Human Catapult build Released!

There is so much goodies in this build that I can wait to play it with the public! Here’s what we have in this latest installation of King Arthur’s Gold:

Every material now (wood, stone, gold, bombs and arrows) are physical game objects inside the game. This means you can:

• drop them (or use momentum to throw across walls) (default key [C])
• pick them up
• healing heart can be picked up with [E] if you don’t use it

So no more lost gold after being gibbed! But there’s more:

Presenting…

the Human Catapult!

I think it is obvious what to do with this. You’ll need a teammate to help launch you. Just watch out because long falls will cause falling damage or death.

Default key for loading catapult has changed to the drop key [C] !

Besides these features there are dozens of tweaks, changes and BUG FIXES. Worth mentioning are:

• screen shake and blink (to notify you got damaged or killed)
• kill messages (now you know who killed you!)
• new charge cursors
• bouncing off walls for even more fun knight combat
• shield pushing gives sound feedback and works a lot better
• press [M] to see the entire minimap

Please read the changelog for a complete overview.
