Boring Man v2.0.0 beta15a is now available

This update is mostly bug fixes and hopefully helps with some glaring weapon balance problems. This may be the last update you'll see from me for a while, so I wanted to make sure I fixed as many things as I could.

Weapon Balance: Light Rockets

Light Rockets can now do headshot damage with direct hits
Increased the strength for the flare when attracting rockets
Increased the pushback for the Light Rockets
Decreased the maximum ammo for the Light Rockets

Weapon Balance: Lightning Gun

Decreased the maximum ammo for the Lightning Gun

The Lightning Gun has seen a lot of use as a new mobility weapon, and many have called for a nerf. I lowered the max ammo it can carry, so users would have to be cautious when to use it. I chose to do this since I think it's a lot of fun to use, and nerfing attack speed or the push back felt like it would make it less fun. Additionally, I increased the pushback on the Light Rockets so it could compete with Lightning as a mobility weapon. I also applied headshot damage to it in order to fulfill its role as an offense weapon. The flare's orbit strength is a little stronger now as well, as I'm hoping this will give it more use.

Weapon Balance: Power Rifle

Power Rifle now has pushback
Increased the projectile speed for the Power Rifle

The Power Rifle has gone mostly ignored since I added it, it actually use to be quite a controversial weapon back in the day, so I've been cautious about how to buff it. I have restored some of its pushback value I removed many years ago similar to the Assault Rifle, and increased the projectile speed so it's range and accuracy isn't as limp.

Weapon Balance: Mortar

Increased the projectile speed for the Mortar

There's been complaints about the Mortar bounce not being as good, I thought it was a bug, but similar to the GL it actually does not follow the small random projectile speed increase that most other weapons have, I just forgot about it. This made the projectile overall slower then its old version, so I increased the projectile speed and the bounce feels a little more familiar now.

Weapon Balance: Musket

Decreased the damage fall off for the Musket

I have heard of a lot frustrations about the Musket not dealing killing blows enough, so I decreased the damage fall off. This will allow the Musket to do more damage at farther ranges, which should be rewarded since it's something that requires some skill. Remember, the damage does not fall under 50 from damage fall off, so a headshot will always do 100 damage or more.

Survival Changes

Increased amount of enemies per wave in Survival
Increased the grace period before Survival bombs start losing defuse progress
2 survival bombs will no longer spawn if theres only 1 player
Decreased spawn time for survival enemies
You no longer can lose wagers during the break period
Bomb Dudes no longer carry Frags

I was gonna make some adjustments in order to make Survival matches shorter (hardcore/classic specifically), but I've given up on it for now. 2 bombs spawning should also no longer occur for solo players, and I increased the time it takes before defusal progress starts going down.

General Changes + Bug Fixes

Added Fast Change to experimental settings
Changed Clumsy Handcannons experimental setting
Weapon drops will now get pushed out of the way by medikits + ammoboxes. This is bandaid for now as I need to redo how interactables work.
Fixed latency measurement, which should now give you a more accurate ping value. Ping is used a lot in netcode motion and prediction math, so this helped smoothed some things out
Optimized collision checking for rendering non-object water/lava
Fixed loadout menu showing the wrong skin for secondary compact weapons
Fixed grapple and magic becoming unusable after being dropped in some cases
Fixed being able to click incompatible weapons when using a gold ticket
Fixed some instances of a missing new skin notification icon
Fixed scrolling in the main menu with a controller
Fixed extra dual wielded weapons not drawing correctly on ladders
Fixed not being able to shoot from ladders with a compatible offhand weapon and incompatible primary
Fixed not being able to login in some cases because of unresolved IP addresses
Fixed some random weapon instances where youd get nothing
Fixed not being able to pick up your weapon in Weapons Deal
Fixed tracking from Tranq darts and drones showing for all players in Deathmatch/Weapons Deal
Fixed Survival mode chests not dropping medikits/ammoboxes
Fixed projectiles being destroyed too early when going up off screen
Fixed the Knife displaying the ammo hud while carried by Drone
Fixed Fiesta mode being able to turn off a fiesta mutator as a slot
Fixed weapon skins sometimes not unlocking when amassing enough skins. -- Note: The drop chance correction for the fix above seems to have made valuable skins more rare after testing.
Fixed the Mortar losing its ammo when dropped while it has a 'Nade loaded
Fixed more things

Boring Man Classic

I made a new GameJolt page for the old version, which is here. I made some very final changes to the build I uploaded there, where Premium has been made free for all, the anti-cheat disabled (without losing server list access), and the need to login through GameJolt. You do not need to download this special build and can use whatever you have sitting around still. --

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.
