Hey everyone! Rare Saturday Test branch update! Some very important QOL improvements for Free Roam that eventually bleed into Arena matches. Free Roam kind of works as our safe, 'testing' area, where we can experiment before we send changes to the Arena matches. Been wanting to get these fixes in for a long time, were really bothering me when they stopped working at some point! 🤔How to Access…

Updates: Players: 6 New characters to choose from to play in matches. Playable Characters Added: · Fire Guy · Water Guy · Grass Guy · Ice Guy · Air Guy · Dark Guy For now, the characters are cosmetic only (aka there's no gameplay advantage to one vs the other).

Hey everyone! Update 2026 is out and available for all players! This covers everything in the previous Test branch updates, But I'll summarize them here: Updates: General: -Entire engine moved to new render pipeline (URP from HDRP) allowing us to better scale. -Better performance and optimization across the board. -Groundwork laid for launch on consoles (but still a ways out).

Hey everyone! Small update. The 4 new maps have been given their own ambient sounds. Sounds are based on objects in the environment (aka dynamic, and based on what's happening and where). Crowd ambience has been turned down slightly to better balance the soundscape. The maps should sound different from each other now. Things are looking more and more stable, and we're gaining confidence with th…
Hey everyone! We're shipping out a new build to the test branch. Meadow, Snow, Volcano and Desert all now have 3D environments surrounding them. The areas should feel much more lived in and more alive with this update! This is also laying the groundwork for us shipping more creative maps and game modes. You'll notice an increase in build size (Snow environment is mostly the culprit but we're wo…
Fixes: -Fixed the lightmap problem on the 4v4 map. Note: You may see longer load times entering scenes than usual on the first time loading an environment. That's because we're applying compression to make the build size smaller. We could either have a 10GB build with faster load times, or a 6.09GB build with longer load times. We chose build size for now, but we'll be checking on this and maki…

Hey everyone! Just a smol update. Meadow, Volcano and Desert maps are ready to go out to players. We’re just fixing some of the final edge-case bugs and visual glitches from switching pipelines from HDRP to URP. We’re hoping to get these out in the next 2 weeks.

Hey everyone! Fixes: -Fixed some achievements not triggering for some players -Knockback physics have been slightly tweaked, to work with some new systems Known Issues: -Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected Navigating down on controller to sliders isn't moving the controller selection down like it should, forcing you to use a mouse. //Coming with next batch of UI fixe…
Hey everyone! Found the source of the GoalCamera bug, so this update fixes that. Fixes: -Fixed GoalCamera position from being far off of where it's supposed to be. //It does do a little un-intended sliding, which I'll smooth out in the next update. Known Issues: -Controller Navigation in ArenaSettings doesn't work as expected Navigating down on controller to sliders isn't moving the controller…
Hey everyone! Even though the team is off this week, I wanted to get the fix to knockback in since it affects gameplay pretty bad, and it's also just a small value adjustment I can do on my end. Fixes: -Reduced knockback from large size swings We adjusted some math in a previous update that accidentally tuned this too strong. In a future update, we'll be setting durations on the knockback, so w…

Hey everyone! Improvements: -Updated the Free Roam map. It's now bigger, the tutorial section is improved, and there's lots more objects to interact with. Not everything is hooked up and working just yet. I'll continue updating this as we go. And of course, it's just a blockout, so the grid will get replaced with actual environment assets. Known Issues: -Free Roam currently plays Gameplay music…
