Development progress for The Ultimate Survival Game

Release notes 0.1.7

TUSG.io Update 0.1.7

Here's what's new in the latest patch.

Free Starter Skills

Every player now starts with three skills unlocked at level 1 — no grinding required:

  • Run — bound to <kbd>Q</kbd>
  • Single Shot — bound to <kbd>E</kbd>
  • Mass Eject — bound to <kbd>A</kbd>

Mass Eject Rework

Mass Eject is more reliable and rewarding now. It needs at least 100 mass to fire and always launches a meaningful shot (10%+ of your mass). A charge that's too short or a cell that's too small no longer wastes your cooldown — you get a quick hint instead.

Mobile UI

Optimized dialogs and UI in general for mobile.

Bug Fixes

  • Opening the inventory right after Play Again no longer freezes your cell.

Jump back in and try it out.

Release notes 0.1.3

This update for TUSG.io focuses on smoother maintenance and clearer in-game communication. Here's what changed in this version:

  • Scheduled maintenance countdown. When a server shutdown is planned, every player now sees a live one-hour countdown in-game, so no one is caught off guard.
  • Maintenance page. While the server is down, visitors get a clean maintenance screen instead of a broken page or connection error.
  • Rich-text news and dev blog. News and dev blog posts now support formatted HTML, with safe rendering across the site, the in-game news panel, and the post dialog.
  • Stability and security. Hardened how posts are displayed to keep the game fast and safe.

More updates are on the way. Follow the dev blog for the latest on TUSG.io, the free multiplayer browser survival game.
