These can be applied at runtime in all sorts of different ways. [/p][p]Think - getting exhausted after being hit a certain amount of times (stamina system), gaining momentum after holding the ball in an opponent's zone for a period of time, weather effects (heat, cold, frozen, burning, with characters from different regions having an affinity against certain effects)[/p][p] [/p][h3]Tournament Mode[/h3][p]-Tools are being built, framework is getting set up. [/p][p]-In order for tournaments to feel like tournaments, we need to add more character variety and build more teams into the game (from different regions).[/p][p][/p][h3]Season Mode[/h3][p]-Build a team and progress through the season, winning games, making the playoffs, and winning the championship.[/p][p][/p][h3]Single Player Adventure[/h3][p]-A platformer-based single player mode that expands from what we built in the tutorial level.[/p][p]-Progress through an actual campaign of challenges and levels that teach you and test your knowledge of the controls and the environment.[/p][p][/p][h3]Account Progression[/h3][p]-A leveling system where you gain XP and unlock cosmetics and new ways to play as you level up and play the game[/p][p]-Still in early stages[/p][p][/p][h3]Achievements 2.0[/h3][p]-New achievements to reflect the new things to do in the game, as well as new challenges.[/p][p][/p]

Known Issues:

[p]-Balls aren't changing direction with Dash Panels the way they should. [/p][p]They're still adding force, but they're meant to force the ball to move in the direction of the Dash Panel.[/p][p]-Larger (4v4) and smaller (1v1) maps may not load Stage Hazards just right, will patch soon.[/p][p][/p]
