Hey everyone!
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to those to celebrate!
Dave here.
It's been a few months since we've posted patch notes, but we are still updating the Test branch regularly.
If you're on or switch to the Test branch, you'll get the latest versions as we send them out.
A visual guide on how to do that here:
I've personally fallen behind on parsing our patch notes together from our Git commits.
(Most of us work other jobs as well as work on this game)
But the team and I have been making really good progress!
The great news -- Offline is almost ready to send to main branch!
In the new year, we'll be rolling out new updates to Test as well as to main.
We're really, really excited for more people to play the 2022--and soon to be 2023--builds of the game.
It includes all kinds of fun improvements to the core gameplay, and some refinements.
We just wanted to cap off the year by saying thank you to everyone who's played our game!
Seeing your faces light up when we put a controller in your hand has meant the world to us,
And we're very, very excited for next year, where a lot of the background work we've been doing will come into more fruition.
In terms of rollout we'll be rolling out new features in phases, similar to our roadmap plans:
- Offline Build from Test branch goes out to Main branch //This is very close to being playable. It's pretty fun to play 2v2 offline right now, and things are mostly bug-free.
- Online Soft-Launch //Online feels pretty good to play. That said, we'll want to slowly roll this out, stress-testing larger teams and groups, and make sure we give people a great experience.
- Store/Cosmetics Soft-Launch //Core architecture is there, some small customization & character creation is available on the Test Branch right now. We'll be filling inventory with models, textures, clubs and hats in the future.
