NEW PATCH - ADDS KEYBOARD CONTROLS, MAC AND LINUX SUPPORT, REMOTE PLAY TOGETHER...

After finding one of the major requests for Art Of Boxing was to implement keyboard and mouse control - as many computer users do not own controllers - we felt a little bad, making every single Steam user on earth go out and buy controllers just to play the best game ever made...

So we buckled to the pressure and have ADDED alternate KEYBOARD AND MOUSE controls.

Don't be confused - the game is 1000% better using a controller, but apparently crazy people play 2K with keyboard and mouse - so we figured wth...

THE NEW KEYBOARD CONTROLS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
WASD = Move Feet
Mouse movement = Move upper body 360 degrees
Left click mouse = Left Jabs/Crosses
Right Click mouse = Right Jabs/Crosses
Q/E = Left and Right Hooks
Shift + Left Mouse Click = Uppercut Left
Shift + Right Mouse Click = Uppercut Right
Middle Mouse Button = Block
Caps Lock = Switch stance to Southpaw
Tab = Clinch
Space Bar + any direction = Dodge
-+ = Cycle Camera views
Enter = Pause

OK MOVING ON!

- MAC OS is now officially supported! However the game only runs on macs built post 2012 running "El Capitan" or later, with "Metal" GPU compatibility. If you are not sure if your mac is "Metal" compatible (Most macs after 2012 are), go into the "About this Mac..." section, click more info, scroll down and highlight your graphics card and there should be some mention of Metal support there.

- LINUX OS and the Steam OS is now officially supported! Whether it actually works or not is another question haha! If you are a Linux gamer out there we need testers~

- Finally "Remote Play Together" functionality has been added to the game. This means that you can boot up Art of Boxing, go into OFFLINE 2 Player VS. mode, than open up the Steam Friends list, and invite a friend to "Play Together" and share your screen/play local co-op, remotely. (think share-play on ps4) Basically it is ghetto multiplayer - which is awesome - and lets us fight each-other before I finish coding the actual multiplayer components!

PATCH NOTES 01-23-2022 !First off, I really wanted this patch to introduce the first tier of ONLINE MULTIPLAYER... that was the plan. However plans don't always work out, and i guess this dev cycle was proof of that... This update took a while to get out because most of my time was spent trying to, unsuccessfully, implement working multiplayer over network, and experimenting with "Machine Learning AI" for the boxers.…Game update5 Sep 2021Hotfix for Uppercut Looping Bug, Camera during KOs, and Ring SponsorsJust a small hotfix for a few bugs: BUG FIXES: - Fixed issue with uppercut animation looping continuously when thrown while leaning. - Fixed bug where camera would not reset to default position after a Knockdown. - Fixed bug where the sponsors were not showing up on the Ring mat/Canvas. - Increased the boxer's stats for your first few opponents so your first fights last a little longer.
