Weekly Patch Notes #4

Made some big(and important) changes to the discs flight/release this week. This should address the complaints about discs not flying on the intended line, as they no longer get a vertical boost on release in relation to the flight plate. That caused steep hyzers for example to get pushed left(for a right handed character) on release, now they look WAY better and more of a sweeping flight.

It was also brought to my attention the third click wasn't registering properly, which was completely true and an oversight on my part. I rewrote the check so it is now pixel perfect, and changed the sound to make it more obvious when you hit the yellow "perfect" zone. If you hit the yellow, even if you are not exactly centered, there will be no hyzer/anhyzer penalty.

I also changed the punishment for a missed third click, before it would just penalize the hyzer angle left/right depending on the missed click, now that penalty is reduced but it also pushes the disc left/right. This feels way more natural and enables griplock anhyzers and slip out hyzers.

Lastly I added the first new character! Morigesh is a lefty, to balance the lefty/righty characters. Definitely the most evil of disc golfers. Now that there are four characters future characters will have to be unlocked in some way.

-Quickfix to change next/prev disc back to z/x as the E key doesnt work to change discs. except on the driving range for some reason. investigating now

-caused by the water. stopped working last year when I added the water and I just changed the keybind and moved on:sleepy: all good now

-New Character! Morigesh joins the fun. when she's not busy corrupting the souls of the innocents she unwinds with some disc golf. second lefty character, I think from here out additional characters will be unlockable instead of unloked by default
-Griplocks and Slipouts are now distinctly possible! Discs now push left/right on a missed third click in addition to hyzered/anhyzered. disc angle penalty has been reduced alon with this change
-lefties now have more hyzer on early third clicks and more anhyzer on late clicks, instead of the opposite way. same as righties

-Throw bar works now! before it was not correctly detecting third clicks in the yellow zone. Now if you click in the yellow you get a "perfect" hit, and the disc will fly on the angle you aimed at, no adjustment. Also changed the sound to make it more obvious
-discs no longer get a vertical boost(in relation to the flight plate) on release. Instead, they are just angled up 10-20 degrees straight vertically. this was the cause of throws not appearing to fly down the line you were aiming, which would have been worse on steep hyzers/anhyzers as they would get a boost left/right. The releases look a million times better
-also helps with short putts releasing low, will not have to aim as far above the basket
-made some big changes to disc flight, particularly glide. Disc flight in general will be less of a rainbow and more of a line drive.

Thanks!
