I was actually planning on making this a larger update, but I realized there were some potentially annoying bugs in .28 that I had to fix so it's a bit earlier and less feature-rich than planned.
The big change is I updated the Ring arena - and renamed it to Radius (because that sounds more like a name a dance club would have). A preview video is below.
Any time I updated an arena layout, I need to make it a 'major' update meaning it's not compatible with previous versions. So for a few days you may not see as many people visible until everyone updates.
Also in this update:
- Fixed 'Charge to 100%' tutorial message never disappearing
- Fixed capture point particles not running on level load
- Spawn protection shield now lasts longer for lower-level players
- Improved volumetric light appearance
- Added new programmable laser lights for coordinating light displays (you can see in Radius that the laser lights move in specific patterns, turn on & off in a coordinated manner). I'll be making many more updates to the lighting systems in each of the levels later on.
