Rise & Fall News

Hey everyone!

Even though the team is off this week, I wanted to get the fix to knockback in since it affects gameplay pretty bad, and it's also just a small value adjustment I can do on my end.

Fixes:
-Reduced knockback from large size swings
We adjusted some math in a previous update that accidentally tuned this too strong.
In a future update, we'll be setting durations on the knockback, so we can reduce how long knockback occurs for (like we've done for Springs and Dash Pads)


Known Issues:
-The goal camera in Cliff is slightly off from where it should be
//I'm working on this now, it's become a more complicated issue than I thought.
//I'll be doing a fix but also looking at this logic (which is legacy and has pieces of code from 2019 still in it) to simplify the code flow.

-Slider for BlockGoalieSpeed should be inactive when the toggle for BlockGoalies is off.
//Is coming with next batch of UI fixes

-Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected
Navigating down on controller to sliders isn't moving the controller selection down like it should, forcing you to use a mouse.
//Coming with next batch of UI fixes

-Coliseum Cheese Walls are out of position
//Coming in next update

Demo Build:
-Also included in fixes

Hey everyone!


Improvements:
-Updated the Free Roam map.
It's now bigger, the tutorial section is improved, and there's lots more objects to interact with.
Not everything is hooked up and working just yet. I'll continue updating this as we go.
And of course, it's just a blockout, so the grid will get replaced with actual environment assets.


Known Issues:
-Free Roam currently plays Gameplay music, which is more fast-paced and action oriented.
A more chill, relaxed playlist will come soon when in Free Roam.

-Slider for BlockGoalieSpeed should be inactive when the toggle for BlockGoalies is off.
//Will probably come with a batch of UI updates

-Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected
Navigating down on controller to sliders isn't moving the controller selection down like it should, forcing you to use a mouse.
//Will implement soon. A couple other issues are getting tackled with this one, so we'll roll it out when we ship those.

-Coliseum Cheese Walls are out of position
//Will fix in next update


Demo Build:
-Includes free roam. No better way to get a feel for the controls than in an open environment.

Hey everyone!


Improvements:
-Added a brand new 'Free Roam' map.
Players can move freely outside the arena and play around with fans, springs, dash panels and more.
Includes a light (and very early) tutorial section that will be given some updates and fleshed out.

Fixes:
-Fixed goalie spamming swings sometimes.


Known Issues:
-Slider for BlockGoalieSpeed should be inactive when the toggle for BlockGoalies is off.
//Will probably come with a batch of UI updates

-Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected

-Total Playtime isn't always showing correctly for all players.
//Looking into this.

Hey everyone!

I liked the Camera Switcher so much I made it a feature.

Improvements:
-Players can now choose between the Classic camera, or use either the 'Up' or 'Down' camera.
-Up faces towards the Blue Goal
-Down faces towards the Red Goal

These work on every map, except for 1v1 Classic, since it uses a fixed camera that never moves.
Will implement a system for 1v1 Classic at some point.

I'll be expanding on this, plus adding a little bit of a logic change, this is just the first part.


Fixes:
-Fixed issues on Coliseum by making sure it uses same ArenaManager system as every other scene.
-Fixed CPU Goalies having twitchy movement at times

Known Issues:
-Slider for BlockGoalieSpeed should be inactive when the toggle for BlockGoalies is off.
//Still working on this. Had it working, but it messed with something else.

-Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected
Navigating down on controller to sliders isn't moving the controller selection down like it should, forcing you to use a mouse.
//Will implement soon. A couple other issues are getting tackled with this one, so we'll roll it out when we ship those.

-Pause Menu doesn't seem to be freezing time in Coliseum

-Total Playtime isn't always showing correctly for all players.
//Looking into this.

-Coliseum Cheese Walls are out of position
