The following fixes and improvements have been added to Sombrero:

Updated particle effects for most objects

Fixed letter spacing on some sprite fonts when at certain sizes
Small bug fixes and other minor tweaks

This update brings more performance improvements to make your Sombrero experience better as well as something special!
A new weapon power-up: The Thunderbuss
Launch multiple projectiles at your opponents that explode on contact.
Slow loading, slow moving, and not all that accurate, but who needs accuracy when you can make lots of things explode?
Improvements:

Collision optimization (again)
Tweaked platforms on Monasterio de los Muertos & Jones Hill Boneyard
Fixed a bug where sometimes projectiles could go through solid platforms
Added ability to change resolution in full screen & windowed mode
Improved performance when the Depth of Field shader is enabled
Re-added Film Grain shader
Added messaging during a Match so spectators can more easily follow what's going on
Further updates are in the works, including additional characters, weapon power-ups and stages. If there are features you’d like to see added to Sombrero, please feel free to note them below in the comments and we’ll look into adding them.
Happy trails!

The Sombrero Build 1.2.26 Winter Sale Update Is Live! New Arena!
The STEAM Winter Sale is here and to celebrate SOMBRERO's reduced price (until January 2nd) we are rolling out a new update that is GOOD, not at all BAD and definitely not UGLY. Check out the details below! NEW ARENA: Monasterio de los Muertos! Battle it out with other Players on
The STEAM Winter Sale is here and to celebrate SOMBRERO's reduced price (until January 2nd) we are rolling out a new update that is GOOD, not at all BAD and definitely not UGLY. Check out the details below!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/472690/
NEW ARENA: Monasterio de los Muertos!
Battle it out with other Players on this spooky, skull-shaped monastery. The bells cause all projectiles to ricochet, so be careful! If you have Neutral Ricochet turned on in the Match Customization screen, you can take yourself out!
Updates:

More optimization of collision code.
Applied lossless compression to all tile images to load them into memory faster. This slightly reduces arena load time on most PCs. Those running the game from an SSD will see the most improvement (obviously).
Changes:

Changed the spawn location of some Bases in Capture the Flag based on community feedback.
Respawn circle indicator now starts a little smaller.
Invincibility on respawn is slightly shorter.
Removed a platform from the Southern Ruins stage to open up the center more.
Fixes:

Fixed an issue with the Neutral Ricochet modifier not resetting to “Off” when resetting Match customization options.
Applied lossless compression to all tile images to load them into memory faster. This slightly reduces match join time on most PCs. Those running the game from an SSD will see the most improvement.

This update include a long list of changes, both large and small. Below is a list of some of the more obvious changes that PixelMetal has completed, along with some that affect behind-the-scenes functionality to ensure a quality gameplay experience.
New:

New Weapon Power-Up: The Thunderbuss.
Added Steam Achievements.
Added default controls for Steam Controller when in Big Picture Mode.
Steam names are now displayed in Online play when connected to Steam instead of character names. These names should appear on the Lobby screen and the in-game HUD during Online gameplay.
Added “Armed Respawn” Match customization option. Players won’t be able to fire their weapon until their invincibility has ended upon respawning.
“Unarmed” messaging will display if a Player tries to fire while invincible so they know why they’re, ahem, shooting blanks.
Added pulsing visual effect to Power-ups to help them stand out more.
Messaging on Player Join screen changed. Title bar now shows match type & stage, with secondary messaging moved to bottom in both Local & Online play.
Voting to start a Match from the Match Lobby screen added.
Added Tint parameter to background tile layers to provide more contrast with platform tile layer.
Added dust cloud particle effect when debris bounces.
Updates:
Camera takes a little bit longer before it starts zooming into/away from the Players.
Renderer now supports non-power of 2 sprites & textures. This should decrease VRAM usage.
Customize Gameplay menu reworked to organize and more clearly label customization options.
Optimized explosion & debris effects.
Changes:

Online play Region names on the Options screen are now more descriptive.
Rearranged Online play Regions to alphabetical order.
Message when disconnecting from the Room List changed to “Disconnecting…” from “Leaving Room…”.
“Grandpa’s TV” option changed to “Vignette” on the Options screen, and film grain shader has been removed (for now).
Online play Region is now set when connecting to the Name Server instead of waiting for a connection to a regional Master Server. This should speed up the connection process.
Players cannot back out of a Match from the Match Lobby if there is less than 5 seconds before a Match starts. Players can no longer back out of Quickplay while it’s searching for/creating a Match.
Match Countdown in Match Lobby increased to 15 seconds.
When in windowed mode, the window will attempt to lock to the correct aspect ratio (16:9)
Platform collisions changed from tile-based to object-based, decreasing necessary collision checks dramatically, which should improve performance across the board.
New animation for Pulse projectile to make it more visible.
New animation for Pistol projectile to make it more visible.
Online Players are now segmented based on their app version number to avoid compatibility errors.
Game no longer pauses/mutes when clicking outside of the game window when in Windowed mode.
Fixes:

Steam Link streaming should now work properly and not display a black screen in some areas of the GUI.
Updated Southern Ruins tileset to eliminate a few 1-pixel seams between some tiles.
Messaging for Weapons switching back to their default at the end of a round/match should no longer display.
One of the sprites related to explosions wasn’t appearing. Now it is.
Drop shadow on text will adjust to the correct size when switching between full screen and windowed.
“Continue” option no longer available on the Server Lobby screen if no Rooms are available.
Changed location of fall killbox in Clampett’s Hideaway to eliminate invisible platform issue.
Coming Next Week:

New Arena: Monasterio de los Muertos.
Give SOMBRERO a try over our free play weekend, and pick it up during our ongoing sale!
All planned updates, including new stages, weapon power-ups and characters, will be available to you as soon as they’re released, at no additional cost.
