Hi everyone, it's been in development quite a while but we have an exciting new update today. The main addition are 3D tables and bars with a first person camera. You can still play using the classic overhead view and easily hop between these two modes. We've made quite a lot of other improvements too.
- 3D pool and snooker tables and bars with first-person camera view
- 2D/3D view switch button (shortcut key - spacebar)
- Improved pool ball release animation
- Enhanced ballset selection menus
- Refinements to pool and snooker potted-ball overlays
- Improved table decals and texturing
- Enhanced membership cards
- Minor corrections to Italian and Spanish text
- Added support for DirectInput game controllers with Windows 7
- Improved support for Steam game controllers
- Improved touchscreen functionality
- Smoother cue tracking
- Option to change cue line length (dynamics menu)
- Chalk cue feature moved to the control panel
- Further refinements to ball physics
- Re-rendered table pockets
- 2 new menu and bar colour schemes
- In-game smoke effect for 3D view (display settings menu)
- Camera change option for replays
- Re-adjusted ball sizes
- Default view option (display settings menu)
- Default venue option (match settings menu)
- In-game task bar resized
- Improved mouse tracking in Windowed mode
- Improved multiplayer connectivity
- F1 key shortcut for online chat
- Escape key shortcut for in-game menu
- Number of frames won now displayed on-screen
- Match info screen now shows game type and total number of frames
- Various bug fixes, refinements and optimisations
Please note, due to the changes the data format has altered and so saved shots and high scores will need to be reset. Apologies for this but it was unavoidable. However, your saved game progress should be intact (unlocked trophies, bars, opponents and membership cards).
Also note that the default ball size has been made slightly smaller to work better with the 3D tables. However you can still select a larger ball size if you prefer, as well as a smaller size too.
Many thanks for your continued support, we hope you like the changes and as always welcome your feedback. :)
