Hello everyone!
It's finally time for a bigger content update! Update 10 brings a lot of changes to the Classic game mode, as well as a new map, new QoL features, bug fixes, and a lot more!
I've created an update overview video for Update 10! Future numbered updates will have update overview videos as well, even if they are much shorter.
Additions
New map: Brawlosseum! Brawlosseum is a Classic-mode map with its own stands and caster booth. Its smaller size allows tighter gameplay with smaller groups.
Classic mode overhaul: Classic has been reworked to be more engaging! Knocked-out players now respawn on the sidelines as spectators, aces are now announced in chat, and there is a new SVAR allowing you to cross into the opposing team's play area.
New music! Added two tracks by Alexandr Zhelanov as well as one original piece!
Added some BRAWLiday cheer to the Lobby and Dodgemall!
Added chat command system, preceeded by the ` key.
Added chat command: `endgame, which allows the host to end a game early.
Added some new decorations to Dodgemall, Backyard, and the lobby.
Added a new loading screen.
Changes & Fixes
Game start menu now shows and hides relevant settings for different modes.
Default lobby setting changed from Friends Only to Public.
The camera now follows your attacker when you get knocked out.
Fixed bug causing pickup objects to appear when unavailable.
Fixed bug causing "Host Advantage Mitigation" toggle to toggle Friendly Fire instead.
Fixed bug causing a round loss in Classic mode if one player was left and a knocked-out teammate left the server.
Fixed bug causing player ragdolls getting stuck in the center line and other barriers.
Removed Features
Removed the TestCourt and Pit maps due to incompatibilities with the Spectator feature of Classic. TestCourt was reworked into Brawlosseum, and Pit will have an alternative in the future.
This update is a culmination of a lot of work, so I hope you enjoy! See you on the court!
