[h2]New Menu UI[/h2]
The main menu UI has gotten a major overhaul! We’ve modernized the main menu in a way that we think you’ll absolutely love. Gone are the days of the dark, gloomy locker room. The new UI brings a few new features with it, including a server browser and global chat but more on that later. We also have some even more exciting features coming to the menu UI in the future. Here are some screenshots, but we highly suggest loading up Gridiron and taking a look around!


[h2]Refactored Gridiron Code[/h2]
The foundational code that Gridiron was built on has been refactored from Unreal Blueprints to C++. While you may not immediately notice the effects of the refactor, this has massive implications for the state of the game now and in the future. Gridiron’s code has been cleaned up and made more efficient, which will make fixing bugs and adding features faster and more seamless. This is a major step forward for the game and our vision of a polished Gridiron.

[h2]Server Browser[/h2]
We want our players to be able to play Gridiron however they want. To facilitate that process, we have added a server browser to Gridiron! Players can create lobbies with custom settings and open them up to the public. After you host a lobby for the gamemode of your choice you can then advertise it in the new Global Chat! Players searching for games in the server browser can also filter results by name and gamemode. It’s easier than ever to find players to play Gridiron with!

Added preliminary Anti-Cheat features to Gridiron. We will continue to expand the game's Anti-Cheat measures in the future. Players who try to cheat will receive a permanent ban from the game.

-Fixed an issue where disconnecting during a touchdown celebration would cause the game to freeze.

[h2]Touchdown Celebrations[/h2]

We’ve added Touchdown Celebrations to Gridiron! You can now celebrate your scores in style. Touchdown Celebrations will happen after a touchdown is scored. Players in the match can vote to end the celebration early.

4 celebrations are being introduced with this update:

1. The Career Ender
   
2. Dancin’
   
3. Hype Demon
   
4. Get Good
   

To celebrate the launch of Touchdown Celebrations, we are giving every player the Get Good Touchdown Celebration for free! You can equip Touchdown Celebrations in the locker room.

More celebrations will be added in the future so feel free to send any celebration suggestions you may have to us in our Discord server!
