MEGAJUMP news & patch notes

Rocky road here

As you all know the path here has been rocky with the game files getting corrupted and tons of other work outside of this game so this update is long overdue but its finally here!

Challenge Level 2

Lore

Challenge Level 2 takes place in the City of Batou in China. This High-rise environment houses some of the wealthiest and greatest people in all of china all the way from the great street merchants to the wealthy venture capitalists this city unites the people of the nation. Mr. Mega is here to uncover information about a top secret missile project orchestrated by the HOLYSNAKE to get an edge in the Battle of Eternal Control.

New Mechanics

Blue Field

https://i.imgur.com/o9xaobW.png As you all know, hitting walls in MEGAJUMP decreases your speed. However, if you hit a wall inside of a Blue Field you Gain speed. Think of it as a Speed boost bounce. Just remember to not hold any direction when charging up a Speed Bounce Jump inside of the Aura

Yellow Field

https://i.imgur.com/HJ8disQ.png This is a very special Field. Whenever you enter a yellow field the your upwards momentum will exponentially increase causing you to gain more and more upwards speed the longer you are inside of the Yellow Field. You can make some very interesting plays with this!

Glowing Pink

https://i.imgur.com/Icm4V8L.png Any glowing platform colored pink will reset your vertical momentum meaning that if you are falling really fast the Glowing Pink platform will make it so you fall with initial gravity instead. Same goes for upwards momentum. This is mostly used to make certain parts more consistent.

New Song!

For this map we got the Epic musician CPHMANIA to create a song. This song is actually slapping hardcore. Make sure to check him out on Youtube and Spotify as DJ FGT (DJ Fortnite Gamer Twitch) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXRiQCiY40iL_gZpdH9tc5Q

Other Changes

We made some changes to the "Walking off platform" mechanic. Now your speed when walking off the platform will always be half of the maximum forward speed when jumping meaning that the speed will be more consistent.

Hello Jumpers!

Good News!

We have not updated you in quite some time now because we have had difficulties with the source code for the game being corrupted and have been trying hard to "uncorrupt" them but we come with good news today. We have successfully uncorrupted the source code and are running tests to see if everything is up to par and ready for further development. This means that if everything checks out we can start developing Challenge map 2 and 3 as promised in the Season 2 announcement!

Recent Influx of Players

We have seen a recent spike in players and it has come to our attention that a couple of streamers have checked out the game. We find this really cool and welcome all new players to the game with open arms. If anyone has any questions or wish to give feedback the community tab for the game has a forum that people usually respond to as new topics are created! Also feel free to try out the Time Trial mode to compete on global steam leader boards or if you are really trying to challenge yourself you can record your speedrun and submit it to the MEGAJUMP category on Speedrun.com!

Thanks!

Thank you all for sticking with us and cheering us on from the sidelines. We promise to work hard to get the challenge levels released and might start working on another game afterwards.

Hello MEGAJUMPERS! We would absolutely love it if you all were to nominate MEGAJUMP for the "Labor of Love" category for the Game Awards! We strive to add more updates to the game and the updates aren't stopping for a while. We are still working hard on making the Steam Inventory system to work with skins so that we can have even more community interaction (maybe even workshop skins for modding). We absolutely love the community we have created and would be nothing without you all! Share this news with all your friends and ask them to Nominate MEGAJUMP for the Labor of Love category as it may help grow the MEGAJUMP community to new heights. I'm sure all the Runners of this game would love some more competition in the Time Trial maps! Thank you all for all the support along the way! Have fun Jumping, and try not to fall!

Made the main game easier but Time Trial remains the same as before. Made hitting the wall while jumping more consistent. Now if your speed is low enough you glide along the wall instead of bouncing back or stopping dead.

Hello, Minor update to the game. We have updated the Steam engine that Unity uses to better get data from the Steam servers. With this we were able to add the timetrial records at runtime to the maps so Updated scores should be visible at the start of every Time Trial map. We also increased the speed of which the text in the tutorial gets written to the screen! We are working on the "skin" update but we don't have any ETA on when its done. thanks for staying patient!

Hello fellow Jumpers! He heard you loud and clearly, some people were struggling with the concept of the game so we decided to create a brand new Tutorial level which you get asked if you want to play before loading into the main game. We have also added the Tutorial Level as a separate Time Trial map for you to play and compete for the best time on with an accompanying global steam leaderboard. In addition to this we figured out how to dynamically change the sensitivity of the camera so we have added options in the menu to change both the X axis and Y axis sensitivities. These settings will be saved automatically when you close out of the settings menu. Lastly we have done a complete rework of the animation infrastructure of the Character making it so that we in the future can much more easily add more models, characters and of course skins to the game as some people have wished for already! Thanks for the patience! I am a one man team working on this game on the side as a hobby so I hope you all enjoy it. Feel free to interact on the community pages and start speedrunning the game! Thank you all for playing!

Major bugfix

There was a bug in the games programming where it would create a sound file every frame the game was running which caused the sound engine to use more and more of the machines resources until it crashed and the sound would stop. This also caused the game to use a lot more of the RAM and CPU than required. I have now fixed this issue so performance should be better than before and the sound should not stop after about 30 minutes of gameplay anymore. Thanks for the patience.

We found a bug with the Leaderboard Scoring where it would only publish your Leaderboard Scores if you got a time better than the achievement limit but this has now been changed so whenever you beat a time trial map your time will automatically be uploaded to the Global Steam Leaderboards. Also changed some of the back end files so performance should be a bit better on lower end systems. Again, Thank you all for playing the game. We really hope you are enjoying the game and we are happy to announce that Challenge Level 2 is in full development.

Hello fellow Jumpers!

We are happy to announce that

Global Steam leaderboards

for the Time Trial modes are now visible on the Community tab. Whenever you complete any Time Trial level under 60 minutes it records your score and uploads it to the Steam Leaderboards so that you can always see who has the best time and which time you need to beat! Currently there is only one person with a time on the Leaderboards so there is plenty of space to try and take the Speedrun Records for each level. To get to the Leaderboards you need to navigate to the community hub and press the "View Stats" button as shown in the image below. Here you can navigate through all the different Time trial Leaderboards. https://i.imgur.com/JbS0na4.png As the rest of the Challenge levels are added to the game the Leaderboards will be active. We can already inform that Challenge Level 2 is in works so you can look forward to that. We will make an announcement when it is released so that all Jumpers have a chance of getting the World Record. There is also a leaderboard on the Speedrun.com website dedicated for MEGAJUMP so if you are a streamer or speedrunner you can always submit your runs there as well for a more curated list. This is very helpful when it comes to developing new strats or to learn strats from other people. Click the image to go to the Speedrun.com page. https://i.imgur.com/eljrqSV.png

HERE WE GO!

Friday is a huge day. After 4 over months of development SEASON 2 of MEGAJUMP will release + an all new Time Trial mode unlocked after beating the game once. Not only that, the graphics engine has been completely overhauled to better represent the modern aesthetic of Mega Jumping

Graphics

We have completely rebuilt the entire map from the ground up with PBR textures and new Geometry. There is also an Overworld which can be accessed by using a secret teleporter somewhere on the map.

Time Trial Mode

Once you beat the game once (or change the save file) you unlock the brand new Time Trial mode where you get to race against your friends in trying to beat the game with the fastest time possible. Your best time gets submitted to a Global steam leaderboard in milliseconds so people can much easier check who has the best time. In time trial mode you can pause the game at any time and restart the level from the start without having to manually walk back to the start. At Launch the Time Trial launches with 3 maps

• Pit of Despair
• The Bog
• Challenge Level 1

Pit of Despair is the normal map you all know and love but with some minor changes closing off areas like the Bog. The Bog is the Bog Level plus the Pit of Despair levels combined into one. Challenge Level 1 is a completely new map with new mechanics to figure out. I hope you all enjoy the new map as we have spent quite some time developing it.

Time Trial Challenge Pack

As an added bonus to the Season 2 Release there will be a total of 2 more challenge levels released for the time trial mode as time progresses. These levels have yet to be developed but will come as free content updates in due time. https://i.imgur.com/Fhk7ONs.png

Achievements

There are a bunch of new achievements for the game to collect and figure out. Some are easier than others. There are two new NPC characters added to the Pit of Despair which can be found in normal play mode. Can you find them both? I hope you all enjoy this update and have a good time playing it!

Quality of Life update. - Added full XBOX 360 / ONE controller support (maybe PS4/5 controller works, idk I dont have one) - Settings are now saved in a file so that they are preserved through exits. - Added Vsync option to settings for lower end machines

Since the twitch streamer Forsen manages to break every game he yet again discovered a bug that has not been discovered once during the creation of the game. An excellent feat indeed. - Made it so if you are stuck you get unstuck after about 10 seconds or something like that, you should not get stuck in the 1st place but now if you just wait while being stuck you should get free after a while.

-Saves load more consistent now -Fixed some text parsing

-Added Ingame timer ----Time from last play session will be saved and displayed on the Main menu. Timer stops when exiting ----or when entering the trigger for GOD. (Alt+F4 to skip god cutscene won't make time shorter) -Mr. Bog now talks whenever you land on the floor -General bugfixes Future plans. Adding a switch to show current session time on UI Saving settings so they don't reset on every launch

Patch 1 - Added voice to BOG npc - "Inverted" cam - Tried to fix GOD achievement Patch 2 - General bugfixes Patch 3 - Added Voice to Bordie - Added Bordie and MEGALUL to End Credits - Made one easter egg a bit more TOS friendly

Changed textures in put to better comply with bitrate settings on twitch
