Patreon Plan - August

Added 2024-08-01 22:41:42 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone! It's time for the August patreon plan!

This month we're looking at two different updates to Together in Spire!

It might look simple, but these two updates in Together in Spire will change a lot of the mod internally. I'm preparing v7 to be the biggest and the last Together in Spire major update, which will be developed over the next few months, and it all starts with these updates.

What will be in this month's updates?

On the 12th of August there will be an update that will introduce a completely new combat sync system. I'll go more in-depth on the day of the release, but in short, the current TiS system has been rewritten to be ordered, meaning all combat events (damage, block, powers) will now sync in the same order for all clients. This will lead to significant improvements in data syncing, mainly for modded enemies. Furthermore, this will lead to bugfixes, for example not seeing all enemy powers when joining the room late.

However, that's not all. With this update, I'll be experimenting with changes to monster powers. Mainly, powers like Invincible, Flight, etc. will stack and share instead of being separate. The goal of this change is to increase versatility in the play groups - allowing players to focus on roles (damage, support) etc. without being penalized for it.

The changes above will be quite big, which is why from the Friday 16th to Monday 19th, there will be a semi-public beta test period, in which the changes will be available to the wider public. When the test is over, the .jar will be unplayable, so make sure to sync back to the Patreon Steam branch after if you participate.

On the 26th of August I'll be fixing all bugs encountered in the update earlier on, and incorporating all feedback provided.

I'm super excited to go full steam ahead with v7 and bring you more and more crazy updates!

Thank you all for your support <3
