Announcing the pre-season beta

Hey sports fan!

Things have been quiet while Tipping Goat has been working on new features, updated art, tweaks and fixes for your favorite all-sports mashup. In addition to all this, a lot of older code has been reworked and will need testing and feedback as we get closer to the official Season Mode update.

To this end, a pre-season beta version of SSDT will be released on Steam that you can opt into. The pre-season beta will include:

* Updated arenas from Season mode: Play in the classic American football stadium, or change it up with the all new basket ball court, all new practice lot or head over to Canada for the new hockey arena.
* New spotlight celebration for the player who scores
* Live, in-game, per-player scoring stats right on the field
* The controller drives the mouse for easier controller configuration
* Many smaller bug fixes, art updates and more

The pre-season beta will be updated as more features get added, leading up to the Season Mode release. So stay tuned! Another announcement will be posted when the pre-season beta is ready in the next week or so.

Hey there, Sports Fan!

Rick here, with the latest update to Super Slam Dunk Touchdown. It's live right now! Let's get right to what's in the build:

  • More city and sports team names added to name generator

Post-PAX South update

Howdy, Sports Fan!

Rick here with a quick update on what's going on with SSDT. I am chipping away at my bug list, adding some minor features, and prepping for launch on a new platform!

I'll have details on the new platform launch soon, but until then, here's a sample of what Windows players can look forward to in the next update:

  • More advanced AI for higher CPU levels in Free-For-All
  • No more moon-walking players at the end of a round
  • Overtime is now either Sudden Death (default setting), or not Sudden Death (optional). No more hard-to-explain "that one overtime round where you can change characters then another X minutes before Sudden Death kicks in if the scores are still tied"
  • CPU players now dunk more reliably (scales with difficulty setting)
  • ¡Español! Well, the UI anyway! A fan generously helped out with the Spanish translation of many UI elements. There were some UI adjustments that had to be made to fit some of the text, and some text has to remain in English, at least for now. But hey, it broadens the appeal of the game a bit, and that's good!
  • Invisible, but important, Season Mode preparations


There will be more fixes as well, and I'll try to get a new achievement into the next update. But with all the fixes coming, I may not be able to wait. More soon!
