Toribash 3.06 shaders and decap orgy featuring some of the best single player Toribashians today.

As most of you know, we have released Toribash 3.0. The features in this release are:

Environments
Now you can place objects in the game world, see how they affect you. Some interested mods that were created with environments are:
- “Platform Fighting” - Fighting on a thin ledge high above the ground. Be careful or you could fall.
- “Staircase Fighting” - Two Toris fighting as they tumble down a staircase. Don’t do this at home.

Shaders
Shaders make your Tori look better and shinier. You will require a graphics card that supports OpenGL 2.0. So if your graphics card supports Shaders, you can turn them on in the Game Client Setup. Click here for Help on Shaders.

Free to Play 
You don’t need a registration key anymore. You can play online with other players. However, you need to register on the forum to get a game account. This is free.
     - People who are banned on the forums will NOT be able to play the game, do not waste our time by PMing or emailing us.

Black Belt Servers
To cater to our professional players, we have Black Belt only servers. Players who reach that level can enter these servers. Similarly, look out for other rank-based servers.

Toribash is now available through our partner Cherry Credits. Cherry Credits is a marketing/payment system where you can buy a pre-paid scratch card from 7 Eleven stores and convert those credits into Toricredits.

Cherry Credits scratch cards will be available in 7 Eleven stores after 22nd October 2007 in Singapore. Check them out!

A Toribash 3.0 trailer leaked the other day. It shows the progress of our upgrade of the graphics engine. This is all ingame, I play some multiplayer in the beginning of the clip.

A graphics card that support shaders 2.0 should be enough to run most of the gloss in it.

Behind the editing of the trailer was Nokturnal as usual.

All versions of Toribash 2.6 is now released.

Major addition is the ability to script the engine. This has already created some interesting bots, tutorials, ghost trainers and gui additions.

Features:
- Game scripting support (aka Lua scripts)
- Toribash Tutorial (Written in Lua)
- Toribash Single player bots (access from Scripts Menu)
- Nicer True Type fonts
- Smartcam 2.0 (type /sc 1 to turn on) Can now rotate without disabling it.
- Game Rules menu with new options
- Mods menu
- Can customize each player separately (see bigvssmall mod)
- Added new joint mod commands: strength, velocity, range

Hello!

We have been extraorindary busy with our new server change from one.com to our new dedicated servers. Most people find the new forums and site extremely fast now! If you have any questions regarding this, please contact us.

We have started our public beta for 2.6 and we are now at beta 3. Download here: Windows and for Mac OSX.

The most exciting thing about Toribash 2.6 is that we now have lua! Lua is a nice scripting language for Toribash, and people have made all sorts of wacky stuff in it, like a basic Aritificial Intelligence bot that you can fight with in singleplayer! Head over to the forums and look in our Lua section

Also, today I have just started our first “real prize” competition… Do you want to win a Logitech G5 Laser Mouse?! Click here to see more

We released Toribash 2.5 last week. The release comes a quite a few new updates.

Also got a cool video from NotBowen to celebrate the occasion . It has some sick editing, please check it out
