- Patch 1.0.3 - 24 April 2018
We've a new patch for everyone to fix a slight bug. But first, we've got an announcement on our company name! Rocket Hammer has now changed its name to Brimstone. Over the past few months we've been making some changes to the company. We have new team members, new projects, and a new direction for the company. So we felt a change of name was needed to fit this new change and direction! Now on to the patch notes! Patch 1.0.3 Fixed bug where input would be unresponsive inbetween rounds.
- Classic Edition Has Returned! - 11 January 2018
https://giant.gfycat.com/DampCautiousArchaeocete.gif Classic Edition is back! Lost your chance a few months ago to purchase Lance A Lot: Classic Edition so you could invite your friends over and humiliate them in a few rounds of rocket jousting with classic controls? Well, now it is back! Not only is Classic Edition back, but it is also a part of a bundle! Purchase both editions of Lance A Lot and save 25%! That is a whole heck cheaper than buying them individually, but we also won't tell you what to do with your money and your extensive gaming habits. So hey! If you've purchased Enhanced Edition, give Classic a look through! See what it is like to joust on a rocket in an entirely different way than in Enhanced. Don't have either but want to destroy your friends in a variety of ways? Check out the bundle here and give both a purchase!

- Destructible trees & new player character - 13 April 2017
https://giant.gfycat.com/DampCautiousArchaeocete.gif Destructible trees Trees and thorns can be destroyed with explosions (including full charged melee strikes, which are also explosive). We might make other stuff destructible as well, but we want at least static objects to remain, well, static (so walls etc won't be made destructible). Destroyed vegetation regrows after half a minute or so. See the video below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usLcqfm5abE Forest Guardian The Forest Guardian will be the fifth character added to Lance A Lot, and naturally has the color green. This update will be added to the game in a future patch, along with many other changes. For more info on coming updates to Lance A Lot, follow us over at our youtube channel or facebook page. Stay tuned!

- Online cancelled - 28 March 2017
We made the mistake back in October of promising online multiplayer for Lance A Lot. We made the promise without knowing fully what it would take to implement it, and without letting ourselves have enough time to think it through. We shouldn’t have promised it. But we did, and now here we are. We have realized that there is just no way that we can live up the expectations and create the experience people would want. Online multiplayer in our development build has network issues that are fundamental to how the game is built. To fix it we would have to rewrite most of the movement and physics code in the game, and we would also have to redesign the core gameplay to be less dependent on physics and exact hit detection. There is also the issue of sustaining a community over time. Lance A Lot lacks the depth and variation necessary to keep player’s interest for long. It’s fun for what it is…

- Here's our plans for 2017 - 3 February 2017
https://giant.gfycat.com/FearlessAliveDiamondbackrattlesnake.gif What's our plan? During these past few months we have had a lot of discussions internally about ideas for Lance A Lot. The topics have ranged from what it is that we would really want to add to the game if we could, and whether or not we are on the right path with our plans. We have also been questioning whether it’s worthwhile to work on smaller updates to a commercially unsuccessful game. Updates that are likely to generate little awareness outside of our current player base, yet still cost us valuable time to develop. And the conclusion we have come to is that It’s not enough. So, we asked ourselves; why not think bigger? Why not make something wholehearted that truly has the best chance of reaching people’s attention? Why not go beyond merely adding an online mode to a local party game, but rather make Lance A Lot into…

- Patch 10/11 - 10 November 2016
http://i.imgur.com/QvEdxxm.jpg Changes: Color coded player selection box. Color coded player HUD entries. Color corrected player portraits in order to be more similar to ingame colors. Added outline to player score and announcements to make them more readable. Changed the placement colors in the post game screen to the player colors. The menus will now remember whether Tournament or Skirmish and their respective modes and preselect them when navigating the menus. Tournament/game modes will now be highlighted in red when the recommended player count is not met. FPS capped menus in order to avoid unneccessary system useage on some hardware configurations. Balance: Removed domination score bonus from tournaments. Decreased required eliminations for a domination from 4 to 3. Bugfixes: Fixed tooltips not showing up in the settings menu while paused. Fixed a rare case where the tournament rou…
