1.16 and Me

[Martoph]

Hi

Firstly, wanted to give a massive thanks to anyone who has donated in the first 2 weeks, it definitely exceeded my expectations and I can assure you will see it reinvested!

I plan to upgrade Athios to 1.16, which also means dropping 1.15 support.

Upgrading can sometimes be grueling, or sometimes can be easy. It looks like 1.16 won't have many issues or any at all. How long will it take? All depends. I expect to start testing within a week of its release.

As far as new features goes, I was focused on fixing bugs that didn't come up in the testing stage Due to the nature of a small amount of people to help with that, it was fairly reasonable to expect some bugs that just couldn't make it through. Thanks for everyone who reported bugs, that is greatly appreciated.

Now, you may've noticed I've also been balancing the game a bit. I apologize for the lack of an official changelog and sporadic updates and constantly changing things, it was mainly to get SnD to a place where I felt it was fun to play for new and veteran players. I think I've achieved that goal for the most part.

You can expect more features, kits, cosmetics after the 1.16 upgrade. I have a lot of ideas about how to utilize new features and other things I want to implement, stay tuned!

This is just a thought, but perhaps Athios should only be updated to 1.16 once the Badlion client does so. This is because quite a lot of PvP fanatics play on the Badlion client instead of the regular client. As an example, JustDash also uses a PvP client.

As badlion client already has beta versions for 1.16 I wouldn't worry about it taking too long.

I pray to the gods that the hits are good.

I've been enjoying the balance updates, so far I think every change up to this point in time has been for the better. Thank you for your hard work and the balance testing team's work.
