Hi all, this update introduces some much needed user experience changes and a few bugfixes.

* Introducing a new main menu layout!
* Party and private games are now two separate interfaces
* You can now see your level and character’s face in the main menu
* The UI is now in ‘dark mode’ to fit the new background
* Fixed a bug where the halloween items would be duplicated
* Added a “Mercy Rule”, If a public game has a difference of 7 or more goals, the game will end.

It is Halloween, a time where scary things happen.
One of those things is Slapshot rising from the dead!

Rumour has it that there is much more in store for the slappy pass owners soon, don't miss out!

Hey everyone, I've been incredibly busy with life the past few weeks. We're working on a few time-consuming tasks for the game, but here are a few bug fixes:

## New Features

* Fake board ads - We can always expand on these, the 5 you see now are tributes to some of our most active testers and contributors in Beta.

## Bug Fixes

* Controller stick doesn't invert when camera is reversed
* Controller deadzone occurs when one axis is out of deadzone
* Arena selector not working in private games
* Puck/stick highlight broken in reverse cam mode

## Upcoming work/In-progress
* Physics optimizations - This is blocked on making stick movement feel smooth during networked play
* Training modes - I spent this past weekend laying the groundwork for training modes and minigames for single player.
* Balucha and Erveon are redesigning the main menu and other UI to give the game a better flow

## New Features

* Stick customization
* Reverse camera view

## Bug Fixes

* Stick clips through the player body
* Items not being awarded sometimes (will now retroactively award)

## Upcoming work/In-progress
* I'm working on a physics optimization that should make the client smoother, servers more efficient, and fix things like the puck tunneling through the stick and pinches. Fingers crossed!
