v0.82.0

Gameplay

• Capture the flag
  • Dropped flags no longer automatically recover themselves, but now slowly move towards their home base
    • Current implementation is rudimentary: for example, no pathfinding around obstacles

  • Add stalemate mitigation
    • If both flags remain away from their base for 30 more than seconds, flag carriers take damage while they are further than a distance from the flag’s base. This distance shrinks over time

• Dragoon
  • Allow overseer dash and stone form to be used simultaneously (on the same frame)
    • This makes it easier to use stone form to avoid taking damage when headbutting someone

• Guardian
  • Reduce rescue beam cooldown (10 s -> 9 s)
  • Increase rescue beam healing (14 -> 16)
  • Decrease rescue beam pull force by 15%

• Randomize game world size and obstacle count at the start of each round

Visuals

• Reduce number of player colors
  • To make it easier to tell which color belongs to which team

• Refine obstacle repulsion effect
• Make phantom drones pentagonal

Audio

• Add sfx for rescue beam cast

Tutorialization

• Add class info pages that summarize each class
• Tutorial: Elaborate on uses of drone dash and drone repel

UI

• Hold Tab in-game to view info page for your class (replaces holding Tab to view the current leaderboard)
• Add new option (visuals > hud position) to show the overseer HUD at the cursor instead of at the overseer

Client

• Rework render timing logic to reduce stuttering in multiplayer games
