Hello lads and ladies.

This is going to be the first news post of many from me, I'm Tiyuri - the new graphics artist on the Hedgewars team. I'm also going to be keeping the website updated much more often to keep you all up to date with development.

 So on that note, what's new since 0.9.3?  Well let's see 

• In game chat is now implemented, chat (and taunt!) your buddies during network play
• Mortar, whip and Kamikaze weapon additions
• Two new themes, desert island and city
• New maps
• New animations, including an idle animation!
• Rope reworked, much greater momentum, ability to aim the rope between swings
• AI updates
• Teams now work in fort mode, i.e. 2v2
• Many network/gameplay bug fixes 
• Ability to attack whilst jumping/rope swinging 
• Some weapons can only be used after a certain number of turns 
• Lots of new graphics

  And this is just a handful of the updates in 0.9.4

 You can find some screenshots and media in this post in the forums here .

 I hope you're looking forward to the new release

Spread the word for us :)
