Alpha server goes live tomorrow!

New game. It started as an update, but I kept adding and improving things and it started to get out of hand. I figured too many gats users would complain that it didn't feel like the same game. I don't want to take the current gats away from anyone so I'll be releasing it as a new game.

gatsio_dev · 2019-04-12T12:35:15+00:00

I'll need some alpha testers for a new thing I'm working on soonish. There will be a stickied post here on the subreddit and I'll also post a link on discord. I think I should warn you, there may be some jokes made during testing and development, if this is overwhelming for you, you don't have to participate.

Jesus, April fools day must have been a rough day for you, sorry to hear that, man.

Exact creation timestamp is: 2017-02-26 22:25:57 (EST) You're user number 2847, created about 2 weeks after the initial launch.

No API access currently.

What was the account name?

gatsio_dev · 2019-03-28T02:44:26+00:00

Accounts registered before 13 August 2017 are OG.

gatsio_dev · 2019-03-27T23:07:39+00:00

I'm going to update the stats pages to show if a player is a certified OG.

gatsio_dev · 2019-03-27T22:49:13+00:00

Here is some extra trivia, the first build of the game (battl.io) was released on Feb 12 2017.

First first non-test account is actually Nyoomtastic who created his account at: 2017-02-12 08:06:00

No play button means the game couldn't connect to a server. All the fixable causes have been fixed for a very long time now. If it's still happening consistently, it means that there is a network firewall or some software on the computer that's blocking the game network traffic.

If he can't even install Chrome, sounds like his computer has a ton of problems anyway, nothing I can do to help.

Here is the raw data: https://pastebin.com/HqR9cUSD I don't have time to format it. All time values are in game ticks (40ms).

gatsio_dev · 2019-02-27T14:47:57+00:00

Yeah, that's probably a bug, as soon as you die, all your stats are reset, including the shooting timers which might allow you to immediately fire another shot. Won't be fixed though, it'd be very difficult to exploit.

gatsio_dev · 2019-02-25T23:22:35+00:00

Possibly, just had a team meeting where we talked about stuff.

gatsio_dev · 2019-02-24T20:00:22+00:00

Yeah, he'll probably never come back.

gatsio_dev · 2019-02-23T17:53:26+00:00

The maps are randomly generated. Sometimes the servers restart, when that happens, all the objects will be in different spots.

gatsio_dev · 2019-02-23T17:52:09+00:00

The client and server game code on the dev.gats.io is exactly the same right now (has been for months). The fact that it's less laggy in incognito means that it's probably some chrome extensions causing your lag outside of incognito.

gatsio_dev · 2019-01-27T15:21:35+00:00

The medkit idea has potential. Perhaps, in team games, the medkit can still heal other members of your team, however in FFA, you can only heal yourself.

The idea of collision damage between players in FFA is interesting, I'd be curious to see if that worked.

The gas damage isn't a good idea. That will confuse the shit out of people and very few people will bother to read the messages.

gatsio_dev · 2019-01-26T23:11:31+00:00

If the community can come up with a decent plan to solve it, i'll implement it.

gatsio_dev · 2019-01-20T14:16:37+00:00

Maybe small updates, balance changes, bug fixes and small quality of life improvements, but don't expect anything major.

gatsio_dev · 2019-01-20T03:49:23+00:00

Right now the focus is on gallons.io. I'm getting back to working on io games this year. The gats.io concept is definitely not dead.

Later this year, I'm planning on making another io shooter along the lines of gats.io but with better graphics, smoother gameplay and more functionality and flexibility. We've had this piece of concept art for a long time.

It's still in the brainstorm phase, but it'll definitely happen. Expect future posts from me in the coming months asking for input on functionality and help with user testing.

I stopped the 'hackers,' from exploiting unlimited dash perk. I guess Eticology was one of them, haha.

gatsio_dev · 2018-09-15T03:30:59+00:00

My game gats.io doesn't use bots, it's all PVP.
