Boring Man v2.0.0 beta14 will be available July 19th

Hey. Sorry this update took so long, but I guess with all the free time off we're all getting, I took it as an opportunity to overhaul the code base. I reworked a lot of back end systems and everything is running a lot more efficiently. One major rework is the mutators system. Mutators that disable XP gain have been separated into their own class of server settings called "cheats". You can enable Cheats in your Server Setting menu, similar to how you enable Mutators in beta13. This new mutators system allows me to add mutators quite easily, and be able to efficiently define them as normal mutators, cheats, mutators as a global setting, or cheats only as a team-specific setting. You can also see which mutators or cheats are enabled when in a server
I added a bunch of new console commands, but 2 of them related to above are the commands "mutatorsetting" and "setmutatorplayer". These commands will allow you set Mutator or Cheat settings in-game, and additionally apply a cheat or a mutator to individual players. And yes, you can use these commands through the map editor logic system. Anyhow thats just one example of a system I've redone. There's a lot more but I'd rather spend the effort sharing all of it through the official change log. All that is cool but where's da content? There's still quite a bit of new content in this next update, I've already shared a few new weapons such as the Nitrogen Charge and the Mulelslapper Sentry. But wouldn't you know it, next update will have ALL original grenades and equipment available.
Additionally, the Fire Uzi and the Burst Pistol have been added as well. See anything else you might recognize? Survival mode has also undergone some big changes, and I have reworked a lot of vices. I have also added 3 new vices, but they're a special kind where they're incredibly powerful but hard to find. What do you think will they do?
This is just a teaser announcement for now, but a few more things you can expect:

2 new game modes: Weapons Deal and Take Over have been added
The XP system has been rebalanced to level up a lot of faster, and community-triggered triple XP weekends have been implemented
Fancy blood splatter decal system
Some interesting new weapon mechanics, such as a new alt-fire for the Bow.

I also wanted to announce this next update, v2.0.0 will take over as the default launch option on Steam, and the old version will be moved to a separate download branch. Players have been having trouble being able to launch v2.0.0 as default so I think its time to start switching things over. I will still host v1.2.7.7 servers for the time being, but once I feel like v2.0.0 has 'caught up' with the old version's content then its time to say adios to 1.2.7.7. Thanks for your support and patience. See you July 19th.

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.
