- Devlog #9 - Player Hosted Sessions are here! - 26 November 2023
Over the last month I’ve been listening to the players and one thing that was brought up was if they can host their own servers. I originally wanted to just have dedicated servers run by me, but the reality is that I can’t host servers all over the world. Well, I can. But it would break my bank account. So, with that I decided to go ahead and add the functionality for players host their own sessions. This means you can make a game and you`ll be the host, and your friends can connect directly to your game. This is great for regions where I don’t have dedicated servers active. The servers you can host aren’t dedicated servers, though. So, if the host closes the game or leaves, the session is destroyed, and all players are sent back to the main menu. Maybe in the future I’ll release the dedicated server tools as well. This took me a long time to get working. Testing locally for me is very…

- Leaderboards are here! - 5 October 2023
Hello and welcome to devlog 8. This time i`m going to talk about the new leaderboards and what`s coming next. Leaderboards are here! This was something I always wanted to add to the game. I never included it into the roadmap though because I wasn’t sure of its priority compared to the other features in the pipeline. Over the last month, I realised that its important to have some form of social leaderboards. This`ll get players online a bit more, and hopefully competing against each other for the top spots! Right now, there are 2 leaderboards. Total kills, and weekly top kills. Total kills will be a persistent statistic, showing the top 10 players ranked by multiplayer kills. Weekly kills is more like a tournament, that shows the current weeks top 10 players by kills. This will reset every 7 days, and the winner will be announced over on discord and twitter! Eventually, I want to add rea…

- 70% Sale! Celebrating 1 month since launch - 18 September 2023
Bot Battle Mode is here! Thank you to everyone who has played the game so far. The feedback I`ve received is great and people seem to enjoy the game, and that`s the most important thing for me. Combat Beans has been live for a month now, and since release I`ve been working through the roadmap as well as taking on board feedback from the community. So to celebrate here`s a 70% sale until Sep 26th. One of the most common requests was to include a game mode against bots, so that people can jump on and play properly even when nobody is online. Originally, I never planned to add bots (or any major single player mode) to the game, but soon after launch I realised that there are a few hours each day where nobody is online. In those cases, it`s unfair for people who bought the game being unable to experience the game properly. So, I decided to add bots to the game, as well as a new game mode. Y…
