| Rumble Runners becomes Free To Play | 2024-02-14 | As you read from the title, I have made the decision to turn my game Rumble Runners into a free to play game. This decision has been made with a heavy heart, since Rumble Runners was my first huge passion project that unfortunately didn't quite get the reach I was hoping for. I am extremely grateful for the players who supported the early stages and the release of Rumble Runners, and for who were even willing to purchase a copy of the game. I really enjoyed developing this game, but in hindsight I do realise I might have bit off more than I could chew with a game of this size. I'm a solo developer, a carer to my partner and a father of three |
| Rumble Runners 1.3.5 | 2022-11-01 | As November rolls in, Halloween is sadly over... Which means the Halloween Event and the discount are also over! But no worries, the Halloween-event Golem parts are part of the game and you can still customise your Golem with these parts! Bugfix - You can no longer climb on other Golems! Hope you had a great Halloween! |
| Halloween Event in Rumble Runners! | 2022-10-24 | The Halloween Event has begun! New golem sets have been added permanently to Rumble Runners; Jacko, Skully, Golemstein, Sally and Spooky!

| Rumble Runners; Halloween Event | 2022-10-18 | Booooo! Did we scare you? Good. We're celebrating Halloween in Rumble Runners and we hope you'll join us too! Scream Fest During Steam Scream Fest, Rumble Runners will be updated with some spooky additions! The planets have been terraformed to Jack-o'-planets to fit the aesthetic of Halloween (don't worry, they haven't been inhabited for a while now!), and the stars and nebulas have been "repainted" as well. But this decor will be up up until the event is over, although there are some permanent additions and changes too! New Golems! You have the change to make your Golems spookier than ever with new Golem Parts! Say Hello to Skully, Jacko, Go |
| Update 1.3.3 is now LIVE! | 2022-08-03 | Hi Y'all! Rumble Runners 1.3.3 brings some balancing tweaks and a better experience during races. Gotta go fast! Have you had runs where you end up being unlucky, just because you're waiting for that pesky speed boost? This update makes it so that you're more likely to get a speed boost power-up the more you don't get it. That might be a confusing sentence, so let me break it down, haha. Rumble Runners now counts how many times you picked up a power-up that was not a speed boost. Using this counter it gives you a higher chance of getting a speed boost power-up. It then resets to zero when you receive one. After 4 times of not getting a speed |
| Update 1.3.2 is now LIVE! | 2022-07-30 | Hi Y'all! Rumble Runners 1.3.2 comes with a couple changes to path generation and the power-ups! Priority Spawning With this new update, you'll have more control with how paths generate with the help of "Priority Spawning". In the Creator, you can set the priority level per piece or in bulk by setting the creator's Spawn Priority. All pieces placed with that priority setting will spawn in a particular order. This new feature gives you the opportunity to make the generation flow better when you've placed lots of pieces that would make other pieces spawn slower when you need them placed quicker. There are 5 different priority levels. Priority 1 |
| Patch Update 1.3.1.1 | 2022-07-27 | Changelog 1.3.1.1: Stardust will now spawn properly on Steep Stairs and Low Stairs More calls are made to load Golem skins in multiplayer Track generation now spawns pieces on a one-by-one basis, instead of row-by-row, to not spawn too many pieces per frame. |
| Update 1.3.1 is LIVE! | 2022-07-25 | More creative freedom! Many shapes have been added to Rumble Runners, which will give you much more creative freedom when building your own paths! All shapes have also undergone a visual overhaul to make them all consistent with one another. Some changes were made in the glowing material and the particle effects. To accommodate for the doubling in amount of shapes, the shape selection menu has been changed to fit all the pieces much better. They're also organised so it's much easier to find the shapes you're looking for. For quality of life purposes, some changes have been made in other parts of the UI to fit the screen nicer, and you can als |
| Update 1.3; Enormous Paths, is now Live! | 2022-07-16 | Hi Y'all! I'm happy to announce the biggest update to Rumble Runners as of yet: Version 1,3; Enormous Paths, is now available for downloading! So, what's new? I'm glad you asked! Creator Tags From now on, any path you make will be linked to your Steam Account! All your paths will show under "My Paths" in the Path Creator and when setting up Paths for races. Now it's easier to show off which paths are created by you, It would be even greater if path sharing was a thing already.. Please make sure you're logged into Steam before making paths. Easier Controls in the Path Creator Have you gotten used to the clunky controls from the Path Creator? W |
| Patch v1.2.2 is now LIVE! | 2022-06-28 | Hi y'all! What's changed with this Patch? You will no longer randomly crash out of Multiplayer games! This patch was very difficult to get right, as the bug this patch fixes was not consistent. The issue lies with the network latency, or "Ping", where a high Ping would cause problems with loading things. Sometimes you might experience your Golem's skin not loading in properly. This is due to a high ping and you might then find that some game events don't get triggered right. Due to a bug within a plugin that Rumble Runners uses; Advanced Steam Sessions, you might've noticed that the Ping is always stuck at 9,999, even when the connection is v |
| Patch v1.2.1 | 2022-06-22 | Hi y'all, I've just set a new patch live to Update v1.2, that solves some of the bugs and issues that were found. This patch also includes a change in online multiplayer, where you will now see someone's Steam Username on top of their golem and in the chat! Here's an overview of what's changed. Changelog v1.2.1: - Golem Customiser starts with right button hovered. - Launchpads display particles again for clients. - Stardust don't linger for a bit after picked up. - Stardust pick-ups show their particles again. - Powerup pick-ups show their particles again. - Steam Name now shows up above your golem, instead of Golem Name. - Steam Name now sho |
| Update v1.2.0 is now LIVE! | 2022-06-19 | Update v1.2.0 is now ready to be downloaded! This update adds a new big feature to the Golem Customiser: Save Slots! You can save your favourite customisations in the Save Slots, so that you can change back to your favourite Golems with one simple button. If you feel like you need more slots to save more Golems to, you can use Stardust to buy an extra Save Slot! There are a maximum of 10 Save Slots available. You will be prompted before buying, so you won't accidentally purchase a Save Slot when you didn't want to. The Price of the Save Slots will go up, so you'll have to gather up enough Stardust to open them all up! And that's it for this u |
| Changelog v1.1.3 | 2022-06-08 | Changelog v1.1.3 - Credits menu page renamed to "Socials & Credits" - The Rumble Runners subreddit, TikTok, Discord, Youtube and Twitter links have been added to "Socials & Credits" as seperate links. - Path Creator colours updated to correctly show if pieces can be placed or not. - General Optimisations. This is the last patch update for version 1,1. The next big update will be 1.2, which is going to focus on the Path Creator, Golem Customiser and the Shop. I'm aiming to have that finished by the Steam Summer Sale later this month. Let's get ready to Rumble Run! :) |
| Update v1.1.2 is now Live! | 2022-06-06 | This update came a bit later than planned since reported bugs were hard to replicate since they were very particular, but alas, they have been fixed. Multiplayer should be even more playable now. :) Changelog v1.1.2 - Stardust Travels no longer trigger generating new paths when flying through Path End Pieces. - Paths passed now displays correctly on next rounds. - Improved Stardust Travels return to path after falling off the track. - Path generation triggered when last generated path begins Rumbling. - Impossible Difficulty settings altered to new generation code. BugFix: - Crashes after Multiplayer OOB's have been fixed. - Game Ends not bei |

Bugfix: - Host Game Music no longer stuck looping when changing music in multiplayer games. - Path Creator no longer with wrong textures. |
| Rumble Runners v1.1 Update | 2022-06-01 | What's new in Rumble Runners v1.1 Graphics Settings In this update there's now an option to set Graphics Settings within the game. This feature allows players with lower-end specs on their PC to play Rumble Runners with much more ease. "Lowest" is the least costly setting for each type of setting. "Best" is the most costly setting for each type of setting. The settings range from Lowest > Low > Normal > High > Best. When you press "Recommended", Rumble Runners will pick settings that it recommends for your PC by benchmarking. This will normally only take a couple seconds. There's also a "Default" button that lets you set the settings to their |

| Multiplayer issue | 2022-05-24 | Hi everyone, I unfortunately have to announce there's an issue where Multiplayer crashes the game. I'm working on it already and I might come up with a solution soon enough. As soon as it's fixed I'll announce it! I've wanted to celebrate the release yesterday with my partner when we came across said issue. I would like to apologize to the players who've got themselves a copy of Rumble Runners and I hope this does not prevent you from having fun with what Rumble Runners has to offer. Thank you for your patience. Joris van den Broek |
| New Paths and New Golems | 2022-05-15 | New Golems Nebula and Astronaut are the latest additions to Rumble Runners, raising the total different golem sets you can pick from to 12! New Paths The final designs of all the standard paths that come with the game have also been added to the list of paths. You might want to reset the default paths in the Section Creator to activate them if you've played a previous version of Rumble Runners! There are 20 paths in total! Preparations for Release next week Before Rumble Runners is released next week, Rumble Runners is getting achievements and a leaderboard!

| Improved Path Creator | 2022-05-09 | What has changed? So for the full release planned later this month, The Section Creator has been changed in some ways, making it much easier to create paths. The UI has been tidied up by a lot! There is no longer a "Creator Mode" you have to toggle through, since everything is now compact and easy to access! On the left you can see all the stuff you can do, and on the right is some info on your path. Instead of having to toggle between path shapes, you can now open a menu which displays all the pieces you can place. End Pieces and Powerup Crystals are also in this list, and you can select them simply by pressing them. Rotating a piece is very |
| Major Update 4 patch | 2022-04-25 | A small bug has been fixed and a new Golem Set has arrived! Say hi to Lots Of Love! |
| Major Update 4 just released! | 2022-04-18 | Major Update 4 is out! Rumble Runners has undergone some massive overhauls in visuals and audio! With this latest update, Rumble Runners has reached a point where a full release is imminent! So what's new? I'm glad you asked! New Main Hub The Main Hub has been remade to fit all the menu platforms properly. It's now a 5-point-star shape and each platform has its own point. Furthermore, it will be a lot easier to tell which platform is which with the new holograms spelling out the platform's menu type! There's also a 3D-hologram icon for each menu to show their purpose if you can't wait for the letters to come 'round :p More Animations! Your Go |
| Major Update 3: Infinity Run, is finally here! | 2022-03-25 | Infinite Mode is here! A new mode has come to Rumble Runners, called "Infinite Mode"! Other than your skill, there is virtually no end to each round in this endless game mode. It's also available online, where you race to be the last Golem standing! You can set the Game Mode before you start the race in the menus where you start a game. Only the Host can do this in the Lobby! Get more chances on finishing a game! In all previous versions of Rumble Runners, it was a one-strike-you're-out mentality. However, in this update you can set a limit of retries. When you fall off, it will cost you one retry! The Game Master can't rematerialize you fore |
| "Under the Hood" changes | 2022-02-03 | A quick patch to fix and optimise some underlying code. Also fixed the bug where the Music settings don't affect the Section Creator's music. Added "Settings" to Section Creator's menu as well, so you can set the music and controls there too. |
| Major Update 2 | 2022-02-01 | Major Update 2 The next big update has come to Rumble Runners! This update brings a flashy new UI for all the menus, which are now easier to use and also fully compatible with a game controller. But that is just the tip of the iceberg.. New customisation possibilities Every Golem part can now have their own colours, different from the other parts! You used to only be able to set three colours for all the Golem parts, but now your hands, feet, torso and head can have different colours from each other. This is even the case for the hands and feet; they can be different colours from each other too, or even a different part altogether! This will |
| Loading Path Patch | 2022-01-16 | A quick fix for the path loading issue! Players who have updated to the newer version would see no paths generating as the loading code has been altered so that they are no longer compatible. This means that, unfortunately, you will have to reset to the new default paths and lose your previous creations to this point. How do I reset? It's quite simple to reset your paths. Go to the Section Creator. Go to Load Path and confirm to continue. Below, next to the Go Back button is a new button called Reset Paths. Click on Reset Paths and confirm your action. Your paths have been reset! Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused! Many thanks - The |
| New Year; New Updates | 2022-01-15 | Hello Rumblers! For the last couple months I've worked hard to bring many improvements to Rumble Runners and this is the first of the couple major updates coming to Rumble Runners! The return of the Section Creator! As you might have seen since the last update, the Section Creator was unavailable. This was because the previous update brought too many changes to the Section Creator and broke it, but alas, the new and improved Section Creator is now back! This Section Creator is a lot more intuitive with an index on both sides, showing you what you could do. It is now also completely compatible with any of your game controllers, which wasn't th |
| Performance & Bug fixes | 2021-10-29 | This build of Rumble Runners comes with a lot of optimisations and bug fixes that were in the last build version. Fixes: - Launchpads and Powerup platforms now show their particles - Reduced latency issues - End of Game no longer triggered when Host is out of game (and joined players are still in a match) - Powerup durations now show properly in the powerup bars - Countdown not showing for connected players - Powerups not spawning when standing still in recharging powerups These fixes should allow for a much better playing experience =) Thank you for your patience! - Lunatinc |
