Rise & Fall News

Hey everyone!

Another small update today.

Improvements:
-Added Block Goalie Speed Sliders to TeamSettings
-Both teams can set a speed for their block goalie between 1-3.
//Settings will be remembered when you return home.

Fixes:
-Fixed instances where the charged swing effect hung on for too long.

-Fixed glider position, now correctly faces forward again.
-Adjusted glider position to better fit with where they should be for all characters and sizes.
-Added outline to glider (although not super visible)
-Replaced glider texture with a more game appropriate one (the flames logo).
//Will make this so your glider pulls from your current team in the future
-Gave glider wood and cloth proper materials.

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.

Hey everyone!

A small update, with some other fixes queued for tomorrow.

Improvements:
-Added Frame Rate Setting in Settings menu.
-Added V-Sync Toggle in Settings menu.
//Both will save between play sessions.

Fixes:
-Player's bottom circle now is always overtop of chalk lines and paint on the ground.

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.

-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.

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

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
