What is Fraymakers?

Fraymakers is the ultimate customizable platform fighting game, featuring a cast of some of indie gaming's biggest icons. Duke it out with up to 4 players, and call on assists to help out in the heat of battle. Create or play custom characters, stages, modes, and more for infinite fun!

Key Traits

Easy to pick up, hard to master - Fraymakers is designed to be friendly to new players and challenging and expressive for veteran players. You’re going to have a ton of fun whether you want a quick round with your friends or you’re looking to climb the leaderboards.
Rollback Netcode - If you’ve been part of the fighting game community over the past few years, you know that rollback is the gold standard for fighting game netcode. We’ve prioritized and designed around rollback from the outset of development, meaning that Fraymakers will provide the smoothest possible online experience.
Full Movesets - With over 80 animations per character, we've skipped nothing! Each character comes complete with every motion and attack you've come to expect from a platform fighter as well as some brand new techniques.
Assists - Choose from a massive selection of indie characters to unleash an attack, fire a projectile, buff your character, or inflict a special status effect on your foes.
...And Infinite Expandability! - We designed both the game and our custom content editor to be accessible and powerful. We want the process of creating your own content to be simple and fun. Whether you're a player or a creator, this means that the possibilities are endless.

[u]Menus[/u]

Replays

Added General Options and Boxes and Visuals tabs to the pause menu. The options available are not listed in full in these patch notes, but they can largely be found in the training mode section above, with a few omissions that dont work in replays.

[u]Custom Content[/u]

Quality of Life Updates

Layer type deprecation warnings removed
- The functionality behind "behind", "front", "bg", and "fg" layering options will remain in place for the foreseeable future. Note that the game will continue to place content in their respective original layers, which might result in unexpected visuals. If you run into any issues and for future content, we recommend the use of the new FOREGROUND_FRONT_CONTAINER and BACKGROUND_BEHIND_CONTAINER constants, which allow for more explicit placement of foreground and background elements.
New StatusEffectType constant: DAMAGE_LOCKED (See https://github.com/Fraymakers/fraymakers-api-docs/blob/main/docs/classes/StatusEffectType.md )

Grabs

Thrown characters are now locked into the exact place you specify with the grabHoldBox. Previously they would lag behind the point slightly if there was any velocity on the thrower.
