Map Updates

All maps have been touched up and adjusted where needed.

Quality Of Life

Core Engine

  • Major reworking / improvement of how game assets are loaded as a result of optimizing for Nintendo Switch release.
  • Major oversight fixed on Camera functionality that prevented camera from panning while zoomed in. Camera feels much more natural now.
  • Toned down announcer events for less important events such as headshots and overkills
  • Fixed major bug causing Rockets and Grenades to explode unexpectedly and inconsistently
  • Added safeguard logic so objective items (HTF flag) will reset to camera center if they drop below camera bottom view
  • Fixed controller mapping issue that prevented opening the Pause Menu during gameplay
  • Fixed oversight with Rule Set value selection that would have the game load the wrong values from what the user had chosen
  • A bot player is now added automatically if only 1 human player is found
  • Fix for issue where Camera would occasionally scroll past 'Stop Points' on Keep.
  • Fixed bug in FFA Stock that would result in a DRAW if both players had 0 remaining stock on the last kill
  • Fixed "Takes The Lead" stinger that would play in TDM Stock on first spawning
  • Fixed longstanding continued velocity after respawn bug.

Core Gameplay

  • CPU droplasers no longer track a players position perfectly, feeling more natural
  • Temporary removal of PowerGlove until we have it fully polished for public play
  • Fixed issue that awarded points to a team in TDM when a suicide occured
  • Moved fire origin for Shotgun backwards 1.0 so rays will still hit other player when they are very close / slightly overlapping each other.

Visual Changes

  • Made end match detailed stats larger
  • End match score pile now shows energy pile for HTF
  • Updated projectiles trail effect to a more performant effect
  • Removed bot chatter text for now
  • Fixed issue that would cause spawn Overshield to grow in size when repeatedly grown
