I HAVE THE POWERRRRRR!
Oi oiiiii! We're here again with a nice update!
Here's what's new:
POWER UPS!!
Say hello to your new favorite modifier; Power Ups! These are special items that spawn on the pitch which you can pick up by walking into or kicking the ball at. The current available power ups are:- Boost! Gain great speeds for a short amount of time.
- Oil Slick!
Spit out a trail of oil for any player to slip over. *Disclaimer* All oil was sourced from the Man City owners.
- Magnet Suck the ball towards you for a limited amount of time.
- Slow down Standard really, makes all players on the opponent team run at half-speed.
- Invert All players on the opponent team have their inputs reversed.
- Meteorite Spawn a meteorite then and there like an absolute lad.
- Diving We can't truly call ourselves a football game without including one of the sports greatest actions...Diving! Using this will instantly grant your team a free kick / penalty.
Phew, there's many more to come, and please give us some ideas for more!
Bigger Pitch
Those of you who have checked out the beta branch will have seen our tweaking to the pitch size. We've now finalised the scale of the stadium and improved the pitch textures :D
Game launching improvements
Now when you launch the game, it will automatically start in full screen at the native resolution of your computer. If you want to change this, hold down the ALT key when you launch the game, there you can change the launch settings.
Online improvements
Online should be a lot smoother now as we have done a bit of optimising on the way we send / receive the data.
A few bug fixes
That's about it for this release, we really hope you like it. Next we're going to focus on the more football-y side of the game. Did someone say diving headers??
