Hey,
Back with ANOTHER update! :-) Yeah that's right... a year with no updates and than two in a row :-D
NEW STUFF IN THIS UPDATE:
- Steam Workshop is now working for you to upload your rosters! This was supposed to be a major feature for the game. The ability to share custom rosters amongst Steam Users. I hope one day to have rosters for all the major weight divisions and eras, for some awesome sim boxing!
- HOW TO UPLOAD ROSTERS: The Steam and "Roster Uploader" UI is a little clunky for the moment... but what you want to do it go to the "Rosters" tab from the main menu. Edit your however you want, and save it with a filename. When you are finished editing and ready to upload, click the yellow button to bring up the "Steam Workshop Uploading Tab". Fill out all the info, and type in your roster filename into the last field. I hope to see some awesome stuff on the workshop! Next step will be to implement custom shorts, tattoos, and glove designs.
- More optimisation of the game and physics in general.
- Reduced the minimum rigidbody collision speed to register a punch. This means a lot less punches will go through the opponent. Solved a lot of issues with the "phantom punches" not landing...
- Reduced the muscle strength on the upper bodies of both boxers, to give more leeway when punches land or boxers collide. You will see a lot more necks snapping back and to the side from punches. However it also sometimes creates some funny upper body motions (will try to limit this in the future)
- Increased the weight of the boxing gloves. I wanted the punches to hit more satisfyingly, so - heavier gloves! :-)
- Increased the maximum amount of energy you can take off with one punch by A LOT. Getting caught should be more dangerous now.
- You can now (very rarely, and the punch has to be HARD) knock someone out with ONE PUNCH!
- FIXES
- Fixed UI pop-up for scheduling a fight on the main hub.
- Fixed "T-Pose" crowd members in the walk out to the ring.
- Replaced horrible crowd models, in the weigh-in scene, with much nicer crowd models.
I have a good artist friend that said he will help me re-do the UI for the entire game... so I'm pretty excited about that! I feel like some nice artistic menus will make the game look much much better. Its one of the worst aspects of the game for me personally... so just know that the UI will be changing for the better soon!
Gonna keep going and trying to improve the game... Feel free to make suggestions or report bugs, you can do that as a reply to this post - or any thread I start - ones I didn't start don't give me notifications... I will try to check it daily.
Thanks to those that are sticking with me....,
Stiltz
