Grapples Galore

 
Minor Bug Fixes & Latency Fixes - 19/02/2025Feb 19, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsIn this update I've fixed some bugs with certain Steam achievements and increased the game's tick rate. People were experiencing latency issues, particularly in the new obstacle course game mode, and this tick rate change should help. Enjoy!Free multiplayer shooter Grapples Galore is out in full, and it's pure chaosFeb 9, 2025 - PCGamesNNothing beats the feeling of a good grappling hook. Zipping into the shadows as Batman. Tethering people to helicopters in Just Cause. Flying across the map in seconds in Titanfall 2. The tool is, quite frankly, the best movement option in whatever game you're playing, as it exemplifies complete freedom to maneuver as you see fit. That's why I was immediately drawn to Grapples Galore while browsing Steam, as the free-to-play arena shooter has just left early access with a huge new update. Read the rest of the story... Grapples Galore Is Finally Leaving Early Access - 07/02/2025Feb 7, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsI'm happy to announce that Grapples Galore is finally leaving early access and with this comes the biggest Grapples Galore update I've ever released.

Sorry for the wait, I've been pretty busy lately but have managed to fit in some time to make some quality of life changes. Bug fixes: - Fixed join/leave messages so they show for everyone - Small UI fixes - Made explosion particles fade out smoothly - Repeated weapons spawns fixed - Fixed the bug where players sometimes join with another players old KDA - Fixed map cycling. All maps must now play before a new one is selected instead of fully randomized map cycling Quality of life changes: - Low health effects - You can now look straight up and down - Player is semi-transparent now when the camera is too close - Increased weapon pickup range - TDM auto balances now between matches - Player who join a TDM game late will now always join the smaller team - To swap teams in TDM you can now use the "/swap" command - Red team is always the enemy team in TDM The big change that I've been working on though is updating the workshop map creation tools. You guys can expect a new tutorial soon. Now you will be able to add custom skyboxes and fog. I've also made the tools slightly easier to use and have done some bug fixing as well.New Map! - 07/05/2024May 7, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey all! A new update is out now with a brand new official map, Islands! This map was designed by a player called Arcrine for the 1st official workshop map competition. Let me know what you guys think! Be sure to join the Discord if you want to participate in future competitions (the link can be found in game) Alongside this new map I added a few other things: - Join/leave messages - KDA's stay when you leave and rejoin a match now I also fixed a few things: - Fixed burst rifle acheivement - Fixed machete hitbox - Fixed bounty sound effect bug - Fixed railgun charge bug when picking up weapons - Updated Russian translationsSteam Achievements Overhaul - 31/03/2024Mar 31, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey all, this update is a fairly small one. I just added a bunch of new Steam achievements and removed some of the ones I didn't like. Good luck trying to unlock them all and let me know what you think of these changes! I also improved some of the Russian and Spanish translations.New Cosmetics! - 19/03/2024Mar 19, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey all! A small new patch is out now that includes some minor gameplay changes. These are: - Reduced aim assist and improved hitboxes (this raises the skill ceiling so please let me know what you think about this). - The railgun has been buffed and now has a visual indicator for its charge up and a reduced charge time! Alongside that though there are 2 new cosmetics packs that will be released soon and the price of the original cosmetics pack 1 has also been reduced after much request :) If you want to support me and my games development, please consider checking these out!Weapons Overhaul - 2 New Guns!Mar 1, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey all, a new update is out now! In this new update I have added 2 new weapons: - The railgun: a gun that shoots a powerful laser but takes a little while to charge up - The burst rifle: a fast firing rifle that shoots in burst of 3 I've also made some major changes to the weapons you are already familiar with though: - The rocket launcher shoots an actual projectile now instead of relying on hitscan - All weapons now have varying amounts of recoil - The minigun has A LOT of recoil (you can pretty much fly with it lol) - All weapons have been nerfed a little bit (increasing the time to kill). I've also handled some important bug fixing and behind the scenes changes: - Fixed shooting through walls bug - Fixed host advantage - Miscellaneous bug fixes and small UI changes Let me know about any bugs you encounter in the discord and your thoughts on the new weapons :DNew Big Changes - February 11th 2024Feb 11, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey all, a new update is finally out! 🎊 🎉 It's been a while since the last update. Thank you for your patience. In this new update I have done quite a lot though. - I switched networking solutions to a faster one (meaning you will have lower pings) - Refactored about half of the games code to make bug fixing easier - Ukrainian is now a supported language! - Removed the lobby for a variety of reasons (let me know what you guys think) - Moved the match settings to the main menu - Moved character customization to the main menu - Reworked main menu UI - Reworked options menu UI - Increased the speed of the countdown and changed the animation a little bit - Finally fixed the host shut down the lobby bug - Fixed win achievements not showing up - Added a match settings display to the public lobbies list so you can see info about the game you are going to join - Made it so your grace period goes away when you pick up a weapon and not when you shoot a weapon. - I also removed some match settings. This may be controversial but I felt like a lot of them just lead to less fun gameplay when you change them. Let me know if you really miss any of the old match settings, I may add some back in the future but a lot of them felt unnecessary. - Did some general bug fixing This has been a huge update to work on behind the scenes since I had to rewrite and refactor so much code so there may be some bugs in the game still but these should be far easier to fix now. Keep me posted on any bugs you encounter! I plan on continuing to focus on stabilizing the game for a little bit longer and may release a few more patches related to that soon but after that I plan on doing a weapons overhaul so you guys can look forward to that!Patch Notes 03/01/2024 - Steam Workshop SupportJan 3, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey all! A new update is finally out. Steam Workshop support for custom maps is now in the game! I have have added some related text channels to the discord if you are interested in making your own custom maps and if you wish to play other peoples maps, subscribe to them through the Steam Workshop! Alongside this I have completely revamped the train map. I hope you all like this change but I'm aware it might be a little polarizing as the train no longer moves. I had to make this change though so I could add Steam Workshop support. I have also made some back end changes that I hope will fix some of the matchmaking bugs. You can also look forward to a new devlog about these updates very soon! Thank you all for your patience. I plan to focus on reworking a lot of the back end code to improve servers and matchmaking next. This may take a while so updates may continue to be a little bit slow but I think that's for the best for the game.TDM out now!Nov 30, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey all! Sorry if I have been a little quiet this past week but I have been hard at work on adding team deathmatch to the game! Team deathmatch is out now in Grapples Galore alongside some minor bug fixes. Let me know what you guys think of this new game mode! Bug Fixes: - Ragdoll movement properly synced across the network. - Barrel hitboxes and explosions fixedSmall Patch 23/11/23Nov 23, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey all, a new small patch is out now! This is just a fixed version of the patch I tried to release yesterday. In this patch I've fixed some small profile picture bugs and updated the DLC button to make it more clear.WhoopsNov 22, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsI made a little mistake with the latest patch so I'm rewinding this change. I'll try to get a new patch out by the end of the day though.Profile Picture Bug FixesNov 22, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey all, a new small patch is out now! In this patch I've fixed some small profile picture bugs and updated the DLC button to make it more clear.Just some small bug fixesNov 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey again! Another patch is out now, nothing particularly interesting this time unfortunately. Just some small bug fixes and a few improved translations!Patch Notes 19/11/23Nov 19, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey all, another patch is out now! Optimizations and bug fixes: - Optimized and fixed player positions - Optimized and fixed grappling hooks (small cooldown added to prevent auto clickers and a little camera shake was added when you fail a grapple.) - Grappling hook latency issues fixed - Probably fixed the camera input randomly stopping bug (but its hard to know for sure so let me know if you still encounter it). Balancing Changes: - Bounties adjusted to activate after a 3 kill streak and each kill you get only make your bounty go up by 5 points. New Features: - Wall jumps added to help players get up ledges. Now if you grapple onto a wall and jump you can jump up and off of the wall. - You can now only see your own ping and only in game as well - Bounty visuals adjusted slightly. - Autofill chat added to the lobby to help with commands - Sound effects added to the text chat - And last but not least after a lot of requests, Russian is now supported in Grapples Galore!Patch 18/11/23Nov 17, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey all! Another patch is out now. I believe this version is stable but I have changed a lot so let me know what bugs/issues you experience. I know a lot of the games current issues come from slightly unoptimized netcode so I'm going to be working on improving this issue next. New features: - Bounties: If a player has a kill streak of 5 they get a bounty of +10. This increases by 10 for each additional kill they get. Killing a player with a bounty awards you with bonus points and you can spot players with bounties because they have thick yellow outlines visible from around the map (kinda ugly visuals for now but ill fix those in the future). - Bounties toggle in the match settings - You can now see servers open around the globe - Ping display for servers and players - Guns are now server authoritative which means hacking will be much more difficult for clients. Hosts may still be able to cheat but if you encounter cheating hosts just create your own lobby or find a new lobby to join. Bug fixes: - Kill and assist pop up visible even when dead
