Hi everyone,
Another update coming at ya!
Coming Soon
Weekly Update Focus
Starting this upcoming week, I would like to have a more specific focus for each weekly update. For example, focus a whole update on several new power-ups, or an update focused around improving a particular part of the game.
Next week's update will be focused on control improvements. This includes:
- Rebindable Course Creator controls (keyboard and mouse only).
- Ability to invert mouse camera movement,
- Change input prompts in the UI based on whether you are using a keyoboard + mouse or controller.
- Possibly add controller support for managing shared controllers, however this is somewhat dependent on the UI rewrite, detailed below.
UI Behind-the-Scenes Rewrite
Something I have started working on recently is a complete rewrite of our UI system. I decided to do this because, with the UI for the shared controllers in particular, I was seeing some major limitations of the current UI system that was making it difficult to work with. As a player, once the rewrite is complete you won't see much difference aside from some minor visual improvements, but it will bring many behind-the-scenes improvements to the UI.
Changelog - 2019.4.3
Features
- (Work in Progress) You can now add multiple players to the mouse and keyboard and player one's controller
- Currently this can only be done via the mouse, I will improve the UI and add controller support for this in a future update.
- Click the "Add Shared Controller" button in the lobby to add a player.
- Click on a player in the lobby to remove them (local players only).
- Black Hole no longer effects balls with the Weight power-up enabled.
- Moved the lobby chat window to the right side of the screen to be more consistent with the game chat.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed pipes not working correctly if the Exit Delay is 0.
- Fixed ball not being hidden in pipe while waiting to exit.
- Fixed course music not being correct if no music was selected for the course.
