Halloween is here! 👻

[h2]Halloween update![/h2]
This is a smaller patch because I took a little break this month but we've still got some fun stuff for you!
Just for logging in between now and the end of October, you'll unlock a free Halloween cosmetic "Skeleton mask".

We've also decorated the locker room to be more spooky 👻

[h2]Individual player muting[/h2]
- In the menu while in-game, a new button called "mute / unmute" will allow you to mute individual player's chat.
- When you have them muted, you won't see any of their chat (including quick chat). You can unmute them from the same menu.
- The scoreboard will show you a muted indicator on the very right.

[h2]Highlights rework[/h2]
We've tackled the highlight shader that takes care of the stick and puck highlights to be more consistent and not affect non-highlighted models.

- Before, there was a bit of transparency to the stick. This is fixed now.
- The gloves will now avoid the highlights (despite 'obstructing' the stick)
- Highlight colors are more accurate now. We've also changed the preset colors to make them look closer to what they did before (you may need to reselect yours!).

As a part of these improvements, we've also remastered a bunch of sticks: Fork, spatula, iridescent, oil, frost, zombie, Mjolnir, butcher, butter knife, bowie knife, scythe, camo, bone stick, sword

[h2]Matchmaking[/h2]
We've made the matchmaking a bit stricter on the extreme ends. This should make for more balanced matches. On Tuesday this was tuned a bit too extreme to the other end, a middle ground has been launched today that makes for a better balance between match quality and queue times.

[h2]Cosmetics[/h2]
- Added free Skeleton Face paint (log in during October to get it!)
- Added lightning stick, modern stick, zombie jersey, zombie head, balaclava, military jersey, jetpack
- Reworked the duck mouth (old version became a variant)

[h2]Other[/h2]
- Changed the API lobby limit to only count towards the limit if there's less than 2 players in a lobby
- Fixed an issue where item pictures would be influenced by the locker room lighting
- Fixed gloves not rendering in replay and spectator cameras (happened since 3 days ago)
- Fixed candy cane stick
- Fixed frost stick not applying the stick tape and base color cosmetics

Good luck, have fun!
