- Rumble Runners becomes Free To Play - 14 February 2024
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 neurodivergent children, and during the development of Rumble Runners we were struggling with personal and financial problems that made it hard to commit to developing more content, promoting and maintaining Rumble Runners. Would I call this all a w…

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.

- Update 1.3.3 is now LIVE! - 3 August 2022
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 boost, you are 100% certain to get a speed boost. This should make it a bit easier to catch up to the others.. :) Impossible 50 slightly more possible. The hardest mode in Rumble Runners has been made ever so slightly easier by making small tweaks i…
- Update 1.3.2 is now LIVE! - 30 July 2022
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: pieces with this priority will be spawned first. Priority 2: they will come after all pieces of Priority 1 have been placed. Priority 3: they will come after all pieces of Priority 2 have been placed. Priority 4: they will come after all pieces of…
- Patch Update 1.3.1.1 - 27 July 2022
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! - 25 July 2022
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 also set the movement speed in the Path Creator! You can share your creations on the Rumble Runners community on Reddit, simply go to https://www.reddit.com/r/Rumble_Runners/ and share your screenshots! We're eager to see what you'll create! To see a d…
- Update 1.3; Enormous Paths, is now Live! - 16 July 2022
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? Well, I'm sorry to say not really to be honest the controls are much different now! Different in a good sense, though! Forward now means forward from the way you're looking and not in one direction only! The gizmos that used to indicate which way you…
- Patch v1.2.2 is now LIVE! - 28 June 2022
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 very strong. Because of that, I've temporarily disabled the Ping display when you look for Parties. This might make players join Parties where they can't get a strong connection with and for that inconvenience I am very sorry. I am keeping my eyes pe…
- Patch v1.2.1 - 22 June 2022
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 shows in the dialogue boxes, instead of Golem Name. - Messages now fit nicer in the dialogue box and are easier to read.

- Update v1.2.0 is now LIVE! - 19 June 2022
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 update! Make sure to follow Lunatinc on their social media so stay updated on what's happening next! Also make sure to join the Rumble Runners community on Reddit, to share your Rumble Running experiences!

- Rumble Runners v1.1 Update - 1 June 2022
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 default value. Press "Apply" to apply the settings. New look for the path pieces.
