New Music Tracks! (Update #379)

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

Classic 1v1 Map Returns! (Update #377)

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!
