Rampage Knights are available on Nintendo eShop right now with a discount. Go grab it, if you want to experience some serious hack 'n' slashing on this awesome platform!

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32938877/83cb40dd4c4ed29a8d0533de6b10d6caf7942348.png The previously announced update 1.9 is out for everyone! Because the update resets saved campaigns in progress (most importantly the Endless mode), players who want to continue with their campaigns and Endless runs should switch to "version_1_8" branch on Steam. This way they can continue their runs until they are ready to update to the latest version of the game. To switch to "version_1_8" branch (if you want to keep your Endless campaign) on Steam do as follows:

• Right click on Rampage Knights in the Steam Client and click Properties.
• Select the BETAS tab.
• Select "version_1_8" from the combo box.
• The Steam Client will automatically update the game to the selected branch.

Changes:

• Mighty Foot is removed from a room when the last hero leaves, to prevent heroes being stomped immediately after reentry.
• At the beginning of each Shadow World level all buffs and debuffs are properly removed from the hero, including Transmutator potion effect.
• Shadow World is unlocked by Knight achievement instead of Man of War to make it more accessible, so more people can play it.
• New Giant Terrorskull hat reward for Man of War achievement.
• Added inventory limit so you can't have more that 99 stackable items in inventory at once.
• Added second gamepad control scheme for movement using D-pad buttons.
• Updated to newest SDL library and newest gamepad database for better compatibility with various controllers.
• Various performance improvements (rendering, particles, gameplay, startup) in preparation for upcoming Nintendo Switch release
• Fixed an issue with some sounds, which did not play properly while the vsync was disabled.
• A new warning at startup, if the game detects OpenGL version that is below required minimum.

We expect the game to be released at the beginning of 2019. We made many performance improvements and fixes under the hood. They will be included in the upcoming PC patch as well. The update is already available in the "beta" branch on Steam for people who want to test it. Note that switching to "beta" branch will reset your saved campaigns in progress, including Endless mode. The beta is for Windows only at the moment. Mac version will be available with the full release. We plan to test the beta branch for week or two. If no fatal bugs are found, we will release the update to the public. Because the release to the public resets saved campaigns in progress (most importantly the Endless mode), players who want to continue with their campaigns and Endless runs should switch to "version_1_8" branch on Steam. In this branch the current 1.8 version of the game will be kept even after we release the 1.9 patch. To switch to "beta" (if you want to try the new update) or "version_1_8" (if you want to keep your Endless campaign) on Steam do as follows:

• Right click on Rampage Knights in the Steam Client and click Properties.
• Select the BETAS tab.
• Select either "beta" or "version_1_8" from the combo box.
• The Steam Client will automatically update the game to the selected branch.

• Mighty Foot is removed from a room when the last hero leaves, to prevent heroes being stomped immediately after reentry.

Hey everyone! I'm here with a little bit off-topic news that might be still interesting to our fans. It's about the future of Rake in Grass. We spent a lot of time this year updating Rampage Knights, but we also started to work on our next project. I can proudly announce now that the new game we are working on is Jets'n'Guns 2! Here's the first footage of the new project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugcz6vxEjpI The game is still in the beginning phase of the development and we have a long walk ahead of us. But we got a lot of groundwork done already - level objects and decorations, basic framework for enemies and weapons, physics, etc. If you are interested in the news about Jets'n'Guns 2 and want to be in touch with the development more closely you can follow our blog, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube channel. I also tested some alternative media and set up a new account at Minds.com.

New update is here! http://www.rakeingrass.com/promo/rampage_knights/rk_portal.jpg Endless Dungeon

• We added an Endless Dungeon game mode where you keep descending deeper and deeper into a neverending dungeon with challenges along the way.
• The Endless Dungeon starts on a hard difficulty and increases difficulty after each boss battle a bit.
• There is now a portal in the camp which you can use to enter a Shadow World or the Endless Dungeon. The Shadow World is not entered by talking to Tim anymore.
• The Endless Dungeon is unlocked once you complete the campaign at least once.
• In the Endless Dungeon passive items cannot stack (you can have only one instance of each passive item).
• In the Endless Dungeon you can have only three familiars at once. You can have only one familiar of the same type.
• Sword of the Underworld, Paladin's Belt, Amulet of Light and Magic Elven Leaf don't spawn in the Endless Dungeon.
• Game tracks the maximum level reached in the Endless Dungeon which can be viewed in the statistics menu in the camp.
• To make the endless mode more balanced, vitality is now capped at 200 and spell damage is capped at 50.
• New achievement Rolf's Demise.

Gameplay changes and other new content

• The game tracks how many times you have completed the Shadow World. Because the game didn't track this statistic before, it starts from 0 (sorry).
• Added a new short level to the campaign following the dungeon level.
• Dragon boss now has three variants - fire, poison and ice.
• Demonic armor now regains 1 durability after each battle (not after each kill).
• Player takes double damage from melee attacks of demons when having immunity to curses.
• Projectiles (bees) spawned by Queen Bee item don't hit other player in co-op anymore.
• Disabled snowing theme from holidays and reverted back to normal weather in the forest and the courtyard levels.
• Locked faces in appearance menu in the camp show which challenges unlock them.
• A chance for rooms with pits on insane difficulty is the same as for other difficulties, so there are less rooms with pits in a campaign in general.
• Shadow World randomization does not save the players' look and class in their profile. When the Shadow World play is finished, the players are reset back to their original appearances.
• Increased delay between consecutive attacks of Demonic Eye familiar.
• Familiars don't shoot if there are no enemies in room.
• Shuffle from the Wheel of Misfortune does not shuffle spellbooks, so spell damage is not lost.
• Scroll of Black Magic gives spell damage +30 instead of +10.
• Bean of Unnatural Growth gives +1 vitality in the endless mode (it still gives +2 in the normal campaign).
• Freezing waves spawned by ice wizards (and thorn wave of the Slimehead boss) are stopped by pits and walls.
• A new female hero: Fish Lady Warrior
• New hats: Black Sombrero, Bowler, Toadstool Hat, Fez.
• A New "Stay away!" emote.
• Devil's Pact item graphics was changed so it cannot be mistaken for a scroll.
• A new and stronger version of Ghoul for the second half of the campaign.
• A new enemy Slasher with low health but massive damage.
• Many pit rooms and spike rooms have been revised to make them less frustrating.
• New types of explosive barrels: poison a ice barrels. This also affects the pyromancer curse.
• Spitter totem can be jumped over but you get hit if you try to land on it.

Bug fixes and technical improvements

• Freedom Giver should give patriotic clothing to all classes now.
• Fixed a bug where waves spawned by ice wizards didn't spawn on ground tiles created by Scroll of Builder.
• Fixed a bug where dying with appearance menu opened in the camp could make the player invulnerable.
• Fixed pumpkin mob's chance to throw pumpkins being too high in situations when there are more than four pumpkins in a room.
• Fixed bug where rolling spikeballs could fall into pits sometimes. That also caused strange sound behavior of the rolling sound.
• Fixed a bug where upgrade from the Wheel of Misfortune was giving spell damage +10 instead of +5.
• Fixed a bug where Medal of Light and Magic Elven Leaf didn't remove curses/diseases when picked up.
• Fixed a bug where giants who slipped on banana peel could not be hit while wobbling.
• Fixed a bug where frozen beholder disappears for a while when hit from uppercut attack.
• When you connect to an online game where someone else has played before, you won't get the class of the previous player anymore. You get weapon, items and status effects from the character of the previous player, but your appearance and class will use your preferred setting from your profile. Note that this may result in some items being dropped. For example if you connect as a warlock to a character who had familiars, the familiars will be dropped since warlock cannot have familiars. The same can happen for armor with barbarian class and boots with pirate class.
• Windows: The game is now high DPI aware so it can run natively in 4k resolutions. This fixes fullscreen not working properly on 4k monitors with custom scaling level other than 100%.

We have just released a patch which fixes crashes in some of the new rooms with spitting objects in online co-op. Also we have decided to disable the food poisoning and fat disease for now. The food poisoning is bugged on hard and insane difficulties and we also want to balance the diseases a bit in the next update.

Halloween update is here! It’s not as big as we hoped, because we spent much more time solving networking problems than we expected. But it still brings a lot of new items and some of them are really crazy! Check out new Infinijump of brutal Mechanical Arm to see, what I’m talking about. Good news is that we still have many ideas that didn’t make it here due to time constraints and we intent to improve the game even more. http://www.rakeingrass.com/promo/rampage_knights/rk_murica_pumpkin.gif New items

• Fixed bug where hero could receive poison status and Elven Armor together in Shadow World.
• Objects like barrels, explosive barrels, pumpkings and other like that can no longer spawn directly in front of the doors.

Halloween update is here! It’s not as big as we hoped, because we spent much more time solving networking problems than we expected. But it still brings a lot of new items and some of them are really crazy! Check out new Infinijump of brutal Mechanical Arm to see, what I’m talking about. Good news is that we still have many ideas that didn’t make it here due to time constraints and we intent to improve the game even more. http://www.rakeingrass.com/promo/rampage_knights/rk_murica_pumpkin.gif New items

This update makes the changes from the "Beta" version public along with other small fixes. We have been working on improvements and fixes of the networking implementation to address lags some people are experiencing in online co-op. We have completly rewritten big chunk of the multiplayer implementation and the code that synchronizes inputs between the host and the client. We have implemented several new optimizations that should help the game run better in online mode and also on slower computers and notebooks. These are major changes with possible unforseen consequences, so if you experience any issues or crashes please report them in the Community Hub's Discussions. There is a new "Network rate" option available in the game. The option specifies how frequently the game sends packets between the host and the client. We recommend keeping the network rate at "fast" unless you experience some networking issues. (For example, if you are on wi-fi network and you see freezes or lags, you can try to set the network rate to medium.) Slower network rates are less demanding on your connection but the movement of enemies and other player may seem more jerky. Gameplay changes and fixes:

• Assassin always uses stomp on ghoul heads instead of assassination skill.
• Ghoul heads cannot be hit by melee attacks. You can kill them by stomping or dashing.
• Pirate's parrot cannot hit ghoul heads lying on the ground.
• Damage taken after drinking Mountainer's Schnaps potion does not hit hero's armor or divine shield.
• Effects from Mountainer's Schnaps and Buff from the Pit are stackable.
• When pirate gets drunk by drinking from keg, the regeneration is triggered immediately.
• Achievement Friendship is Magic is now properly rewarded in local co-op game.
• Mod items are showing proper (big) icon in the "last acquired" panel.
• Victory screen scroll is no longer cut off in 4:3 resolution.
• Fixed bug where skins from items and status effects were not applied properly during ressurect animation in online co-op.
• Sometimes in online co-op with high pings the "death fanfare" was played twice or it was played even if no hero really died. This could also happen for sound played when a golden chest was opened. This bug is now fixed.

Network fixes:

• Complete rewrite of multiplayer implementation and input synchronization between the host and the client to address lags some people are experiencing.
• Added "Network rate" option to control frequency of network updates between the host and the client.
• Fixed "desync" and "input frame mismatch" errors.
• Fixed crash when trying to continue saved online game on clients.

If you were participating in the "Beta" build, we recommend you to switch back to public version. We may use the beta branch for testing in future which can make the game more unstable and bugged temporarily. How to switch back to public version:

• In your Steam library, right click on Rampage Knights and click "Properties".
• Select "BETAS" tab. Click the list below and select "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs." item in the list.
• Click close. Steam should automatically switch to non-beta build. You should see "Rampage Knights" instead of "Rampage Knights " in your Steam library.

We have been working on improvements and fixes of the networking implementation to address lags some people are experiencing during online co-op. Networking problems are really hard to debug but we think the changes are ready for testing. Because the changes are substantial and there might be bugs we didn't catch, we are releasing this update as "beta" build. This means the update won't be downloaded automatically unless you choose to participate in the test (see below how). We would appreciate your help with the test, especially if you are experiencing multi-player lags. Besides the lags this update should also fix "input frame mismatch" crash, "desync" errors and some other online bugs. In the options menu there is a new option "Network rate". We recommend to keep this set at "Fast" but if you are experiencing networking issues you can try different settings. The slower network rates make the game "stutter" more but they also use less network bandwith. However, any moderate internet connection should be able to handle the "Fast" just fine.

How to test the "beta" build:

• In your Steam library, right click on Rampage Knights and click "Properties".
• Select "BETAS" tab. Click the list below and select "beta - " item in the list. Leave beta access code empty.
• Click close. Steam should automatically download the beta build. You should see "Rampage Knights " in your Steam library.

To switch back to default version of Rampage Knights, use the same method but select "NONE - opt out of all beta programs" from the list. We recommend you to switch back from the beta build once we release the final 1.3 version to public. Note that this beta version is available for Windows only.

• Fixed some networking bugs/crashes when the client reconnects quickly to the host or when synchronization of the client with the host failed.
• Fixed networking bug where the host could get frozen when the client was not disconnected properly.

The release date is quickly approaching. We keep polishing and fixing many aspects of the game. This update focuses mostly on adding more variability to the first forest level. There's also a ton of little adjustments and fixes. http://www.rakeingrass.com/promo/rampage_knights/rk_forest_bridge.jpg List of the changes:

As you know, the release is just behind the doors. We are pretty busy preparing all the stuff that is needed for the release: trailer, materials for press etc. We are in the middle of replacing some temporary stuff in the game intro and outro, fixing last fatal bugs and improving the expecience for new players. This update brings improved ending cinematic, improved "training graveyard" in camp for new players to learn basic attacks, new fullscreen mode and option to select custom resolutions, and some improvements in the networking code to reduce lags caused by client/server synchronization on connect. http://www.rakeingrass.com/promo/rampage_knights/rk_theatre.jpg List of the changes:

• Temporary ending cinematic replaced with a new one, followed by parade of enemies.
• Improved training area in the left part of the camp, with tips on how to perform various attacks. Added training skeleton with shield to let new players learn how to break shields.
• The stats screen on TAB now shows description of the last acquired item. This includes descriptions of curses, diseases and other effects (divine intervention, buff from the pit etc). Increased sizes of various texts.
• Divine intervention effect removes all curses from the hero who used the altar.
• Constructs spawned by the Dwarven Contraption item are not destroyed automatically after a timeout. You don't have to fear falling intro a pit anymore when stading on the bridge created by the Dwarven Contraption.
• Pirate's Rum received at the start doesn't count towards the Tasty Bewerage achivevement to prevent cheating.
• Icicle sword freezes only some enemies on kill (randomly selected) instead of freezing all enemies in the room (still OP :) ).
• Final boss: Reduced the duration of the phase of the battle where the boss leaves the screen for some time after his HP is halved.
• Minor fixes: weapon prices, animation glitch of knights, removed pivot point markers from various sprites.
• Networking: A system has been implemented which prevents lagging when players are moving from one level to another. The host now waits until the client is fully connected and synchronized. This also prevents lags when the client connects to the host for the first time.
• Networking: Improved algorithm which handles situations when no networking packets are received for some time. The game should now recoved faster which should help reduce duration of lags when there are some problems with connection.
• New resolution and display mode settings. There are now three video modes - windowed, fullscreen and "windowed (fullscreen)". Custom resolution can be selected for the windowed and fullscreen modes.
• The newly addded fullscreen mode is the "true" fullscreen mode usually used by games where the game gets exclusive access to the display. On some systems switching between applications may not be allowed in this mode but you can get better performance. We also hope that this mode can solve the issues with FPS some people are having on Windows 10.
• The game previously used "windowed (fullscreen)" mode. This mode doens't block other applications and message box, but also doesn't allow custom resolution and may cause performance issues on some systems.
• By default the game now uses the fullscreen mode. ALT+Enter switches between windowed and fullscreen modes.
