Hello! Apologies for these patch notes being a little late, they apply to the update released on 23 April 2018.
- New Contestant Spectator - Players can now select the Spectator character and play both Versus and LOBSTER as them, they're so adorable!
- Framerate optimisation - Framerates should be improved slightly in all areas and drastically in some, especially during Wedy sequences
- New Options - Full-Screen/Windowed options have arrived as have custom controller settings (beta)
- Level tweaks - Based on feedback we've made some signposting and some other tweaks to the levels, such as the elevator in level 3 which could sometimes go all whacky and mess you up for good and the ending to level 2 which could result in players running off into the infinite void! Also the Zen Garden and Temple ares of Level 2 have been signposted and decorated with this in mind.
- Scoring - We've changed the value of the STARS, this means a player wanting to play tactically using popularity or the Stickers scoring mechanisms has a better chance of making an impact on the final scoreboard. STARS used to be worth 100 points, now they're worth 50 each.
- Player Select - Improvements have been made here meaning that all players must be ready before P1 can advance to the next screen
- Improved Performance - Upwards of 20fps increases in some areas of the game.
- Linux Support - We now have a working version of Linux that's only currently available to beta testers, if you're interested in helping test then please get in touch!
- Improved signposting at bottom of waterfall in Kawa River Run
- Falling into the water in Kawa River Run is now more perilous
- Fixed LOBSTER Mode controller assign, now any controller can be used by any player to initiate a turn
- Fixed some geometry where colliders were missing in all courses
- Improved performance (in some areas you should see a 20+fps increase!)
- Turned sunlight back on immediately after wedy arrives to make for a more pleasant visual
- Configured Wedy's camera upward so we can see her better during interview answers
- Moved wedy's spawn so she's much less likely to appear inside level geometry
- Nishiboris P2 (pink) texture somehow reverted back to old one, now fixed
- Fixed unfair scoring on elevator in Super Ichiba Sweep
- Added more detail and hazards to Super Ichiba Sweep
- Adjust camera at FireJuggler Bridge in Kawasemi City Sights
- Adjusted camera when going down road near nightclub in Kawasemi City Sights
- Added many new commentary lines - "Nishbori just ate a poisonous mushroom, that is not advisable!" and many more
- Warning Images (such as the shiba inu photograph) present throughout all 4 courses
- Fixed popularity floating indicators on many objects
