| Rogue Party 2 | 2020-06-06 | Many of you know this already, but I lost the code for the original Rogue Party and many of my other games (including Blocked and Loaded). I was devastated and took a break from making games. But that didn't last long, and I ended up using Unity this time around to make a much better sequel, Rogue Party 2, coming out on June 15th. Thank you for buying my games and supporting an independent developer! I am trying to get more involved in the community and have streamed the creation of Rogue Party 2, from line 1 to line 25,000 all live on twitch. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1274980/Rogue_Party_2/ |
| Shadow Patch is Live | 2019-03-24 | Amazing Blocked and Loaded supporters, While working on Blocked and Loaded 2, I created a far better way to calculate shadows that is faster and more subtle than the previous rendering method. Let me know what you think of the new shadow system and whether your game's performance improves. Thank you to everyone, Chris |
| Fixed Lag in Forest Path | 2018-03-14 | The soccer area should no longer lag. After applying the shadow patch I neglected to limit shadowing to only the models visible on the screen which resulted in the now resolved lag. Working on the Colony Expansion next. |

| LET THERE BE LIGHT! | 2018-03-12 | Blocked and Loaded now features a day/night light cycle as well as shadowing while underneath walls. Let me know what you think! |

| Work Has Begun on Blocked and Loaded Expansion | 2018-03-04 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I495dYw0tms&feature=youtu.be This expansion will be free for current players but once it has launched the price of the overall game will increase to $1.99 Keep the ideas coming! |

| Player Requested Updates | 2018-03-03 | I've added mouse over information when you hover over the blue/green buttons on the stats screen (X to access). These will appear when you level up to clarify what each stat does. Corn was getting a little crazy so I've reduced the output per harvest to: 4-8 Corn 1-2 Seeds Working on the post-Soros game play which I hope to make interesting, group oriented and allow you to perfect the same gear over time (no more huge jumps in damage/armor). Run him as much as you can and max out your gold! You're going to need it... |

| Epic Boss Battle Now Available in Secret Passage | 2018-02-25 | Can you take on all the bosses? Not one at a time but ALL of them at ONCE! In order to challenge Soros you must first defeat his champions... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dg9FT3293s&t=2s ====Tweaks==== New XP Potions sold in Hope City. Bat boss should no longer glitch and show up as a small bat. Leaving a boss as the host will no longer result in bosses walking around aimlessly. Anvil text will no longer overlap when hovering on an item. Players will no longer show up at home by mistake. Soccer ball will no longer appear in the City by mistake. Dying from laggy packets between levels will no longer kill you randomly in town. |

| Hard Mode Daily Quests Added | 2018-02-24 | Gold becomes harder to come by once you finish leveling, so I've added Hard Mode only dailies to rectify this. Hard Mode is back down to 500 gold. Hard Mode dailes will become available again at the start of each day (same as PvP Daily). Day cycle reduced to approximately 30 minutes. |

| New Leveling System | 2018-02-23 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSOXWt8usA0 Level up to 99 times in Blocked and Loaded, then distribute your points among the game's 24 stat options however you see fit! If you feel you need to start over and try a new stat configuration, you can always purchase the new "Bitter Potion" in Hope City to reset your XP and stat distribution. These stats are added with your gear in the stat screen (Press X to access). |

| Hardmode Weapons and Armor Patch Notes | 2018-02-19 | In order to thank members of this community who have helped me test throughout the development process, I've named several of the hardmode weapons after them. The next stage of the game, the boss gauntlet, will include additional people's names in the gun titles. So if you aren't in one yet then just friend me and play Blocked and Loaded! There are 3 new pieces of armor and 5 weapons; all purchaseable from vendors in the Secret Passage. While you wait for the gauntlet to come out, you will want to take the time to run hard mode until you are content with your loadout. Hard Mode runs get expensive if you die playing solo, so be sure to team up |
