- a thank you from my heart to all hustlers - 27 December 2024
i posted this on reddit and discord so im gonna post it here too. thank you to all the new players for buying and playing Your Only Move Is HUSTLE over the winter sale. I never thought this game I made for my friends and I to goof off in would be going so strong this long after release with over 700 freaking modded characters on the steam workshop and tons of people playing it all the time. it's very surreal and I am thankful. for anyone wondering about new content, I don't have any exciting news. YOMIH was never meant to be a long term project, and the more I work on the game, the more haggard and sick it makes me (both mentally and, apparently, physically now too). long term projects like this are just difficult for me. it's also not really in my blood to milk it like a business or to build a brand around it. this is why there is no paid dlc, customization is fully free to everyone, a…
- temporary solution for lobby crashes - 23 October 2024
YES i am aware of the crash! unfortunately, it is not something i caused this time... there is a software unrelated to YOMIH going around that scrambles network packets to avoid ISP blocks/censorship which also happens to have the unintended effect of crashing lobbies. until i figure out how to fix it, i have added a safeguard that is triggered when this software is detected and prevents users of this software to connect to multiplayer lobbies. credit to Leftie, Script, and Adamiya for the find. hopefully this is an easy fix but i will have to do some testing. sorry i'm late! the last patch was over a month ago and seemed to be working fine so i took a couple weeks off not expecting people to nuke lobbies with sketchy scripts. i have also added a safeguard from the current unstable build that might help with crashes.
- hotfix 1.9.20 - 12 September 2024
turns out last patch broke hard knockdowns and a few other moves, as well as some new character select screen bugs. these should be all or mostly fixed. new version number because this is *technically* a gameplay change, but nearly all 1.9.19 replays should work.
- mod mismatch fix - 12 September 2024
no gameplay changes yet. modded players should see a new loading screen when the game starts. i've also made it so the game only needs to load modded characters once, instead of after every match. please let me know if this relieves the "mod mismatch" error. additionally, cloud saving has been enabled.
- small security fix update - 29 July 2024
nothing special. thank you to emi.pet and sodium fluoride for finding and alerting me to a particular vulnerability involving remote code execution - scary! update 2024-08-03, in response to some comments: >nothing special >fixed RCE ...what? why not explain what the vulnerability was? im curious, this is scary. i dont want to play a game without transparency within the code construction and the potential vulnerabilities, especially since im a cybersec freak. would love to hear from you about this maybe i should not have had such a casual tone about this patch, as it fixed a rather severe exploit, but the actual change was something like 10 new lines of code, and yomih has never had issues with hackers or cheaters, so i see this as a preventative measure and peace of mind. i should clarify this exploit had been in the game for a long time, but i've never heard any reports of anyone actu…
- Patch 1.9.19 - 27 June 2024
Click here for patch notes Biggest change is that lobbies no longer default to custom characters being enabled. This is to promote a similar balance of modded to vanilla lobbies to before character loader was merged into base game, as modded lobbies have become a dominant majority and vanilla players are finding it difficult to find games. You can just as easily make a modded lobby, but now it is opt-in instead of opt-out. No big shakeups, just more balancing and tweaks. I was a little late to get it in before the summer sale, sorry!
- Hotfix 1.9.6 - 28 May 2024
Just another aesthetic change: modded characters no longer inherit the extra aesthetic freeze-frames that came with the last patch. I have added a toggle to the base character scene to have the freeze-frames that is disabled by default but hopefully made it stand out enough that new mods dont forget to enable it :P And probably the smallest gameplay-changing update (which requires a new game version) that YOMIH has ever seen: Ninja Super Jump Slightly reduced range of angles (140 degrees -> 138 degrees) (should fix boring optimal combo Ninja players were unhappy about)
- Patch 1.9.5 - 23 May 2024
Click here for patch notes Mostly balance and aesthetic changes, and anti-stall measures for the new character.
- Mod Compatibility/Crash Fix - 29 March 2024
Some of the modders were doing naughty things with my code :( but this should help. Robot should be back in the game for modded character users, and many modded characters who were causing a startup crash should not be doing so any longer.
- Mutant is here! Patch 1.9.0 - 28 March 2024
patch notes here If your game is crashing on startup, unsubscribe from all mods and try again! I'm not sure what this patch may break... Hello gamers. the new character, Mutant is finally out! sorry it took me so long. there was a lot of work to do, not just on the new character, but on every part of the game. The Slop Man Cometh Art by blauxel! Some highlights before i get into how Mutant works: the Character Loader mod has been absorbed into the base game and somewhat optimized to reduce lag when lots of characters are installed. big change to the neutral game: air options have been globally reduced by 1, to prevent passivity and stalling. this means, for example, Ninja only gets one double jump/air dash/etc before touching the ground. but don't worry, when you start a combo, you get your extra air option back. several QOL features to display more relevant information on the screen, s…
- ONE MORE TIME - 20 December 2023
warning steam is being weird and freaky and your vote is probably not getting saved if you cast it before dec 21st 10am pt for legal reasons this is a joke and i respectfully ask you to vote for whomever you think is the most deserving of the award (though it is obviously Your Only Move Is HUSTLE). anyway, look at what you freaks did: the award heist is going smoothly. theyll never know what hit them. but even though everyone banded together to put my crappy scribbles on the lineup, i need you to click on them AGAIN because gaben DOESNT WANT US TO WIN!!! voting starts tomorrow (dec 21st) at 10am PT. if you dont cast your vote for Your Only Move Is HUSTLE i am BANNING you to only be able to play as my new character, STUPID COWBOY. could you IMAGINE if starfield lost to STICK FIGURES LOL who is stronger, todd howard (1 man) or the HUSTLERS (millions) ːorganiccucumberː

- DO IT - 23 November 2023
Listen. You and I both know the deal here. Your Only Move Is HUSTLE is obviously, doubtlessly, the biggest innovation in fighting gameplay the world has seen in years. Slides forth a manila envelope and takes a huge drag off my expensive cigar. What do you say we put all this... dirty business behind us and start again on the right foot, huh? The bemuscled guardian behind me shifts a little and shoots through dark sunglasses a cold look your way. I swivel back around and place both elbows on the table, my chin resting on knuckles between luxurious jewels. Here's the deal. I am going to make you an offer it would be unwise to refuse. Do it NOW art by fleig :)
- Patch 1.8.23 - 6 November 2023
click to view patch notes I didn't want to make any more changes before Olympus, but many of the top players (of all characters, including Wiz) have alerted me of a massively overpowered strategy that allows for Wizard to win while taking no risks. This was demonstrated at today's Protocol tournament where 6 of top 8 were Wizards, some of whom weren't normally even Wizard players. These were their suggested changes that should help alleviate the issue. I have chosen these changes because they are relatively minor adjustments and should not substantially impact typical Wizard strategies that aren't stalling.
- Hotfix 1.8.20 - 3 November 2023
1.8.20 - Robot bomb crash FIXED I THINK!!! - Ninja's stored momentum pips now display the stored speed. - Added option to show extra character information (just speed for now). - Added ghost indicator to show when the player lands from an aerial state.
- Hotfix 1.8.19 - 2 November 2023
1.8.19 - Possibly fixed the prediction-related crash that has been happening for a lot of people on lower-end hardware - Optimizations to prediction. Game should feel substantially smoother now - Fixed bug where clicking actions buttons triggered the prediction again when releasing left click - Burst can no longer go below 0
- Hotfix 1.8.18 - 31 October 2023
Forgot something 1.8.18 - Robot's Drive move now cancels to Idle on hold.
