[h1]Rebound v0.99.0 is now live ːreboundː[/h1]
You may have noticed we jumped to v0.99.0 from v0.78.0 - that's because this is the last patch before the v1.0.0 release on April 11th!
This patch introduces a lot of quality of life and other improvements as well as additions to the Pond which will launch as an open lobby with the game's release.
[h2]New features[/h2]
- Added a sumo minigame to the pond. This is available when making a custom game using the pond gamemode, and will be available in the open pond lobbies with the full release on April 11th.
- Pressing escape in any offline mode now pauses the game
- Added a shake to the stamina bar when you try to dash and don't have enough. This can be toggled off in the settings.
- Added a zoom sensitivity setting
- Added an opacity slider for your resources (stamina & dizziness)
- Added the ability to start/stop matchmaking queue from practice modes
- Created an internal system that reports the server's latency to players to us so we can make more informed decisions regarding server locations
- Added a setting so you can choose whether puck lift is hold or toggle
- Added a new public API endpoint that allows API users to get a Slap ID from a Steam ID (For creating applications)
- The ranked leaderboard now shows your placement on the top right (note: it will not show if you have not played a match in 7+ days)
[h2]Matchmaking[/h2]
- Improved matchmaking for solo queue and parties, should result in more balanced matches
- Adjusted rating calculations to more accurately reflect your rank after doing placements
[h2]Improvements[/h2]
- Implemented several big performance improvements to the servers
- Added hover tooltips to the abbreviated stats in Player -> Stats
- Added proper controller support to spectator mode
- The escape menu flow has been improved, doesn't close when closing a submenu or closing settings
- Reduced the zooming in/out cooldown after replays from 1.5s to 0.5s to prevent accidental zooms
- Added the zoom cooldown to pressing resume too, so you don't accidentally zoom when going back to your match (Controller)
- Fixed and improved the esports live system; it will now show up when it's set up even when you're already on the main menu
- Added arena size specific caster camera locations, most notable the XL arena now has a better caster camera location
- The recommended region selection now shows you which regions it has selected (by toggling them on when recommended is selected)
- Improved zooming in and out with consistent camera bounds
- Changing the active input device properly resets tooltips; they would otherwise get stuck on the screen
[h2]Fixes[/h2]
- Fixed players not showing on the end game screen if they leave right before it
- Fixed a warning incorrectly popping up when clicking cancel on the video settings
- Fixed main menu interactions when using mouse with a controller plugged in that has stick drift (Fixes character rotations and scrolling)
- Fixed a bug where zooming while flipping the camera could mess up the camera angle
- Fixed video settings not always properly applying when booting up the game
- Fixed FPS limits not always working when changing scenes
- Fixed the settings menus not properly recalculating their content sizes when a toggle hides/shows other settings
[h2]Cosmetics[/h2]
- Added a variant to devil horns that uses your hair color as the color of the horns
- Added death outfit, necromancer jersey, assassin outfit, oni outfit
- Reworked the existing plague mask cosmetic, old ones are now variants
