Hello Hello Hello 👋 

Thank you for visiting our little dev blog about Narrow One.  It's always nice to see you return.

 🐉  China update 🐉  

We proudly present to you, the china update! This means looooots of new stuff (and that is also why it took so long). 

Let's talk about the map first, it's a big one

We had the idea to have a battle take place on a wall for a long time. A map where you walk on the wall, jump off and walk parallel to the wall and cross to the other side through a broken gate or other broken parts. And what theme would fit this idea better than ancient china. This is how we got to our version of the Great Wall. Did you notice that this map is mirrored instead of rotated? We wanted to do this to keep the idea of the inner and outer wall possible, otherwise it would be flipped mid way.  One side of the wall, the outer side is where the enemy attacked from, climbing up with ladders, breaking the gate and digging underneath the wall. The fight went on and behind the wall. Now you arrive and your task is to reclaim this part of the wall. 

This map features a few different weather scenarios such as sunny, sunset, night and a rainy foggy day. 

Also, if you listen carefully you can hear some new insect noises, random insect emoji 🐛    

The center tower of the map is the entrance gate of the wall. The guard tower has 3 different floors. Hide behind the war drums on the top floor and enjoy the rhythm of people shooting at you. 

In this map we try to get a good balance between spread out open battlefield perfect for sniping and hectic close quarter fights, especially fun for the new bow....

Repeating Crossbow

The weapon selection is finally balanced, with 3 bows and 3 crossbows we restored balance to the universe. (Shout out to 𝕾𝖎𝖗 𝕯𝖚𝖒𝖇 for the suggestion)  The repeating crossbow holds 10 bolts, which can be fired rapidly. While shooting the player has reduced walking speed. Try not to walk to keep the aim tight. The repeating bow, is useful for raining down arrows from a safe distance, thats why we called the class, the support class. We also redesigned all the previously made bow skins to also fit the new crossbow. In order to add the repeating crossbow we had to rewrite all the code for the weapons. The game grew a lot, with the addition of classes and unique bows making the code somewhat messy. Rewriting the code for the bow took some time but it will save some time once we will get to adding melee and other fun stuff.  

Crank that crossbow!

New Gear

This update also has some new gear for you to collect, lucky you. 

4 clothing sets. The sets are looooooosely based on gear from different Chinese dynasties. Besides that we added some extra hats. 

And! My personal favourite, the dragon bow skin set. Every bow has a few different version of the dragon type bow skin, some with a scary dragon head and some just the back scales of the dragon. Hopefully something for everyone.

Separate items

Also some separate items, simple hat, hair pinned up with stick, emperor style hat and.....

The most requested hat finally makes a return, 🎊 Tiger Hat  🎊 . Originally created for the Chinese new year, but now a permanent item. I promise you, it won't disappear this time.  Rarr 🐯 

Minor changes

Because we redid some of the weapon mechanics, the small crossbow no longer requires you to click to reload. Just single clicks for firing. This should make the bow a little better and more comfortable to use. 

Hall map changes

Someone hooligans broke the wall in the viking map, how rude! 

Matches in the viking map seem easy to get stuck, sometimes its too difficult to push through the enemies defense and steal their flag. With the new route you now have a new sneaky way for entering and escaping the building. The route takes some practice because you have to manoeuvre slippery ice chunks.  

Fearless small bow skin update 

The fearless gear for the small bow was lacking some coolness, hopefully we got the coolness back to level with the new skin update.

🎉 Alright that's it, thanks for reading.

We're super grateful that you play our weird little arrow game. Also shout out to the community you guys are amazing. 

Thanks everyone!

Cheers,
