realized i overdid it, poisons have been watered down (less progress effect at zero health)
Update Log
- slightly stricter cooldown restrictions on accounts and IP addresses
- prevent double form submission using javascript
- just in case, also prevent feedings less than 5 seconds apart on the backend
changes to hopefully reduce exploits!
halloween is all ready to go, valentine's is Big but a little more than halfway done, april fool's also mostly finished. i'm so excited about these, can't believe i have to wait to show them to everyone. preview what's coming for valentine's here if you want.
on that note, if you witnessed the accidental pushing of a weird update for 2 hours yesterday.... ignore that.
finally, this means nothing to anybody else, but the item data has been moved to php! i had to keep them in the sql database for security purposes when everything was html/javascript, but now that's unnecessary and annoying. hopefully i didn't break anything in the process.
worm birthdays will be celebrated with cake! birthday worm gets a party hat and is immune to poison.
working on some holidays also, stay tuned
Poison now does -50 progress on worms with zero health, equivalent to one Battery Juice at full health. Hate is as strong as love
New awards for the winner of the previous season, and the worm with the highest ever progress increase in a single day. The single day data is also displayed in the trophy case.
The preexisting Underdog award now goes to the loser of the previous season. Additionally, the Creature's Pet award no longer displays on the racetrack, only on the worm's trophy page.
Realized that the color palettes across some pages (particularly worm race) has drifted over time, and couldn't unsee the inconsistencies. Made very slight changes to correct this, most notably the pinks, purples, and blues. Wouldn't make an update about it but I know y'all are autistic and don't want to scare anyone with unannounced changes lol
Worm awards are now displayed on the racetrack page! Background color and hover tooltip name display the current recipient.
Also, added a few more.
Added a trophy section to display how many seasons each worm has won! Sketch art for now, just wanted to get something in there before the season rolls over tomorrow :)
3 special worm awards to start! Check out the guide for details. Awards are displayed in the worm's trophy section.
worm race now has seasons in addition to the all-time race!!!!
this has been the goal for an extremely long time and i'm really pleased to have finally had the time to do it. i think this should make the whole experience more rewarding, especially if ur fav worm hasn't done well in the past!
the beta race season will run until the end of may, after which it will start a standard 3 month season cycle with summer 2026.
css adjustments
in addition 2 the obvious updates needed for the new features, u may notice some very minor visual changes on existing areas. nothing too jarring i think
future of worm race
the only big thing left to do, other than fix any bugs this update causes, is to make a trophy case for each worm to display a consolidated list of its wins. then i'll be fully shifting gears 2 other projects indefinitely - finishing the fishing minigame maybe?
