Changes to [[Explosives]]:
* Pressure mine disposal:
** You can now shoot a mine to detonate it, but you must deliberately aim at one mine and score at least one inaccurate hit.
** You no longer need to roll for accuracy when using an explosive; the explosive blast will set primed pressure mines off automatically.
* Directional mine disposal:
** You can now shoot a directional mine to destroy it (will not detonate on a hit), but you must deliberately aim at one mine and score at least one inaccurate hit.
** If you use a weapon that causes a Standard explosion, it will destroy all mines on the same Side, not just the one you targeted.
** You can now deliberately approach a primed directional mine from a Targeted Side, but you must pass two successive Agility checks (8+ to pass) to avoid setting it off. If you pass both, you enter the Side without setting the mine off. If you fail one check, you still enter the Protected Side, but it sets the mine off at 0.5x damage. Failing both sets it off at full damage. Regardless of the result, carefully approaching a mine breaks Stealth. However, it can also be done outside of combat.

Changes to ==== [[Unarmed combatWeapons]]:====* Two 15 new techniquesfirearms:** [[ArmaLite AR-10(T)]] - New AR-10 family member, '''Steal''' and '''Monkey's Paw'''semi-automatic rifle, have been introduced[[.338 Federal]]** [[Breda PG]] - burst-fire only machine gun, [[7x57mm Mauser]]** [[Browning BAR]] (not to be confused with [[Colt M1918 BAR|the other BAR]]) - semi-automatic rifle, [[.243 Winchester]]** [[Browning BPR]] - pump-action rifle, [[.243 Winchester]]** [[Remington Model 700 ADL]] - New Rem 700 family member, bolt-action rifle, [[.243 Winchester]]** [[MAS Berthier Model 1892 Artillery Carbine]] - bolt-action rifle, [[8x50mm R Lebel]]** [[MAS Lebel Model 1886/M93]] - bolt-action rifle, [[8x50mm R Lebel]]** [[MAS RSC Model 1918]] - semi-automatic rifle, [[8x50mm R Lebel]]** [[Rossi Circuit Judge]] - semi-automatic rifle/shotgun, [[.45 Colt]] (3-inch chamber)** [[SAKO Tikka T3 Lite]] - bolt-action rifle, [[.338 Federal]]** [[Savage Arms Model 99R]] - lever-action rifle, [[.358 Winchester]]** [[SIDARME Model 1915 CSRG Chauchat]] - machine gun, [[8x50mm R Lebel]]** [[Winchester Model 70 Featherweight]] - bolt-action rifle, [[.358 Winchester]]** [[Winchester Model 88]] - lever-action rifle, [[.243 Winchester]]** [[Winchester XPR Compact]] - bolt-action rifle, [[.243 Winchester]]* 5 new melee weapons:** [[Iron ball]] - Crude weapon** [[M1886 Rosalie]] - Bayonet for the [[MAS Lebel Model 1886/M93]]** [[M1905 sword-bayonet]] - Bayonet for the [[Springfield M1903A3]]** [[Service cutlass]] - One-handed sword** [[Sten Mk I]] - Bayonet for the [[Enfield RSAF Sten Mk II]]* Other changes:** [[Armat M41A Pulse Rifle]]: Removed from retail, becomes an artifact weapon
Changes to shops and services:
* The style shop has been revamped completely and is now a custom clothing service.
** Completely custom human/halfling clothing items and youkai outfits can be designed there. The basic principle is for the player to describe, in free-form, what the item is supposed to look like, then to purchase protection ratings, covered body parts, effects, and more in order to give the custom item a useful purpose. This service is intentionally ''very expensive''.
* Dojos have been expanded, and now offer various machines and training programs designed to improve a character's natural statistics:
** The stats that can be improved are '''Natural [[Pain Sensitivity]], Natural [[Strength]], Max [[Blood]], Max [[Limb health|Limb HP]], Natural [[Endurance]], and Natural [[Agility]]'''
** Each training program has an XP counter. Spending time (and effort) on a training nets XP, which can be spent to increase one natural stat, up to certain limits (some stats cannot be trained further once they reach a certain value, others have a maximum XP limit)
** Training program XP is now tracked on inventory sheets.
* The bank's item vault service has been modified:
** Item vaults are no longer free and unlimited. A player character must first purchase an item vault before it can be used; this costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''1000''' and allows the player access to a 50-unit vault. This vault can be upgraded in 50-unit increments, up to the maximum size of 400 units; upgrading costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''(size x 15)'''
** Withdrawing items from a vault now costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''500 + (weight of items withdrawn x 10)''', and it is not possible to withdraw more than 150 units of items at once.
** Withdrawing items from a vault now requires waiting for 1d3 day periods (between 4 and 12 hours), as delivery time.
** [[LBE]] items must be stored empty. LBE items that cannot be folded down (e.g. most backpacks) are not allowed inside the vault anymore.

= June 24th 2020 === [[Weapons]] and [[Ammunition]] ===='''Version 5* The rules now explicitly specify that [[Arrow|Arrows]], [[Large bolt|Large bolts]] and [[Small bolt|Small bolts]] can be reused, according to specific conditions.54''' - Magazines ** Under normal conditions, all hits and other knickmisses produce arrows that can be retrieved. Only critical failures result in arrow or bolt breakage.** If the arrowhead is XPL (Explosive): All hits and misses result in detonation, making explosive arrows 100% non-knacksreusable.** If the arrowhead is IMP (Improvised): Misses and critical misses result in breakage. Only hits are reusable.
Changes introduced:
* [[Glock 18C]]: Event line and wiki page now correctly state that the weapon is fitted with the '''Ported barrel''' Maze Customs mod instead of an integrated muzzle brake.
* New [[Weapon accessories#Muzzle brakes|muzzle brake]]: '''Muzzle brake, Shotgun, standard, .410 bore'''

'''Version 6.5.4''' - Guns, Blood, and Drugs; A balancing update
= May 23rd 2020 ='''Version 5.53''' - Update to == [[foodMaze Customs]] and ====* The [[huntingHeckler & Koch MP5K]]is added to the MP5 Customs family.* Customs: New modifications for the MP5:** Barrel length: Short MP5K barrel (4.5-inch barrel) - Muzzle: N/A, Underbarrel: Integrated foregrip - Cost: 150 P$** The Short MP5K barrel is incompatible with the Surefire 628 and Quad rails
Changes to ==== [[HuntingLimb health]]:====* Game meat from certain creatures no longer provide [[EffectsWounds]] such as Alertness increase or Strength +10%/+20% for now cause a few turns.* Instead, a system bleeding rate of '''[[Hunting#High-value meat|high-value meat]]''' was created0.3 Blood per wound per turn. Meat from certain creatures is now considered to be either a '''Delicacy''' (Double value) or a '''Luxury''' (Triple value).
Changes to ==== [[CreaturesMeds]]====* First aid kit (FAK):Weight reduced to 1 (previously 2)* The item lines of all relevant creatures now state if they produce delicacy meat, luxury meat, tainted meat, illegal meat, or if they produce no meat at allEpoetin-alfa: Effect modified to Blood +0.** An exception was made for humans2/turn, halflings and youkai - their item lines do not display meat status30 ntri/turn, as it is assumed that the meat of all playable species is already known to be illegal.* All references to "Poisonous meat" have been changed to the correct term: [[Hunting#Tainted meat|Tainted meat]]+0.4% Fatigue/turn for 20 turns
Changes to ==== [[FoodAddictions]]====* New addiction mechanics simplifying the previous system:As before, using a substance comes with a percentage chance of becoming addicted. However, the withdrawal tiers now function differently and more simply. Now, every use of an addictive substance is a chance to increase the current addiction level by 1, from the minimum of 0 (no effects) to the maximum of 3.* The 'Instead of disabling corresponding withdrawal effects when an addictive substance''Hots effects are active, withdrawal effects are now truly permanent and continue being active even if the character uses the corresponding substance. In other words, usage effects and withdrawal effects now stack.* [[Hospital]]: Addiction removal is now tier based and depends on the current level. It now costs 250 P$ and 2 day periods of mandatory rest per level, up to 750 P$ and 6 day periods (1 full day) for treating a single Level 3 addiction.* Addiction effects: To account for the possibility of med effects and withdrawal effects being active simultaneously, the following withdrawal effects have been modified:** Nicotine withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%** Alcohol withdrawal*** Level 1: Need a drink (level 1) applies to this character (see below), *** Level 2: Need a drink (level 2) applies to this character (see below), Agility -gon''' no longer has 1*** Level 3: Need a Strength boosting effectdrink (level 3) applies to this character (see below), in accordance Agility -2, IS tier +1, Hallucinations** Cannabis withdrawal*** Level 1: Mild munchies*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to the changes listed above15. Instead0%, nutrition was increased from 296 Mild munchies, Mild thirst*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 59230.0%, Intense munchies, Mild thirst** Anabolic steroid withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 60.0%*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 90.0%, Rage** Sick hakutaku syndrome*** Level 1: IR +1*** Level 2: FT +1, IR +1*** Level 3: FT +1, IR +1, Hallucinations
==== [[Effects]] ====
* Alcohol affinity ([[Oni]] creature trait): Effect simplified. Instead of both halving Inebriation received and doubling the Stress relief effect of [[Effects#Stress|Need a drink]] to compensate, this trait now simply doubles the Stress relief effect but gives the normal amount of Inebriation.
* The "Need a drink" effect has been delineated into 4 variants; Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. In essence, the "Need a drink" effect progressively offers less and less Stress relief per Inebriation gained as your character's level of Alcohol addiction increases.

=January 9th 2022 = General changes ==* Blood no longer naturally heals at a rate of 0.1 per turn, making Pain the only statistic that naturally regenerates every turn no matter what. If you have no wounds, your current Blood level stabilizes at its current level.* Natural blood regeneration is now tied to the daily reset; on top of the nutrition/hydration that is normally lost at midnight ingame, your body will attempt to regenerate 1 unit of Blood on its own every day (as long as there are no open wounds at that moment). Upon hitting the daily resert, you will lose 150 ntri and 2% Fatigue, and regenerate 1 Blood instantly. This is intended to incite finding BTKs or pay for a medic. If neither is possible, the tried and tested "buy food and let it heal over a few days" also works, however it may take several in-game days for large amounts of lost Blood. * Blood Transfusion Kits now carry 3 units of Blood each instead of 5. Full BTKs now cost 350 P$ instead of 550 P$.* A new type of medical item ('''Epoetin-alfa''', syringe) can be consumed to start a 20-turn effect resembling the old natural regeneration effect: +0Version 6.1 Blood per turn, in exchange for -15 ntri and +03.2% Fatigue per turn. In total, the item would help your body regenerate up to 2 Blood but burn up to 300 ntri and 4% Fatigue. Syringes of Epoetin-alfa cost 100 P$, making them the cheapest syringe-type medical item.* Changes to 9'''Augmentations''': - The Guardian LSS no longer increases the amount of Blood regenerated per turn1000-Weapon Update, since that mechanic is gone. Instead, each level increases the amount of Blood regenerated every day by 1, at no extra cost of nutrition and fatigue. Level 1 therefore lets you heal 2 Blood per day, Level 2 is 3 Blood per day, and Level 3 is 4 Blood per day, all for the same cost of 150 ntri/2% Fatigue per turn, making it viable to heal large amounts of Blood loss over the space of a few days.* Changes to '''Clothing protections'''Part 9: Buffs to protection ratings. ''-Resistant'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 4 limb damage (previously, 2), Grenade launchers and ''-PROOF'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 8 limb damage (previously, 4).Knives
12 new weapons added to the game (2 firearms, 10 melee weapons), bringing the total to 888.

This update introduces two new methods of playing MazeWorld: '''Survival''' and '''Freeform''', and retroactively renames the 'main' mode into '''Contestant Story''' or just '''Story'''. These new game modes, so to speak, aim at providing more flavors for players and future GMs to enjoy.
== General changes =January 2nd 2022 =* The [https://docs'''Version 6.google3.com/forms/d/1fLN_YUoVStGt0ElBtVpyMg1bIvn1Eqxc3BuDJrdIkBk/ character sign8''' -up form] has been updated to account for the changes below.The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 8: Hand grenades and Axes
== Survival ==In this new mode, players adopt the role of a Survivor, whose only objective is to kill anyone that looks at them wrong, and survive as long as possible. Survival is mainly inspired from old-school MazeWorld, it is essentially an endless Uncivilized Area run, just as it once was.New weapons ====
When playing Survival, players have 11 new weapons added to the option to choose between two modes: '''Tier X''' (The game ends after completing X Challenges) or '''Endless''' (The game only ends with the Survivor's death6 firearms, or at player request5 melee weapons), bringing the total to 876.
The main differences introduced by Survival are as follows* Firearms:* No towns or intersections as players know them - Survival is an endless Uncivilized Area streak, equivalent to a Deep route. Explorable areas can even still be found and completed for their rewards!* Nutrition and Hydration Reset occur every time the Survivor reaches a Trading Post (TP reset). In turn, the reset is much lower than normal. The base values are 420 ntri and 140 wtr (0.2x a normal daily reset).[[Class 4 weapons]]:* Date and time are not tracked.* No Faction Reputation and no Renown to worry about.* [[Model 9210]]* All skills are unlocked: Survivors start with Unskilled in all non** [[Model 9430 Tear-combat skills (unless skill levels were purchased at Startgame)ball]]* The Survivor starts with a MAIM account, with all generic and regular named mercenaries available (Special mercs are not available as they're tied to the story).* Every 50 rooms, the Survivor will find a Trading Post, which is nothing more than an intersection with a fixed amount of shops and services (see below for details)* On the room following every second Trading Post (101, 201, 301...), the Survivor will find a Challenge. Completing the Challenge is necessary to progress forwards![[Model 9590 Sting-ball]]* If playing on Tier X, X corresponds to the amount of Challenges the player must complete in order to reach the end** [[No.77]]** There is no upper limit on the Tier number (and subsequent amount of Challenges), though in order to keep games from being unreasonably long, the author's recommendation is to keep it between 1 and 10, and any longer games should be Endless instead.* [[Stinger]]** The author personally recommends first* [[Zarya-time players and GMs to try Survival Tier 4, for a 401-room adventure.3]]* Mercenaries function differentlyMelee weapons:** The time-based hiring rates do not apply, and are instead replaced by a 50-room hiring rate (corresponds to the distance between Trading Posts). That special rate is equivalent to 2x the 24-hour rate.[[Class 5 Long weapons]]:** Upon being hired, a mercenary will immediately join the Contestant with no waiting time.* [[Hookaroon]]** Merc deaths do not need to be reported.* [[Ice axe]]** All mercenaries show up with their gear. There are no gear costs - their equipment is essentially free.[[Class 5 Short weapons]]:** All special parameters are ignored.* [[Falx]]*** [[Gerber Downrange Tomahawk]]*** [[Tomahawk]]
The only objective in Survival is to survive. Each Survivor will be entered into a leaderboard for creatures killed and KV score obtained at the end of their run, as well as rooms visited in Survival Endless.==== Other changes ====
== Freeform play ==Changes to existing weapons:This is essentially the normal game, but without main story quests or sidequests and with certain shops, services and other conveniences immediately available. This mode aims at a more relaxed experience, without the pressure of the pre-made main story, as well as offering an opportunity * [[M84]]: Weight changed to design your own stories and plots. '''2''' (from 1)
The main differences introduced by Freeform are as follows:
* All skills are unlocked. Freeform characters start with Unskilled in all non-combat skills, as well as a MAIM account.
* The Freeform character starts with a MAIM account, with all generic and regular named mercenaries available (Special mercs are not available as they're tied to the story).
** Reputation and Renown requirements from certain mercenaries are disabled.
* Roazon is collapsed, exactly as it would after the Contestant completes Sidequest S3-2.
* All repeatable activities are available: Trading Missions, Mercenary Contracts, Mining, and Bounty Hunter
* Several shops and services that are normally only obtained as sidequest rewards are available from the start:
** The Power Armor Shop (Ferland Sector) is available and fully upgraded.
** The Advanced Handloading Services are available at the Ellen Sector factory.
** The Powder & Primer Shop is available at the Littleton factory.
* Renown and Reputation are disabled, to allow GMs more flexibility.
** It is recommended to replace any rewards in Renown/Rep with money, where applicable and where it would make sense. (e.g. Vigilante work)

'''Version 6.3.7''' - The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 7: Underbarrel weapons and Crude weapons
= January 17th 2019 ='''Version 5.1''' - KISS Update 12 new weapons added to the game (Keep It Simple2 firearms, Stupid!10 melee weapons), bringing the total to 865.
This update aims at simplifying several game mechanics deemed too granular or generally not fun enough.* Firearms:** [[List of underbarrel shotguns|Underbarrel shotguns]]:*** [[Lockhart UBS-12]]*** [[Ten-X Tactical TX-12 STW]]* Melee weapons:** [[Class 5 Long weapons]]:*** [[Guitar]]*** [[Mop]]*** [[Signboard]]*** [[Skull staff]]*** [[Ted]]** [[Class 5 Short weapons]]:*** [[Crysknife]]*** [[Dart]]*** [[Ibuki Gourd]]*** [[Ice pick]]*** [[Worm tooth]]
== Simplified nutrition and hydration ==New [[crafting]] items:* Nutrition and hydration no longer decay at a rate of 1 per turn. Instead[[Blueprints]]: Skull blueprint, these stats are slashed by a set amount at a fixed rate and frequency, to symbolize meeting daily recommended needs; these are called the '''Nutrition Reset''' and '''Hydration Reset''', respectively.Fremen blueprint** Nutrition is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Nutrition by an amount equivalent to (meat worth x 30). For a human, that amount is 2100 ntri. ** Hydration is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Hydration by an amount equivalent to (meat worth x 10). For a human, that amount is 700 wtr.* Nutrition and hydration each have new value ranges and corresponding effects; they are generally simpler and more clear-cut effects.** Nutrition going too high will increase minimum Fatigue, and eventually reduce Agility.** Nutrition going too low will decrease Strength, and eventually disable the ability to heal Pain, Blood or Limb Damage (due to the body not having the "fuel" to do so).** Hydration going too low will decrease Strength, then Accuracy, then cause Hallucinations, until eventually causing death.[[Crafting items#Ingredient items|Ingredient items]]: Preserved skull
== Simplified fatigue ==
* Fatigue no longer gradually increases every turn (what was called "natural fatigue"). Effects that can increase Fatigue bit by bit every turn still do exist.
* The "Energized" tier is deleted.
* Reaching an amount of Fatigue equal to 2x Endurance will result in death.
* All effects of high fatigue now decrease Agility, and eventually decrease accuracy and cause Hallucinations.
=Prior versions = Simplified clothing and armor ==* Clothing and armor can no longer sustain damage, period. The only exceptions are:** Trauma plates - which still continue to work as they normally do** Powered armor - which require a condition meter to determine protection level. When wearing power armor, damage calculation is greatly simplified - 1 limb damage sustained = 1 armor condition lost.* Cutting clothes into rags (as long as they have the RagOK tag) now always succeeds and results in obtaining 1d4 Rags (at least 1 is now guaranteed). Multipliers (0.5x or 2x) affect the result of that 1d4, and it is always rounded up.
== Simplified weapon maintenance ==* The Reliability[[Changelog/Max Cleanliness stat is scrapped2021]]: All 2021 updates.* Durability is renamed Max Condition, and all firearms' Max Condition values have been rewritten.* Critical failures have been completely revamped and simplified. Condition is now meant to be lost on a critical failure, and for each 2 rolled, the new command '''@critfail''' must be used.** @critfail contains 80 possible effects, half of which are simple condition loss effects (ranging from 100 to 2000). The other half are condition loss effects (ranging from 50 to 1000) with a weapon failure (failure to fire, eject, etc.) effect on top. If the relevant weapon is a melee weapon or does not have a corresponding weapon failure type, the condition loss effect is doubled instead. Changes to handloading:* Load level (hotness) of ammunition affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. -P[[Changelog/Cold2020]]: Condition loss x0.5. +P/Hot: Condition loss x2. +P+/Super: Condition loss x4All 2020 updates.* Powder quality of ammunition also affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. Surplus: Condition loss x3. Premium: Condition loss x0.5.* These effects may stack. Round up any results.* If shooting ammunition of mixed hotness or powder quality in the same turn (''not recommended!''), the hottest and dirtiest ammunition fired that turn is used as a reference for ''all'' rounds fired that turn. Changes to weapon accessories:* Since Cleanliness no longer exists, silencers no longer apply a malus on the equipped firearm. Changes to crafting:* Gun Cleaning Kits: They are now used to restore a firearm's Condition, as long as it's 60% or higher. Gun Repair Kits can still be used at any Condition percentage. Changes to Maze Customs:* Improved barrels now have different effects.** 4150CS barrel: Max Condition x1.25.** 4150CS + Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating: Max Condition x1.5** 4150CS + Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN) coating: Max Condition x2** 4150CS + NP3 coating: Max Condition x1.25, Condition loss on critical failure x0.5** Rechambering a firearm with an improved barrel no longer causes the improved barrel to be replaced by a normal one (forcing the user to re-purchase the barrel improvements again). Making engineers slightly less evil!...** Maze Customs now also offers the possibility to return to a non-improved, stock barrel, for 100 P$. == Extras ==* New command: '''@asktsuchi'''. Ask a yes[[Changelog/no question and use that command. Results may vary. = November 27th 2018 ='''Version 5 update''' - The Finished State update == Quests ==* '''Story Arc #32019]]: The Human-Youkai War''' released! Features 33 quests, 1 sidequest, and 1 emergency quest.* '''Endgame content''' now available! The Contestant story may now come to an end as soon as all four Amulets are gathered == Content ==Abilities:* Several special abilities were renamed to '''techniques''', due to their similarity with martial arts techniques. Techniques are actions that can be performed instead of a regular combat action, and which, if the prerequisites are met, may allow their users to perform special moves that wouldn't otherwise be possible.* Introduction of several new combat techniques:** Techniques that are learned upon reaching '''Expert skill level''' with a corresponding combat skill:*** Firearm techniques: Failure Drill (DA revolver, Semi-auto pistol/rifle/shotgun), Fanning (SA revolver), Mad Minute (Bolt-action), Recoil Control Stance (Automatic pistol/rifle/shotgun), Rifleman Trick (Lever-action), Zero's Trick (Pump-action)*** Melee techniques: Any-Bash (One- and Two-handed clubs), Any-throw (Thrown weapons), Backlash (Whip/Lash weapons), Desperate Smash (Crude weapons), Double Cleave (Axes, One- and Two-handed swords), Stabbing Rush (Knives)** Techniques that can be '''purchased''': Lightning Reload (available for 3000 P$ at any shooting range) Maze Customs:* Customs:Minor - 1 new tactical conversion ('''Pecheneg Zenit'''), 4 new minor barrel configurations ('''SCAR-H STD, SCAR-L STD, SCAR-L LB, SG551-LB''') Startgame:* '''Tsuchinoko''' update: Rarity is finally weaved into the drop rates for the weapon commands (@wpn @wpnc1 @wpnc2 @wpnc3 @wpnc4 @wpnc5L @wpnc5S @wpncHG). The original commands (with equal chances for each weapon) have been given the '''-e''' suffix (@wpn-e, @wpnc1-e, etc...); '''e''' stands for "'''equivalent'''" (in the sense that each weapon has the same chance to be rolled as any other).** Four new '''Tsuchinoko''' commands, '''@wpn-firearm''', '''@wpn-melee''', '''@wpn-firearm-e''' and '''@wpn-melee-e'''. The first two respectively roll only firearms (Classes 1-4) and melee weapons (Classes 5L, 5S, HG), and the last two are the equivalent chances versions of the first two.* Kitsune and alligator halflings are now playable (discontinuation of the RePoints system)* Equipment points to allocate have been increased from 5 to 10.* Unspent equipment points are now worth 200 P$ each instead of 150 P$, and are now paid entirely in copper coins.* Starting weapons are no longer dependent on the combat skills selected at the start. All of the packages are now available, and extra packages now only cost 2 equipment points instead of 32019 updates.* Difficulty modes are no longer tied to RePoints. The starting amount of lives (HardOlder updates: 1, Easy: 3, Messiah: Infinite) is fixed. == Meta ==* GM side changes: Planned migration away from Excel and fully towards Google Docs - from now on GMs and players should be using the same files; any changes and updates should be done through direct edition of the player's GDocs sheet. Any information that is hidden from the player should be kept on a separate, GM-only file (preferably also on GDocs) which lists only the hidden information and nothing else.* Migration to the new wiki will begin shortly after the release of this update.* The RePoints system is discontinued (please check the corresponding Patreon post for more information). = Prior versions =You can find all of the previous updates up to version 5 on the [http://old.mazeworld.net/wiki/Guide:Changelog old wiki's changelog].
