WATCH THE TRAILER
Hey folks,
A smaller build today, mostly technical stuff.
The main game-side change is the addition of sponges to TDM. This has been requested by players as a counter to water. Sponges cost 20 coins by default in TDM.
The TDM “economy” (if it can be called that) has also been slightly reworked. The minimum coins on spawn has been dropped to 20 – meaning you can’t afford most items without some kills. There has also been a maximum imposed on coins, which is currently set to 200. This is to stop curb-stomping players from accruing hundreds of coins and spamming items just before they leave, leading to a non-game for other participants. The maximum is applied on respawn (not constantly) – so if you save extra during a game, you can still use them to finish things off.
For context, someone with 200 coins can still afford 2 kegs, or 4 mines, or 8 water arrows, or 4 bomb arrows, or 10 bombs; more than enough for any reasonable in-game usage.
Sponges are now in stock in TDM! Prices have changed as well, see in store for details!
The latest engine changes have also been pulled in, which means that the snap-pixels bug should finally be history, modded servers on windows now correctly download mods when specified from the API, TCPR can now handle lines up to 16kb (important for any i/o heavy tcpr based mods).
Mac users may also have a proper icon now, please let us know if that actually worked or not. Should be a little Henry head on an orange background.
These changes are, at always, up for discussion. Let us know what you think on the forums!
Have Fun!

Hey KAG Folk!
Just a small build today, fixing a few bugs and tweaking one map in particular. There’s also an experimental change in there for water-haters, so pay attention. The build should be out on all platforms in about half an hour (as of post time)
Sponges now “absorb” most of a water-stun if they’re in your inventory. The sponge is destroyed, and the stun time is reduced to 0.5 seconds from 1.5 seconds. This allows you to counter particularly water-heavy players. If it becomes particularly important, we might need some sort of visual indicator that you’re carrying sponges, but as it stands we see it as a similar “ace in the hole” to whipping out a bomb mid-fight (or a water bomb).
Clean yourself up quick-smart against water-spam tactics with sponges.
Full Changelog: [modified] some changes to CerberosRift following community feedback [fixed] shield-bashing multiple overlapped boulders sending you to space [fixed] tunnel-grapple "archer fling" [removed] a heap of unused maps (from maps/, that had been around since classic) [fixed] bug in kickafk that _could_ (but generally wouldn't) crash the server + disabled kicking local player (no more disconnect when you leave sandbox to get a cup of tea) [added] carrying a sponge partially protects you from water stuns (1 sponge per stun, sponge is destroyed, stun is reduced from 1.5s to 0.5s)
Have Fun!

Hey,
This is most likely the last patch before a major Steam release which we’re aiming at Thursday next week (no promises though). This build provides lots of fixes including engine fixes from KAG (like resolution bugs). We also added an Australia + Oceania region, so come play with nicer pings if you are from there :). Class balance feels very good now, but if you have issues feel free to comment on forums.
Get Trench Run here (if you haven’t yet).

Hey Everyone!
Been a while since it’s been “just a plain old news week”. Quite a bit has gone on both in KAG and Trench Run, so lets get down to it!
Trench Run:
This week we focussed on getting a bit more out of the pet system, with each pet having a toy that it likes to play with. These items are consumable/temporary like basketballs but let you interact in a unique way with each pet, which increases the tamagotchi factor a little. We’re unwilling to make the pets “need” food and attention at this point as that’d make people sad, but the option is there for those that want a little bit more to do in the lobby. The dog’s frisbee is my favourite!
The croc also finally has animation frames, so there’s that.
Not your average entourage
There was also work on commando functionality, and work on the drunk shader effect.
Drink distortion is a little less predictable, and affects the whole screen!
We’re looking at getting the game onto steam more or less “ASAP” – there’s not too much more that we want to do with it other than content, and steam will let us get a better idea of a realistic audience to cater to, by bringing more people for you guys to play with and getting the game into the hands of people who don’t follow THD as closely.
More costumes are also underway, more word about them next week!
As always you can buy Trench Run here: https://trenchrun.thd.vg/ – every purchase supports our work, and the more people you tell, the more people there are to play with!
KAG:
Norill and Skinney have both been working tirelessly on Steam Achievements implementation. Norill has been writing the code for each achievement and Skinney has been drawing the images needed for the little pop-ups.
Here is a selection of the icons:
In total there will be 64 hand-pixelled icons for 64 interesting achivements to unlock!
We hope the completionists out there will have fun collecting them all!
Have Fun!

Hey everyone!
The engie is still no slouch!
New build is here addressing most of the issues with the Build 9. Engineer balance has been addressed a little, many bugs have been fixed and some more lobby content has been added.
As you can see, there’s a fair bit changed, but it’s mostly little stuff. We hope you enjoy the variety available from the class skins and the less dominant engineer. Next build the class will likely be renamed, but we’ve yet to settle on a name. Look forward to seeing you in-game!
Reminder that you can buy the game here for a mere $8!
Have Fun!
Max & Michał

Hey Everyone,
There will be some down-time for moving the servers around – TR servers in Europe will be down for a few hours today.
Coins should be preserved this time around for users in that region.
The servers should be back up by morning CET, we’ll let you know if there are any bigger delays coming. Hopefully noone is majorly affected by the move. USA servers will remain online throughout.
Cheers,
Max
