Boring Man v2.0.0 beta10 is now available

This update is just polishing things up before this week. If you're waiting for the game to go free-to-play on November 29th, there is now an in-game count down timer which will unlock automatically. No updating will be needed! It's like pre-loading but stupider.

General Changes

Added a count down timer for free-to-play players
Slightly increased base weapon change speed
Tweaked the hitboxes to be more like 1.2.7.7 (Not in the bad way)
You can now drone hop on teammates drones when friendly fire is enabled
Exiting the drone camera now has a little delay to stop you from moving around accidentally
Made adjustments to the bouncepad area in Boring Man Fields 1
Made improvements to netcode visuals
Made improvements to the hit registration

Survival Changes

Made boss missions in Survival more rare
A second simultaneous boss will now possibly spawn after wave 70
Starting money for newly joined Survival players now scale with wave progress
Reduced the movement speed multiplier for advanced enemies (strong, elite, etc)
Reduced wave requirement for encountering the Manlings back down to 100 again

I noticed players were able to completely control which bosses spawn, so while I don't want to completely disallow that, RNG bosses should appear more often. I didn't want to lower the chance of encountering a mission boss, because it would be frustrating to hold onto a mission and have to rely on a bunch of dice rolls to complete it, instead I dropped the chance the mission would appear, so players could still be guaranteed a boss when they take the mission. Two bosses can possibly spawn at once now at wave 70 and after, and I might scale multiple bosses with wave progress in the future. The second boss is always a random boss, it does not follow player mission needs. Next, it isn't fun joining in late, I thought an obvious change would be to give new players more money. It scales at a flat rate with wave progress, so players can't game the economy with starting money. I might need to do more to buff new players, I'm open to any suggestions! I think the advanced enemies being super fast got kind of annoying, so I slowed them down. Reaching end game Survival is hellishly long, so the increase to wave 120 for the Manlings was unnecessary and has been reverted.

Bug Fixes

Fixed Survival money sometimes experiencing an integer overflow
Fixed an issue where you would join a passworded server after cancelling the join (then time out)
Fixed comic text not displaying correctly when firing a weapon with a drone
Fixed the misplaced water object on Oil Rig
Fixed an issue where a little packet loss would stop you from connecting to a server
Fixed some advanced Survival enemies not getting the movement speed increase
Fixed some issues with the AI on Boring Man Fields 1
Fixed Suicide Vests explosion damage and hitbox
Fixed drones being able to push teammate drones while friendly fire is disabled
Fixed being able to carry off hand weapons without a primary weapon using the Find and Deliver mission
Fixed some Survival enemies not getting the speed increase when theyre advanced
Fixed drones not reporting the correct max health amounts

Boring Man - Online Tactical Stickman Combat is the greatest 2D stickfigure shooter you've never heard of. Enlist into the petty armed conflict of Somewhere Land, where a civilization of agile stickfigures fight for their lives with high powered weapons against an evil, world destroying sorcerer, only known as The Man.

Too many weapons!

Boring Man offers over 70 weapons to choose from.. assault your enemies on a skateboard with a minigun, strap your shotgun to a flying drone and blast somebody's head remotely, or take advantage of the dynamic dual-wielding system where you can combine various weapons to hold in each hand.

Easy to learn, difficult to master

Combined with a horde of weapons, B-Man's in-depth platforming takes your competitive 2D shooter experience to another level. Walljumping, double jumping, rolling.. and a silky smooth collision system so you never miss a beat. Did I mention there's ladder tech? There is lots and lots of ladder tech.

Over 8,000 weapon skins

Quantity over quality baby!!! Earn XP to unlock weapon skins.. can you collect them ALL? Brag and show off your super rare finds to other poor saps, or recycle your trash skins for a chance to get a better one. No trading or sketchy Steam economy crapola here! I absolutely do think that's a selling point!

Create your own weapon skins easily with the weapon skin creator, or import custom artwork using the easy to use sprite modding system. Upload your weapon skins to the Workshop to be judged by yours truly, and I might add it to the game officially. (with you credited of course)

7 game modes, tons of custom game settings

Get in touch with your competitive side with the ever-so grueling Team Deathmatch, defend yourself from The Man's forces with your friends in Survival co-op, or fight against the undead horde lest you end up joining it in Zombrains.

Create your perfect Boring Man madhouse with tons of wacky mutators and settings, such as the Corrupted Weapons mutator, which haphazardly randomizes every weapon into game breaking nonsense.

Portforwarding? That boomer network engineer bullcrap?! Not anymore! Host a server from your home network with little to no effort at all with P2P networking.

Built-in map editor + Workshop support

Make your own maps with the map editor! You can import custom images, take advantage of the advanced logic gate system to make in-depth maps, and even share your maps or download maps made by others with Workshop support!

Cool DLC to buy that pays for the developer's rent

Want even more? Get Boring Man Premium and have extra customization features for your stickfigure soldier, such as hats and colored bullets. Special animated DLC weapon skins are also available. B-Man is NOT pay-to-win, and its developed and maintained by one guy, so no publisher is involved.
