Alternate Jerseys Release

Hey Legend Bowlers!

This update came from one of our Discord users who suggested making alternate jerseys for teams. We always wanted this in the game, but the work was always too much to prioritize because it touches hundreds of files across the game's code.

Well fast forward and somehow we said let's do it and put our heads down and grinded through the task. This may not seem like a monumental task, but the game's core was never meant to handle more than 2 uniforms types. Not only that, but the Team Editor screen also needed updating to accommodate this new uniform type.

Lastly, converting current user data in the form of custom rosters, season and tournament files needed to be done in order to preserve people's hard work. When you first download this update any custom rosters will be loaded with these new alternate uniforms by copying your away uniform to your newly slotted alternate uniform. From there, you can customize this new slot to your liking!

The default teams now have brand new alternate uniforms as part of this update as well. So get ready to see every team in a whole new light! There are more updates and fixes in this patch if you want to keep readying below, but we are super excited about this new uniform update and can't wait to see what our community can create!

Again, please continue to report any bugs on our Discord channel if you want to help! Thank you for your support, and for playing Legend Bowl!!

[h3]Patch Version 1.0.1.1[/h3]

Small Update

Some small updates and fixes from the previous patch release. Enjoy!

Custom team photo league logos center better now to accommodate various logo sizes.
Splash screen player jersey colors no longer show default palette for first few guys.
Player footprints option added to Graphics settings for those who wish to turn them off.
New field template with numbers and lines added to set of files in the data\custom\logos\templates folder. This can be used to easily create your very own custom fields with numbers and lines matching what the game uses by default.
Defender pushing doesn't always force the player to dive the opposite direction any longer. Happens 50% of the time now.

Say Cheese!

Ever wonder how your team looks in a proper team photo? Well look no further! We now have a fun way to look at any team in a group picture with their head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator at their sides.

There's also a time delay where the buttons on the bottom won't appear for a few seconds to give you time to take a screenshot to share with your friends! You can show off your team creations in one easy step now. How cool is that?

This update also includes the ability to mod (externally) the fields to your liking. Our community found a way to modify fields and we wanted to grant them more power to make some beautifully looking fields to share with the community. We can't wait to see what they come up with!

Watch this tutorial video on how to mod fields if you're interested in this new feature!

Night Owl

Are you tired of playing night games in the dark where you can't see much of the field? Well fear not! We've totally revamped the night lighting engine to showcase our game during night games!

We've also updated the season schedule to include Thursday, Sunday, and Monday night games automatically throughout the season. The first game of each week will be treated as the Thursday night game and the last two games will be Sunday and Monday night games.

We think this was a cool addition to the game and wanted to get it out to you as soon as possible. We hope you like playing night games and can't wait to see streams and videos showing off this new lighting.
