PALS Will Be Free-To-Play Soon!

It's time for a big change at PALS! PALS has been available as a pay-to-play game for some time now. As a result, the player base was in pretty bad shape. So I've made a decision: I'm switching the game to free-to-play.

It's time for a big change at PALS!

PALS has been available as a pay-to-play game for some time now. As a result, the player base was in pretty bad shape. So I've made a decision: I'm switching the game to free-to-play.

This way, people will be able to experience PALS for free.

But you might be wondering:"What about me? I already bought PALS. What happens now?"

We'll be giving the Cloth Expansion Pack #1 for free to players who have purchased PALS. This way, the money they spent won't go to waste. And I'd like to answer another question.

Where has this guy been for the past month? I've been updating the game!

If you follow our Discord server, you can see me active there.

And I'm back with some great new content for you:

  • Surface System: Each surface has its own unique properties. If you jump onto a grass surface, you'll take less damage than you would on a regular stone surface.

  • Bullet Penetration: Bullets now pass through walls and players, allowing you to perform what we call "Carbon."

  • Weapon improvements and updates: There are now Sniper rifle and weapons with different features, and you can fire while reloading on weapons with a pump-action reload system. (Some weapons are still in development and will be coming soon)

  • Armor has been added to the game and plays an active role in Deathmatch, SecretHunter, and Zombie modes.

  • Hitbox System: You can now hit many objects in the game. This means you'll encounter interactive objects or breakable walls in the future.

  • Bugs: I've identified some game-breaking bugs and have been to fix them.

And finally, Zombies!

The new Zombies! mode is a mode we developed to allow players to experience PALS on their own. With this mode, which supports up to 4 players, you can now play solo as well.

Since I was working on the project all by myself, the process was quite exhausting. The current phase is all about thoroughly testing the game and polishing it up before it goes free! Join our Discord!
