New Patch v0.1.2.5 Has Arrived!
*** Important *** If you're experiencing a crash after the update, then It's recommended to delete your local Legend Bowl directory (ex. "C:\\Users\\YOUR NAME HERE\\AppData\\Local\\legend-bowl\\data") *The AppData folder is normally hidden so you must "Show Hidden Files" to see it.
Hey everyone! We've been working non-stop fixing bugs and adding new stuff to the game based on all of your AWESOME feedback on our Discord and in the Steam Community Hub! We truly couldn't do this without the community! That's enough with the compliments... now let's get to the good stuff! ːsteamhappyː
This patch or "lightweight feature pack" (as we like to call it) has a lot of goodies and is something we think you'll enjoy! We've fixed quite a number of bugs, crashes, and issues reported by the community, along with included several NEW enhancements and tweaks we think you're going to really like!
Gameplay was tuned as well in this patch, so you should see some changes and we hope in a good way. Especially on the defensive side of the ball. The line now has better blocking and shedding with more movement to make it feel alive!
We've added two new moves to your ball carrier's arsenal as well! You can now juke and spin to dodge tacklers and try to gain some extra yards in your pursuit of a Touchdown! There's so much we've added, so we'll let you read each item for yourself!
As always, thanks for all of the bug reports and feedback. This new build is live now. We do have more bugs, tweaks and features we need to get to, so there will be more updates in the future!
