I just released version 7.0 of Disco Dodgeball, which includes one of the most-requested features: split-screen local multiplayer! Yep, you can now play multiplayer dodgeball with your friends on the same computer.
Hit "Local Multiplayer" on the main menu, activate your gamepads (up to 4 players), pick your bot appearance, choose any of the classic, expert, co-op challenge or custom matches and go!
A wide variety of gamepads are supported. And once you're in a match, you can further customize your bot to your liking by picking out from your existing Steam inventory of cosmetics.
Other changes:
- New 'Bot Photobooth' feature shows your real bot and all your cosmetics in the round-end stats panel (not just a bot icon)
- Access garage and customize your cosmetics within a match
- Bloodlust KOs in custom modes now gain 0 exp to prevent easy XP gain exploit
- Fixed decal clipping on Alkaline body
- Blanking out Profile Name makes it revert to Steam Profile Name, which updates dynamically
- Added bot self destruct when they get out of room bounds
- Added behavior zones within arenas to make bots slow down & boost to improve their ability to navigate jumps & gaps
- Greatly improved menu controller navigation
- Can easily switch between gamepad & keyboard controls. Just hit the appropriate menu toggle button on the device to activate it.
- Mouse input is now excluded from gamepad look controls, although it can be optionally enabled which is necessary for those using Steam Controllers with High Precision Input template.
- Added rumble sensitivity slider
- ‘Most Kills’ stat now reflects most round kills if in a multi-round match. Most match kills are shown when match is over.
Enjoy!
