You asked, and we delivered. I have spent over 300 hours over the last two month to rework the game from the ground up to bring you better netcode. However there are some caveats:
Please note that online is still very much a work in progress. There's going to be some new bugs, but trust that I'm working every update to squash as many as I can. As it stands this update should still be a marked improvement over the previous online and I'm pretty proud of it.
This update also brings the long awaited Washington rework! Your shotgun is no longer on a cooldown, instead you'll have limited ammo that refills when you get a hit. This means that if you run out, you're a sitting duck -- but if you can maintain a lead, there's all kinds of multi-shotgun outplays at your disposal.
With this massive buff we've also increased the cost of America Forever to be more in-line with other comboable supers. (Sorry Washington mains but you can't have EVERYTHING).
I finally got off my ass and made a mac build. Shout outs to my mom for letting me use her computer.
Surprise! Even the discord didn't know about this one. We are adding taunts to the game. To activate, press down and super while standing on the ground.
This update acts as a preview, with just Obama's taunt added. Taunts are spammable, ridiculous, and Obama's has a Vine boom sound effect everytime you do it.
Why are we adding taunts now? Well, it's time for the announcement some of you aren't going to like...
I'm not exaggerating when I said rollback took over 300 hours to complete. If I was still working a 9 to five, this easily could've taken 6+ months to finish, but two months ago, the two of us quit our jobs to work on this game full-time.
In an effort to keep the lights on, we are going to start releasing paid DLC characters. Character 8 will be the first of these characters.
This is in no way the end of free content for the game (our goal for the final roster is 20 free and 10 dlc characters), but I wanted to get everyone mentally prepared for Nixon's release.
And on that note:
If you really want to help us continue to do this full time, consider supporting us on our newly formed Patreon. You'll get early access to the new taunts that we're adding, discord perks, and other cool stuff.
That's it for this update. The goal is to get Nixon done in under a month, so hopefully you guys will be hearing from us again soon. Until then, thanks for your support and God Bless America.
