Hey everyone,

We're still working really hard on rebound, but haven't forgotten about the people that have to wait for it still.
There's a few much needed quality of life changes that Slapshot could do with, so I set aside some time to create just that.

Changes:
- Changed the menu colors to stand out more
- Added a dark ice mode (in the settings)
- Made connection errors more clear by adding the instruction to restart Steam
- Fixed bug where lower resolution screens couldn't save settings/controls (can now scroll)
- The tutorial is now mandatory for new players
- Configure highlight color for puck and stick (separately) in the settings
- Right click can now be used in keybindings such as reverse cam
- Extended face-off timer to 5 seconds to allow proper loading of the game
- Added a mercy rule setting for private games (not supported by the pug bot afaik)
- Competitive lobbies are now locked from starting games after the three periods are over
- Overtime now shows the time elapsed since overtime started instead of a countdown
- Overtime is now 'infinite' (capped to an hour instead of 5 minutes) for all games
- Fixed group chat where it didn't automatically scroll to new messages after a game
- End of a game or period is now announced in the group chat for clarity
- Changed the game's background image to a Rebound locker render
- Removed the roadmap for Slapshot 1 from the extras menu
- Fixed the link to the FAQ in the extras menu
- Added yellow dev tags to the developers on the in-game scoreboard
- Removed feet

Known bugs:
- Switching to/from dark ice in a game may not update the minimap correctly until next match
- Using right click for a bind will unlock your pointer until you restart the game

Note: Mac users will not receive this update, but can still play the game

Hi everyone,

This week, we are publicly releasing our birds-eye-view roadmap to an Early Access release.
It will feature the most important parts for us to complete before we can release to the public.

This is not a complete list, more things can and will be added to the list of things we want before then.

In the meantime, closed alpha testing has been going great and we're looking forward to releasing some gameplay :)
