Hey everyone, Carnage here, and I just wanted to give you guys some huge news on V2!

First of all, here is an updated changelog of V2:

• New coloured names! (for admins etc)

• Full GJ trophy integration

• New stat-randomizing system

• New characters (Endo-01, Endo-02, Endoplush, W. Freddy and W. Bonnie!)

• Shops/Merchants

• Bosses

• 4th wall attack

• Tooltips

• Brand new currency system (now renamed to Bits) (can only get from chests)

• Chests (get bits from them, higher rarity = more bits!) (they are also client-side)

• Red chests are now rarer

• NPCs! (they talk to you via the normal chat with conversations, also added in preparation for merchants aka shops!)

• Freddles are now significantly stronger

• “Players Online” text now indicate how many players are on a server

• More tooltips to inform people on how to use the map and whatnot

• Minor changes to character select

• HP numbers shifted in Battles w/ new font

• Fixed bug where players would move even in a battle

• Nerfed AI

• Redid level and speed system

• No more level caps

• DMG and SPD now has a limit of 35

• Fixed sound/music bug which caused it to constantly repeat

• Ranking system based on overall levels of ALL characters (This took ages!)

• Slightly smaller world size (from 5,000x5,000 px to 4,000x4,000 px)

• A brand new viewable map!

• More loading screen puns!

• Performance and stability fixes

• More stuff I probably forgot (?)

Possible upcoming features in V3: (higher means more priority)

• Matchmaking by region

• More NPC dialogue

• Quests

• Allies

• More attacks

• More characters

• More GJ trophies

• More Sounds

And there is MORE big news! V2 will be coming out today and on Windows 32-bit and 64-bit AND Mac OSX 64-bit AND Linux 32-bit and 64-bit.

I actually took the time to compile Battlegrounds for Mac OSX and Linux which isn’t easy, trust me, as I noticed that some (although a minority) of the playerbase were using those platforms. So yes, Battlegrounds is now multi-platform!

And if those 3 huge announcements weren’t big enough, the next build, V3, of the pre-release, will be the last build before the final release.

Hope you guys are having a great day as always! :)
