Hello, everyone! Today's patch is a big one! The game's second park, Serafin Pier, is now live on the main branch for all to experience! The pier is an atmospheric new location (screenshots below) full of new courts to challenge you and your friends. Speaking of friends, if you're running short on competition, you should join our growing discord where you can find more people to play with or compete in community tournaments!
Other patch notes include:
- Many physics improvements, most notable is that balls no longer roll farther while in contact with walls.
- Player voice audio no longer scales volume by distance. This will return in a future update as an option.
- Balls that land in the starting throw area will now return to your hand to be thrown again, so accidental drops will no longer penalize you.
- Botty has had his AI improved all around. He's a bit more accurate across all difficulties and he can handle most situations better than previously.
- The pallino marker radius indicator should no longer flicker between a team color and white and the scoreboard should be more in sync with it when teams are tied.
- Botty got a makeover in preparation for actual character avatars coming in the next major patch!
To commemorate the launch of Serafin Pier, Bocce Time will be 10% off for the next two weeks, so if you haven't picked the game up yet, now's the best time to jump in! With the new park live, I'll be turning my attention to character customization. Look forward to that in the next major update!
That's it for now, everyone! Until next time!
