TL;DR on what to expect:
- A whole new Cyberpuck themed arena
- The locker room will be teched out!

The arena, locker room and celebration cosmetic will be free for everyone. The cosmetics and titles pack will be released as a DLC on Steam.

[h2]Welcome... to The Arena![/h2]
(Imagine a really cool Cyberpunk themed soundtrack is playing)
Welcome to Cyberpuck, a distant future where robots are commonplace.
Only two things are certain in life anymore: Hockey and worshipping Goosan!

Hi Slappers!

v1.7.1 is a small update while we work on a larger update.

- Winter is over, we're back in the modern locker room!
- Added 5 new goal horns that will be voted on for Patreon next month
- Fixed minor performance issues with the penguin hat and baby bottle cosmetics
- Goosan asked us to add something to the game too. I'm not sure what it is.

Happy slapping!

Happy Thursday, Slappers!

[h2]NEW[/h2]
- Added a new periods_played stat to each player to help external developers and leagues with stat tracking

- Added sounds for hitting the rubber tires and poles on the pond
- Added a warning to the 'randomize loadout' button on the appearance menu to avoid accidental clicks

[h2]Improvements[/h2]

- Upgraded our server operating systems with all the latest performance improvements

Hi Slappers!

We've fixed an issue where you couldn't switch the camera preset on the main menu to change its settings and added a new keybind to reset your zoom for those that were using the camera switching to do that.

GLHF!
