Build 25276754

Hi!

It's been a minute.

So...I decided to update the game after all these years, and it wound up being one of the biggest updates the game has ever seen. oops

• Multiplayer now runs over Steam Networking. This should allow for extreme low latency setup for LANs because it automatically creates a direct connection among computers on the same network. There's no 'regions' any more, all players are in one big lobby list, and you can browse by ping.

• You can invite friends through Steam Networking and they will automatically join your game. From within a multiplayer match: Menu / Invite Friends.

• Your current lobby is also part of Steam Rich Presence so friends can join your match from there

• Improved syncing / prediction for bots and dodgeballs so it should feel less laggy

• Added instant replay system - you get to see how you got KO'd and the final KO of the match is replayed for everybody

• Improved bot AI - they can identify threats, swerve to become a harder target, and are much more accurate throwing shots especially at flying targets

• Bots explode into real pieces when they are KO'd. very satisfying

• Added 'events' to support Steam Timeline, so you can look through your captured video and more easily grab highlights (see https://store.steampowered.com/gamerecording for details)

• Improved spectator camera, so it doesn't clip through walls and instead finds more interesting angles of gameplay

• Various performance improvements

• Improved bot shield shader

Here's an example of a replay, after I personally got humiliated by Trevor bot:

Some bug fixes too:

• Fixed boss health bar disappearing if you hit ESC while it was alive

• Fixed bug displaying the count of owned inventory items if they were gained or traded while steam was running

• Fixed leaderboards not updating when submitting a new score

• Fixed floor lighting glitches in Airborne

Please note: this update included an update to Unity 6, which now has a minimum requirement of Windows 10. But I created a new branch 'legacy' that has the previous game version on it, so you can continue playing if you don't meet the new requirements.

Enjoy! ːdd_botː
