Muckdate 3

Hey everyone,

Hope you're all doing well. I've been working on adding more content to Muck, as well as an actual story / ending to the game.

Story

• There is now an ending to Muck, allowing you to complete the game. This is optional, and you can just ignore it if you wish to muck around forever,
• New unknown structure now spawns randomly somewhere on the island...

New Enemies

• Bob (Dragon)
• Guardian (Boss)

Gameplay

• You can now swim (and drown)
• Changed terrain generation slightly
• Adjusted some difficulty curves (slightly harder)
• Mobs hopefully shouldn't phase through objects too much anymore

New Items

• Maps (Common)
• Gems (Rare)
• Night Blade (Rare)
• Black Shard (Rare)
• Ruby (Uncommon)
• Obamium Ore / Bar (Uncommon)

New Resources

• Obamium Ore
• Ruby
• Caves containing resources

Other

• Can see other players on map
• Fixed a bug where music wouldn't play
• Resources now always spawn a minimum amount, so you are guaranteed to find everything

Accessibility

• Can now invert mouse x and y axis separately

If you don't automatically get the update, try to reinstall the game :) I'll be working on adding achievements next. Not sure what else, so leave some suggestions if there's anything specific you'd like.

Muck Update1

Hey everyone, Thanks a lot for a pretty insane launch, already 500k downloads. I didn't really expect it to blow up so much, so I'll try to update very frequently, and keep up with everything. There have been a lot of complaints about balancing, so I've made a bunch of changes to mob difficulties, especially Big Chunk. It remains almost unchanged for "Gamer" difficulty, but easy and normal should not be as hard anymore.

Big changes

• Changed item cap from 64 to 69
• New respawn system; on death you spawn a grave. Can only be used during day.
• Revive totems allow you to revive teammates without being close to the grave, but comes at a price.
• "Buff" enemies can now spawn randomly, and will drop better loot.
• Versus mode / Battle royale is now more fast pace, and you gather resources at 2x the speed.

Minor changes

• Chest prices increase with time, hopefully to balance things out a bit more.
• Profanity filter. A few streamers have tried the game, and uh Twitch management. Need i say more?
• Free camera when spectating
• Displays when stations is in use

If you don't automatically get the update, try to reinstall the game :)
