v1.0600 is live 🎵 The title screen has its own music now, and running across town is way smoother — we hunted down the biggest cause of the little frame hitches and squashed it. Free on Google Play, iOS & browser → chumplife3d.com
Chump Life
@dev.chumplife3d.com
a free MMO about derpy little guys who loot and bonk each other. now full 3D, built in public, jank and all. free on google play, ios & browser: chumplife3d.com
our reminder notifications had never once worked. not for one player, ever. before calling the phones notification code we asked whether that function existed. it always said no. it was there the whole time, only the asking was broken. deleted the check. android for now.
theres a welcome calendar now. sixteen days, every card spins the actual 3d item you get. miss a day and it pauses, it does not reset. day sixteen is a crown you cannot get any other way and nobody has reached it yet. free on google play, ios and browser: chumplife3d.com
the world has day and night now, on the servers clock, so everyone is in the same one. one real hour is a full day, night lasts about six minutes, and it never goes fully black. you can craft a lamp too. six metal, four glass, four fasteners. free on google play, ios and browser: chumplife3d.com
a player called trench quietly made seven videos about our game. a crafting tutorial, a hand drawn advert nobody asked for, the lot. so we cut them together and gave them the treatment they deserved. every clip is his. https://youtu.be/i_TbltrSQ1k
safety deposit boxes are in town now, so theres somewhere to put the good stuff thats not your bag. drag between your bag and the box, pull part of a stack instead of all of it, stacks merge properly. and you can rename your gear, custom names get a gold band.
and then theres this one. you can DRAW your own profile background. pens, opacity, an eraser, undo, and you can hide your character while you draw so you can place things properly. everyone who looks you up sees your art.
you can finally see who everyone is. aim at someones nameplate and press E, or just tap it on mobile, and their profile opens. thats their actual chump, the outfit and the paint theyre wearing, and you can spin it around. level, bio, pvp kills, monster kills, k/d.
profiles are live. tap anyones nameplate and you get their character in the outfit and paint theyre actually wearing, spin it around, plus their level, bio, pvp kills and k/d. and you can draw your own profile background. everyone who looks you up sees your art. youtu.be/hwwQnIWRzCg
i added player profiles you can draw on, in my potato MMO

if you dropped something inside a building it used to land on the roof. not near it. ON it. loot from anything that died indoors did the same. turns out objects were settling upward from a ceiling instead of downward from where they actually were. fixed, your stuff stays on the floor now.
stamina means something now. monsters used to chase at full sprint forever while your own bar died in about 18 seconds, so escaping wasnt hard, it was impossible. now chasing costs them energy and an exhausted one drops to a walk. fleeing tires them too. everyone gets tired.
16,000 of you now, mostly on phones. fixed because you told us: passive NPCs, the 107.9 helmet, the crafting menu you had to reopen every time, machines dropping output on the roof, spawning grey. keep them coming. chumplife3d.com
crafting pass: craft x N with a stepper, one timer, all of them at once. weapons wear out and break now, same as armor. and armor was being weighed as solid metal, so the helmet went from 107.9 to 3.92. sorry. chumplife3d.com
the towns done. four districts, streets, plazas, solid roofs you dont fall through. and all 38 pieces of the city kit are craftable by you, and you can recolour anything you place. go build your own street. chumplife3d.com
the creatures have jobs now. they find a tree, beat it down, and haul the trunk home to a shared pile. they also pick up weapons and armor they find and put them on. punch one mid haul and it drops the log. chumplife3d.com
theres a shop machine now. walk up, pick an offer, buy. you can drop your own shop anywhere, stock it, and flip it public. and the price doesnt have to be coins, an offer can want items. chumplife3d.com
you can own land now. buy a deed, use it, and the camera pulls up into an aerial view where you mark out your plot. name it, invite guests, fly home to it from anywhere. anything you build on it is yours. chumplife3d.com
the world is now 10km by 10km. it was 1km. thats a hundred times the area, and the town and everyone in it got moved to the middle instead of sitting in a corner. theres a stupid amount of ground out there now, on purpose. chumplife3d.com
you can paint yourself now. get a Body Paint kit, open the painter, colour your chump triangle by triangle, save, and everyone in the world sees it. saving stores the look ON the kit, so you can hand it to someone else. chumplife3d.com

we added a Die button to the game, on purpose. people kept getting wedged in the terrain with no way back. it asks you first and it means it, you drop your whole bag and your xp goes with it. but you spawn back in unstuck youtu.be/yTF_d591NQM

crafting is live. drop this workbench in the world, feed it your materials, crank out gear. or run it in reverse and break old gear back into materials it shows the cost, time and roughly how good it'll roll before you commit, then it drops at the tray chumplife3d.com
behind the scenes on the crafting machines we just shipped. this is where we set how far each one reaches for materials, where the item drops, and how fast it cranks. so no two workbenches feel the same crafting is live for everyone right now. chumplife3d.com
this is the painter. 233 hues, 26 shades each, 6058 swatches, you drag straight onto the chump to colour it in. pinch to zoom, spin it, erase if you mess up its per triangle, so give yourself a shirt or cover your whole face. we wont stop you chumplife3d.com
we built a thing where you paint your own chump. not presets, you're colouring the actual triangles of the model. 6058 colours, and everyone in the world sees it when you walk past thats our guy with the yellow hair, everyone else is factory settings chumplife3d.com
one of our players made an ad for chumplife and it's better than anything we've put out, so we just published it only thing we changed was the music, theirs was a copyrighted track so we made an original one youtu.be/fxktvAfxF0w
a player made an ad for my free browser MMO (it's better than mine)

one of our players built an obstacle course out of the carry blocks. we never shipped a building system, they just did it anyway lol climbing has no steepness limit on purpose (we figured people would stack stuff sideways) so this is accidental parkour youtu.be/cQ2Tmeaotys
we never added building to my browser MMO (a player did it anyway)
