Washoi devlog

From a plant in a pot to an arena shooter in your browser. This is how Washiki Washoi! got built, one release at a time.

Chapter 4 · Apr – Jul 2026

Engine and game, apart

The engine stopped importing the game, single player and matches started sharing one code path, and the server turned out to have been running at half speed.

v0.9.12

RendererApril 14, 2026

The Deluxe Pipeline, Nine Months Waiting

Warsow's if deluxe / if ! deluxe blocks finally parsed correctly, a cinematic camera with Bezier paths, and protocol codec tests that pin every byte.

The Manual, Checked Against The Code

A shared settings UI with a real key-binding surface, an engine-generic Pickup class, a 56-item QA matrix, and a README version corrected to 0.9.13.

The Engine Stopped Importing The Game

FPS console commands, the lobby panel and the client all moved into the game folder, and ServiceLocator teardown stopped dying on a bad service.

One Path For Single Player, Tests, And Matches

The map command now spawns a real dedicated server, lobby dev-spawn is restricted to loopback, and a full manual pass documented from the code.

The Game Was Running at Half Speed

Pickups became server-authoritative, armor started working, and a 125Hz scheduler discovered it had been running at 62.5Hz the whole time.

FeaturesJuly 15, 2026

Press T, Keep Your Mouse

In-game chat that keeps pointer lock, plus 147 health items that never spawned, every Warsow ammo box, an on-gun ammo counter, and a post-game screen.

Making the Gates Tell the Truth

A QA programme in thirteen items: exit codes that exit, a timing contract, discriminated unions, dependency injection, and five dangerous silent catches de-silenced.
