when health reaches less than 5 instead of less than 30

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed potential crash - Lowered spawn points on the plane in Picnic Panic to prevent getting stuck - Fixed incorrect win/loss screens on Toybox CTF - Fixed vote kick not showing the name of who was voted to kick - Fixed bots jittering when moving up/down slopes - Potentially fixed bots getting stuck in objects - Completely reworked bot pathing system so they will no longer just stop moving because they lost the navigation path - Fixed Facebook link being incorrect on main menu - Fixed fatal error crash when p2p host quit the match - Fixed potential for extremely rare issue where main menu widgets wouldn't load and players could get stuck at main menu - Fixed navigation in Hamster FFA map - Fixed issue where bots could potentially not attack targets but instead would just jitter aiming at the target - Fixed collision on lemonade container in Picnic Panic - Fixed potential for Raptor to run in place when killed

BOTS!!!!

The big news of course is that BOTS are finally available in The Mean Greens! Bots are automatically added to any team deathmatch or free for all map.

New Maps

New Map Gamemodes

We've also created Team Deathmatch and Free For All versions of our current maps. Some of these maps are the same as the current versions, others are slightly altered and some are completely reworked for these game modes! Toybox Assault even gets a capture the flag game mode!

Ranks & Leaderboards

This update also sees our ranks and leaderboards implemented. Ranks are increased as players gain more and more experience, and are the perfect way to show everyone how skilled you are. Work your way up from Private all the way to Commander. Then check the leaderboards to see how you stack up against your friends.

New Characters

5 new unique soldier characters have been added to the game and we've also added the ability to choose which character you spawn as in the new Customization menu.

Optimizations and Bug Fixes

Throughout development we have been making massive improvements to the optimization of the game with some maps seeing significant frame rate improvement. Complete systems have been reworked to be more efficient and overall the game should run much smoother for everyone.

Happy Holidays from Virtual Basement

We hope everyone is having a great holiday season! Hopefully you are getting to spend time with loved ones and getting some quality gaming time in as the year draw to an end.

Ranking System

In addition to bots players have been asking for a ranking system, and we've been listening. We have a ranking system designed and are working on implementating. We're not quite ready to outline the details of how the ranking system will works quite yet but I can assure everyone that it will not give players with higher ranking any advantages over lower ranked players.

More Maps

On top of all that awesomeness we're still designing and developing more maps/modes for The Mean Greens all being released in FREE updates! Here's a few maps/modes that are in development: - Picnic Panic - Jurassic Plastic - Halloween Hustle - And More!
