Hey guys, I wanted to update
this thread but I wasn't able to do it due to it being too old, but I just released an awesome new version of Mutant Factions and wanted to share! Version 1.04 has got.... drum roll please... FLAMETHROWERS!!!
The flamethrower has been requested from quite a few Blockland users who have joined the Mutant Factions community over the years and it is finally here! We also have a Molotov roostertail and a Flare Gun too. Three new weapons ready and waiting to be mastered. All three weapons possess the unique property of fire damage, which deals damage over time, reveals enemies, and sets vehicles on fire!
Check out this awesome gif of the Flamethrower and Molotov roostertail in action:

This means you can reveal enemies through walls with AOE skills like Radiate, use Spike Trap as a radar as people cross over it, or track players with damage over time weapons like the Flare Gun. Lots of fun new tactics to explore :D
We also have some very lovey graphical improvements with dynamic lighting. The loveiest of them all? Vehicle headlights! The headlights will dynamically light up the map and really add a sense of depth to the game. It also makes it easier to drive in dark areas! We also have better looking explosions, muzzle flashes and projectiles like the Flare Gun that light up the map as they fly though it.
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy the new version. It's been great fun developing the Flamethrower and other new weapons and I would love to see some of you guys come back for a game or two to check it all out and maybe give me a little feedback!
