If you're wanting to go back to the last build for any reason,

We've enabled a branch called 'Legacy_2023' that will let you play the old one!


KNOWN ISSUES:

-Game will sometimes crash when more than 5 players play a match at a time.
-Goalies are being a little bit of ball hogs and trying to do everything themselves, often shooting back and forth a lot.
-Toggles for CPU Goalies and Block Goalies aren't always remembering their selection when returning home after a match
//The solution for this (for now) is to toggle those toggles on and off, and things will work correctly.

Thanks for playing!

New Update Out on Test Branch! (DevUpdate 63)

Hey everyone!

We have some new features out for testing on our Test branch!

In a few days or so, after we've given things a good look, we'll get it out to everyone on the main branch.

I'm keeping more detailed notes in our Discord, so let's chat there!

Patch Notes soon!

Development Update #62

Hey everyone!

Dave here.

I posted a Development Update video into the Discord a few weeks back.

Been meaning to also share it here!

Just a small walkthrough of some of the progress made on the game,

As well as some of our goals and where we're at on certain features.

I enjoy doing these, so I'll probably do more in the future.

Thanks!

Dave

Development Update #61

Hey everyone! Dave here,

We're finished a lot of our needed back end improvements and expecting to drop some updates in the next few weeks.

Our consistent feedback from showcases was that people enjoyed the core game and the balance and tuning,

What most asked for was more to do--aka more maps, more modes etc.

So we're looking to polish up our larger map (it had some legacy code we needed to patch up),

As well as shipping a new map along with some quality of life updates.

We do have a question for players:

What kind of things do you want to see in new maps or modes?

Are things like investing in a custom player with stats you can upgrade from playing interesting for you, or is 'party' mode (where player stats are the same across models) more than enough for you?

We're happy to hear your thoughts over in our Discord!

Come say hi!
