So uhh…
4.0 unstable has been released.
Cowboy gets a new super, temporal bullet or whatever.
Most combos should do slightly more damage,
Wiz got a smash bros Mario cape,
Cowboy teleport gets nerfed,
Meter gain after parries got changed.
That’s about it.

Idk how this even got in the star pins.
I just made a random meme.

P-P-P-P PATCH NOOOOTTTEEEESSSS!!!!!!!
Version 0.3.3!
Quick summary:
Nearly all moves are safer to use in neutral.
Ninja FINALLY got that Quick slash and Uppercut nerf.

Backdashing is now even more committal.

Cowboy got some buffs to 1000 slashes:
It now lasts twice as long and you can’t parry it unless you’ve parried something before it. It benefits greatly from the reduced endlag of everything.

Wiz orb got a buff and nerf: push orb is now a free action. Meaning you can do it, and something else at the same time I believe. Like Ninjas stick bomb. Which is a pretty good buff.
It also apparently used to cause ground bounce?
Anyway, it causes knockdown now, so that’s a nerf.

Wiz also benefits from the endlag buffs. Tho I wouldn’t say as much as cowboy.

Anyway, here are the detailed notes:
– many moves have been made safer to use in neutral, hopefully to encourage more active play.
– IASA = “interruptable as soon as,” aka “first actionable frame (on whiff)”

– returned to GLES3. some upcoming features require it and i found that there is no reason to use GLES2 since i am not currently developing for web or mobile. tell me if this breaks the game for you – i’ll look into it. but it shouldn’t.
