Hello, everyone! I've got a big update headed out to the beta branch.
There's a new piece of gym equipment - the Focus Ball / Floor-to-Ceiling Bag. This is the first piece of training equipment that can hit you back. Use it to improve your reflexes and practice slipping. Let me know how the physics feel, and I'll make adjustments if necessary.
When you get into the gym, you'll notice the radio is back on. You can adjust the volume in the settings menu. Additionally, you can have the radio play your own music! To add your own tracks, open up the game's install directory and look in "game_Data/StreamingAssets/Music". You'll see a readme file with instructions, but basically you'll just need to convert your music to .ogg files and put them in that directory. The radio will play at the main menu gym scene and during the Gym - Day fights.
Once you're in a match, a message will pop up to direct you to your corner to begin. Currently, you have to be in your corner to have access to the Continue/Exit options, but please let me know if this feels like a nuisance.
Previously, if you held your hands out and leaned your head back, the AI would think you moved your body away and would step forward to chase you, walking past your gloves. Now, the AI will respect your outstretched hands and won't just plow through them.
Check out the full update notes below. Please let me know how things feel in the feedback thread here or by emailing me at [email protected].
If you run into a game breaking issue, please report it to me and then switch over to the rollback branch to go to the previous beta update.
Thanks!
Update Notes:
- New gym equipment: Focus Ball
- The radio in the gym now plays music. You can adjust the volume in the settings menu, and you can add your own tracks by putting ".ogg" files in the "game_Data/StreamingAssets/Music" directory inside the game's install location. A readme file with instructions is included inside that directory.
- Opponents should no longer step in past your gloves (but they might still throw themselves into them with a lunge punch).
- Joe now sometimes throws fakes.
- The custom gear and glove images have been moved inside of the "game_Data/StreamingAssets/CustomGear" directory inside the game's install location. A readme file has been added in that directory with instructions.
- The round number customization slider now goes up to 15!
- The trauma gain rate now scales proportionately with the number of rounds, based on the previous value for a 3 round match.
- Re-added functionality where your glove will teleport back to the controller's location if it somehow ends up a large distance away from it.
