[h2]Gameplay[/h2]
- Puck deflection off the head is no longer slowed down
- When a 4th player is spawned (for customs), they will spawn behind the face-off closer to the goal
[h2]Arenas[/h2]
- Added outdoor arena as an option in custom lobbies
[h2]UI[/h2]
- When sliding the camera options, your UI becomes transparent so it's easier to see the result
- Added a 'switch team' button in appearance and shop so you can see cosmetics from the blue team as well
- Added a 'Periods' toggle to custom lobby creation
- In the Shop, previewing a cosmetic will show you all their variants too
[h2]Cosmetics[/h2]
- Changed cosmetic level calculations and added a max level of 20
- Added variants, when levelling cosmetics if they have a '+' in their thumbnail you can unlock different versions of them
- Added 'puck' cosmetic type; Pre-launch Patreon supporters will have their Pux Puck unlocked automatically
- Added a bunch of new cosmetics and hundreds of variants
[h2]Other[/h2]
- Added kbps in and out debug in network debug interface
- Made it easier for admins to follow up on player reports real-time
- Created an analyser to find MTRs that are of interest to the data centre to help solve latency issues
- Reduced game bandwidth usage by 30-40%
[h2]Fixes[/h2]
- When losing connection to chat services, it no longer pops up and disrupts gameplay but notifies you in chat instead
- Music no longer plays during gameplay when loading from practice mode
- When pressing 't' while typing something (e.g. a report or console command) it will no longer open chat
- Fixed bug where audio settings wouldn't always correctly be loaded at game startup
- Fixed minor stutter when dashing or braking on high latency
[h1]What's next?[/h1]
Next up is hair and stick colors + different stick cosmetics. We're also gearing up the work on a ranked playlist. In the meantime, gameplay sessions will be conducted to figure out how to make the game more competitive and fun in the longterm. Many more things coming too.
