We have updated the experimental threads beta branch to address a few miscellaneous issues which have prevented the merging of this feature into the main branch: DX (Windows) - Resolved "failed to initialize DirectX driver" error. SDL (Windows) - Resolved softlock due to inability to allocate texture memory. SDL (Linux / Mac / Steam Deck) - Resolved distorted sprites. - Resolved softlock at launch. If you have a chance, give this branch a test and let us know if you run into any issues! You can access this branch by right clicking Fraymakers in your Steam library, clicking Properties and heading to the Betas tab. You should experience a greatly improved loading experience when starting the game, especially for those who have custom content installed. (More technical details: we moved all media processing calls such as texture loading back to the main thread. This fixes a number of issues across various combinations of builds while still allowing the more I/O heavy operations of parsing .fra file metadata to occur on a separate thread.) We have also removed the other experimental beta branch (resource unloading) for the time being. We may revisit the feature at a later time to test memory saving improvements.

What is Fraymakers?

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.
