Rise & Fall News

Hey everyone!

Another update with some new features and some quality of life improvements.

Improvements:
-Returning Home from any match takes you to the Map Select screen! (Instead of back all the way to the beginning)
//It's now just a little bit quicker to jump out of a match, make a few changes, and jump back in!
-the Controls Graphic (in How to Play and on the Pause Menu) now include the button prompts for Grab and Glide!
//A revamped version of this system will come out some time in the future. Eventually, you'll have control re-mapping, and button prompts will adjust depending on your controller.

-Quality Settings have been added as an option in the Settings.
Chose between:
-Very Low
-Low
-Medium
-High
-Very High
-Ultra

//These are just the beginning of the Settings menu. We'll be expanding with the expected Framerate, V-Sync, and more granular quality settings as we go.

Fixes:
-Fixed instances where Scoreboard could show up on LoadingScreen.

Known Issues:

-Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected
Navigating down on controller from the tab buttons isn't moving the controller selection down like it should, forcing you to use a mouse.
//Will implement soon.

-Bunker Arms in Coliseum are acting up again
//Will fix in next patch
^^ Fixed. Restart Steam to get the update.

-Pause Menu doesn't seem to be freezing time in Coliseum either
//I'm pretty sure this is just a setting I need to revert back based on the Game Speed Slider I'm building.

Demo Specific Changes
-Removed 'Demo Version' text from top-right of screen.
//It was meant to be an easy way to differentiate versions, but it's annoying to see during gameplay.

Hey everyone!

A couple CPU Goalie fixes and Character Select improvements thanks to Kosam.

Improvements:
-Character Select Settings now save between matches
No more need to re-set up your match when returning home anymore!
Your previous settings carry over now!

Fixes:
-Goalies will spam Ball Lifts and Freezes far less often, and more in line with when they actually should.
-Applied some logic fixes that will keep goalies from leaving their nets as often as they were.


Known Issues:
MusicPlayer:
-After looking into this, the player is technically doing what it's supposed to (ei. it's not a BUG, but something that needs a layer of design to make it FEEL like it works the way you'd expect).
//The player is correctly playing a random song from the list of songs.
//The FFWD button does skip forward in the list, which it technically, should do.
//So my proposed change is to have a shuffle button that can be turned on and off, and If the shuffle is on, the FFWD would also shuffle the songs on press (or use a unique ordering).
-The shuffling still FEELS like it plays familiar songs too often, so my proposed fix is to add some logic of remembering what has been played, and weight playing songs that haven't been played in a while higher than songs that were previously played.

-Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected
Navigating down on controller from the tab buttons isn't moving the controller selection down like it should, forcing you to use a mouse.
//I know the fix for this, just haven't been able to touch much code this week due to a cold.

Hey everyone!

We've added some new music tracks in the Menu and in Gameplay!

There's 7 new gameplay tracks,

As well as 7 new menu tracks.

Making 14 new songs in total.

We felt the game was missing a bit of that emo/90's rock sound you hear in typical sports games.

This should also give the sound track a little more variety when playing or sitting in menus.

Jump into a game and see for yourself.

--

Also, the Wins Tracker after a match has been given a little bit of polish.

You'll now see the logo of the team beside the wins count.



Known Issues:
MusicPlayer:
-MusicPlayer isn't always shuffling playlists after the 1st song in the list (which we believe IS correctly shuffling).

(These bugs have been fixed, and are rolling out in another patch)
-Goalies are leaving their net far too often in some games.
-Goalies are spamming their charged swing too often in some games.
-Goalie's movement can be twitchy at times.
-CPU Players at higher levels are spamming ball lifts and freezes more than they should

-Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected

Hey everyone!

Getting our new environment assets into the new maps has been more trouble than we expected.

I've got a few solutions, but they'll take a couple days to iron out.

So in the mean time, here's the original 2019 1v1 Classic map, back in-game again!

Free for all players!

Changes:
-Re-added original 2019 1v1 Classic Map to Map Select
-Updated textures, outlines, and lighting
-Works with block goalies, CPU goalies, and supports up to 8 players (if you're insane enough).

To Do:
-Stage changes will come back to the classic map in a later update!
//The fans need to use a new physics system, and I wanted to separate them out from the update so I could tackle them separately.

Demo Version:
-Includes 1v1 Classic map.

Known Issues:
-Goalies are leaving their net far too often in some games.
-Goalies are spamming their charged swing too often in some games.
-Goalie's movement can be twitchy at times.

-Textures in Coliseum are appearing stretched wrong in Coliseum
-Some geometry won't load in the stands in Coliseum

-CPU Players at higher levels are spamming ball lifts and freezes more than they should

-Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected

//These are all being worked on, and should come later this week, or next!
