Hi Slappers!

As summer is fast approaching, we're excited to announce the Slapshot Heatwave event, sponsored by f'real!
The event will take place during the months of June and July, here's what's happening:

- Players in the US will see f'real, the sponsor of this event, on the ice, in their locker room and during replays
- Everyone that uses the code F'REAL in the in-game shop during the event will receive a free exclusive Milkshake Hat cosmetic
- During the event, in-game currency gained is increased by 50% and stacks with other boosts such as premium
- We'll be running Heatwave tournaments in July, through SPL in North America (300 USD), OSL in Oceania (200 AUD) and Team Serene in Europe (300 EUR).
- Frequent giveaways will be held all throughout the event in our Discord for in-game items and currency

As with other in-game sponsors in the past, we will ensure that gameplay is not obstructed and adds value to the arenas.
We're super excited for this event and hope you enjoy it!



Happy slapping!

Hey Slappers,

We've created a more comprehensible roadmap on where we are and what's left to do to release ranked.

There's a lot more completed things that influence ranked but listing them all would be a waste of space so I've opted to list the 3 most important ones. We're happy to listen to your feedback on the ones that are in researching or if you'd like to see something different for the features that are in progress/planned.

Thank you for your trust and expressing your wishes. We couldn't do this without you.

ːreboundː

[h2]NEW[/h2]
- The lobby owner in custom games can now kick players and move them to a team/spectators
- Added a sensitivity slider for controller, with default being what it was before the update (maximum)
- Added more of the new spectators, with a new setting so you can choose the density (how many you want)
-- The spectators on/off setting has been reset to migrate to the new density setting

[h2]Cosmetics[/h2]
- Added a fish bowl head cosmetic, a unibrow, twig, oil splat

[h2]Fixes[/h2]
- Fixed the tutorial not completely working when not connected to the Slapshot Services
- Fixed the 'anyone there' achievement queue time counter
- Fixed the 'lead by example' achievement, if you are muted it now properly resets your progress
- Fixed UI sizes for people with wider screens, the scaling now follows a screen's height rather than width
- Fixed several game crashes related to IL2CPP and some third party libraries

[h2]Other[/h2]
- As mentioned, we've dropped Nolt in favor of a channel in Discord. This is now reflected in links in the game as well.
- The clubs system for esports broadcasters now supports a "key", which can be used to have multiple settings for the same team and still using the same acronyms.
-- "key" would replace acronym in how you select the clubs through the command
-- If no key is present, it uses the acronym as a fallback so configs made before this are backwards compatible
- Prepared the game for an event starting June 1st. Stay tuned for that announcement!

Have fun!

Smol update! We quadrupled the amount of achievements in the game based on your suggestions 😄

Also fixed achievement progress that counted in places it shouldn't and fixed quick chat activating while typing in chat

These aren't too difficult to get but we wanted a better baseline of achievements before getting to the more difficult ones 🏒

[h2]We finally fixed that one puck physics bug[/h2]
It no longer goes on its side for prolonged periods of time like it has a mind of its own.
Fixing this bug has probably taken at least 3 years off my life expectancy.

[h2]Club override for livestreamers[/h2]
Since we broke mods with the last update, I've decided to implement the functionality of a mod that was vital to esports livestreams. You can now use the 'clubs' command in the developer console (tilde) to change the color, name, logo and goal horns of different clubs. These can be customised in the game's data folder -> Slapshot_Data -> StreamableAssets -> clubs.json

The in-game scorebug will now automatically pick a contrasting color for the team name and score colors so they are visible at all times for each team independently.

[h2]API improvement[/h2]
Added a region filter and more specifics to the matchmaking / queue information to the API. More details are in the documentation. Want access? Create a ticket in the #help channel in our Discord.

[h2]Cosmetics[/h2]
- Added a dark version of the Nana cosmetic
- Added 3 different motorcycle helmets (one will be a patreon exclusive)

[h2]Fixes[/h2]
- That puck thing lol
- Brightened the outdoor night map a bit
- Fixed the in-game scoreboard being squished or stretched for resolutions other than 1080p
- Fixed leaving custom games giving a matchmaking penalty
- Fixed the Discord jersey promo slider not showing up
- Fixed spotlight in slap stadium not working after a goal was scored
- Fixed the roof color of Slapville for spectators
- Fixed the flame stick's highlights through geometry intersecting with itself
