I'm excited to bring you this major update that aims to elevate the gameplay experience to new heights:
In pursuit of this goal, an entirely revamped physics will redefine the dynamics of in-game combat.
The robots now possess a heightened sense of weight, exhibit increased inertia, and every animation has been reimagined to ensure a fluid experience.
The AI has undergone a substantial upgrade, powered by a growing performant array of contextual behaviors, ready to challenge any human who dare.
Additionally, the improved weapon mechanics make maneuvering them feel more natural, enhancing the overall fight.
With this update, we're propelling this game into its next evolutionary phase. Welcome to uncharted gameplay territory !
Details :

New physics. Robots are heavier, with more inertia. Gravity is also less strong. No more "fast forward" feeling when moving. Players now have more time to think their moves.
New procedural animations for the new physics. A set of more rich and natural animations adapted for this new scene.
Most weapons animations were also redesigned. It's now easier to manipulate chained weapons like lash and flails, boosting the probability of striking the opponent.
It is also easier to throw weapons, now that players have a clearer view of the movements.
The sword and laser-sword got increased damages. The laser-cutter now pushes the opponent back with more force.
Weapons come more directly when attracted, all at equal speed, they orbit less, and are easier to grab. The "attractor" statistic plays a more visible role about pulling force during a duel.
The AI has been updated to a more performant version. It is now capable of aiming both upward and downward with guns, and can crawl on the ground without legs, even with just one arm.
The over-heat now drain stamina no more than 50%, leaving you the possibility to move.
The invisible walls of the practice scene has been removed.
The Meta world now teleport you when you fall out of ring, replacing instant death.
More balanced slo-motion timing, enhancing the ones for break or death.
Demo time reset.

Fixed mouse cursor not showing when game paused. (in case you may need it).
Shortened some delay for weapons release when arm broken/dead.
Fixed weapons attraction fx running when game paused.
Fixed health and stamina ui bar animating when paused.
Fixed woosh sounds always playing when player just moving with arm extended but not attacking.
Init crouch to false when spawn.
Set crouch to false when landing after each jumps.
Overheat ui bar go red to signal overheat.
Removed laser grid pre-damage collision when loading up in air. (was setup for AIs to feel danger few seconds before, but it was cutting weapons chains at spawning. Now no more damage and AIs can still feel danger coming.)
Added more damages particles when out of ring damage.
Fixed laser sword air trail fx not showing enough.
Changed order of calculation for interpolating moves. (this should gives -slightly- better animations mixing.)
Slightly smoother camera.

[.3.7] Patches and Features
Stamina recover after 0.2s instead of .5s. Overheat faster full cool-down from 2 sec to 1 sec. Stamina drive forces now with a power curve instead of linear. 0.5 stamina is equivalent to 0.25 forces, while 1 stamina is still 1 force. (it was hard to see a forces difference betwee
Stamina recover after 0.2s instead of .5s.
Overheat faster full cool-down from 2 sec to 1 sec.
Stamina drive forces now with a power curve instead of linear. 0.5 stamina is equivalent to 0.25 forces, while 1 stamina is still 1 force. (it was hard to see a forces difference between 1 and 0.5 stamina in most cases because max forces are very high to handle all rapid moves, and halving it was not visually enough).
Added real time correction for position and rotation of some body's parts. this reduce jerking and stabilize animations.
Added more transition when moving, also reducing jerking.
Review of some moves. now it's easier to throw weapon because throw moves cover more distance.
Fixed overheat where cool-down was applied during heating.
Legs now do longer steps when sprinting.
Legs take a better stable position at rest.
Wider legs and arms colliders. (will reduce bodies interlacing and miss hits).
Added some in-air flexes.
Review fx when attracting weapons.
Balanced more sound volume globally.
Reduced saw trap spinning duration (to reduce loud saw sound total duration).
Elevated min height of camera in arena.
Clarify UI match making selection of human/ai.
Allow player selection in matchmaking with d-pad or A/B buttons.
Bigger text for stats when editing robots parts.
Left stick can now select robots parts when editing.
Better runtime memory management.
Added gamepad vibrations.
