Beach Ball Valley Update Butterfly!

Mostly just a bunch of stuff behind the scenes to allow us to rapidly test and implement new ideas, games, locations and Beach Ball Launchers.

We've redone the hand controls so nobody accidentally teleports.
Now you can use your thumbs to launch beach balls.

We've added a few handy things:

Score Boards!


Try to hit 'em with a beach ball

New zones:


BEACH BALL WATERFALL
Beach Ball Canyon
Home of the future Beach Ball radio satellite telescope

Graphics Quality (super sampling)
Numpad 1-4 will give you 100% - 400%. Default is 200%, and higher end cards can run 300%. 400% isn't running on GTX 1080s. Yet, but when SMP for all 10xx card users rolls out, it'll be fantastic.

Cheers!

New Hotkeys for playing with your friends:


Play with your friends:
(Tell your friends to do silly stuff, and hit a key to make 'em think it's in the game)

G – Toggle Giant Mode
Z – Toggle Zero Gravity (only applies to currently active beach balls)

I – Attract Beach Balls (Rapid fire this for best (or worst) results)
A – Attract a single Beach Ball

B – Spawn a huge beach ball (Same as one of the grips, but useful for droppin' on friends)
E – Launch a Beach Ball from where the player is looking
W – Launch a Beach Ball (alternate Launcher point if available)

Break stuff:
D – Debug Pawn (ruins vr, allows you to zip around without vr enabled)
F – Add a Storm System (does not attack until the next time you go over the ball limit)
P – pop all the balls (but why?!)
ESC – Quit Game

Graphics:
Screen percentage:
Numpad 1 = 100%
Numpad 2 = 200% (default)
Numpad 3 = 300%
Numpad 4 = 400% (too much for a gtx 1080 =) )
