HAPPY NEW YEAR, gang. Yeah, it's February already, but we've been busy adding tons of new content to the game. It's another monster update, here's the rundown:
- NEW ARENA - Man, Mr. Wrestling 5 (our lead artist/animator) has done a bang-up job with the new arena. Lots of shiny new goodness, and plenty of platforms and things to climb on. Climbing works just like the cage - go to a wall or anything that looks like you can climb, and hit the right shoulder button (RB on XBox controllers) to start climbing. There's quite a few places - some very high - to get to, and yep - you can toss people off and even take a dive yourself. SUPER IMPORTANT: Right now, the climbing and such only can be done in 1 v 1 Hardcore Matches. We're working on the other modes! Brace for the OW.
- Improved frame rates - Yes, we've always maintained that the FPS is a lie, but things are getting much better on that front.
- ROARING ELBOW - It's pretty much mandatory, that phrase always has to be in all caps. Looks sweeeeeeeeet.
- Along with the ROARING ELBOW, there's a spinning kick, a "rifle" taunt that old-school fans of Pro Wrestling X might recognize, and something Robert calls a Death Shake. (Doesn't that sound like something you'd get at an evil McDonald's on Halloween?)
- (That's comedy gold, right there. It's really just a tribute to Dr. Death Steve Williams.)
- Reworked the crowd sprites, there's a few easter eggs sprinkled about.
- CAW movelist - You can now customize the movesets for the wrestlers. Not super deep yet, but we're sloooooooowly getting there.
- Improved animation syncing, so things should feel even smoother now.
- Dumping the version numbers - Version numbers are dumb, and 1.0 means a million different things to people, so we're just going to ditch them to avoid confusion. Sorry to everyone who was hoping to see version 0.999999999999.
- Lots of glitch and various bug fixes, including - we hope - fixing the elusive "can't climb" bug. Have fun, gang.....
