After spending about 4 years as a browser game on Poki, Stick Veterans is back to its roots as a downloadable game here on itch.io.

All the updates that took place during this time have been carried over, including:

• Revamped UI
• New weapons
• Customizable player head/helmet
• ingame tutorial for map editor

Some new changes to expect in this update:

• No more online user accounts; the game is completely playable offline and all required data is stored on your device
• No more shop boxes with randomized items; you can now buy all available cosmetics directly and permanently, no duration limits
  • "buying" items is done with ingame "coins", no real money involved. (If you ask nicely I might tell you how to cheat and get coins instantly)
• Player names are no longer censored or limited to predefined words
• No ads!
• Main menu music is back (can be disabled in Settings)
• You can now view and download user-made maps even if they are still pending approval; to do this, uncheck the "Approved Maps" filter in the maps list

NOTE: Online multiplayer is no longer available. It is unfortunately no longer sustainable to maintain online hosting servers for the game.

Although I appreciate the support that Stick Veterans saw in Poki, I am super excited to bring this game back to its original form. There's still a lot that I want to add/improve, and this feels like the fresh start that I needed to get back on track with it.

Enjoy the update, and please let me know in the comments about any suggestions you have, or any issues you encounter.

Missed you <3
