Brand new User Interface and team based gameplay
Hover: Revolt of gamers gets a major update today with two additions that will change your ingame experience.
New User Interface
First of all, we are releasing the brand new user interface. We took advantage of your feedbacks to improve every aspect of our UI. The new one is a lot nicer visually but also offers a smoother and more intuitive navigation through menus and options.
We changed everything from the design and the settings. We hope you will like it.
As you will see this new UI displays quite some “WIP” features. You can see there’s a lot more coming on the statistic and equipment side!
Team based gameplay
This may change quite a bit the way you play Hover: Revolt of Gamers.
Starting from this update, you can manage your playable characters and create teams of 5. Ingame you will now be able to switch from one character to another when ever you like without going back to the main map. You even have an Hotkey to do so (“T” by default).
This change also affects the way you are progressing in the game as you now progress with your team instead of having a different progression for each character.
Please, give us your feedback on these two changes to the game, it’s an important improvement to us.
Other changes
Frames of Gameball baskets are also now visible from further.
- Small graphic improvement for holograms
- Now there is a sound effect when your energy turn low
- The Free camera mode can now be activated by entering this command in chat : “/free camera”
Solving some bugs:
- Some missing textures in the sewers/gamers HQ have been added.
- Bumper sound effect has been fixed so it won’t be heard in the entire map.
- All apostrophes are now displayed in dialogues!
- The flip + rewind glitch that allowed to instantly redirect momentum has been fixed. (Sorryyyy :x)
- Light saturation on characters has been tweaked to avoid somewhat unsightly renders.
- Veelan stats have been fixed, she had no aerial control! Deeply sorry for this bug!
- Random-extract-zones are now fixed. They were badly synchronized online
- The multiplayer mode does not stay deactivated anymore when you leave the tutorial.
- Some grinds were missing in District A, now it's fixed.
- The server won't crash anymore when you catch a traitor in multiplayer.
- Missions now works even when the host doesn't take part in it.
Update: Explore the Sewers - New Special Stage
Fusty Game is happy to announce the release today of a big update for Hover: Revolt of Gamers. It includes a full new map: Hover City Sewers.
The sewers are a vast underground map full of secret places to find and explore and also new goals to achieve. In addition to this new large area to explore, this update unveils a large part of the storyline with a focus on the Gamer Resistance.
Hover City’s authorities totally abandoned the Sewers. They so became a perfect place for the Gamer Resistance to hide and secretly gather.
The Sewers are the most strategic place for the rebels. In the undergrounds, they have set up race courses and Gameball stadiums. They are used to challenge the newcomers, select and train the best recruits before them being sent in dangerous missions.
Most of all, the Sewers are the shelter of the Resistance Head Quarter. This hidden place is hard to find for news comers. Finding the entrance is part of the challenge for proving you are worth to join.
The Sewers are a very large map made of labyrinthine tunnels and large themed rooms. Players will have access to 3 new large Gameball stadiums as well as 3 new themed races. These races will require characters with high levels in specific skills, like speed, jump or grind.
This announces an upcoming evolution of Hover’s gameplay. Within a few weeks, the dev team will introduce a new team system. Instead of focusing on a single character, players will be encouraged to create a team of rebels, each of them having special skills and abilities. Having a balanced team will be essential to progress in the storyline and achieve the objectives. The player will be able to switch anywhere from a character to another in order to match the challenge.
Also in a next update, the Sewers will even more become a primary place in the plot-line and the gameplay. It will become mandatory to succeed in the Resistance challenges to get access to the Prison and learn more about the story. For now in this current version, the prison is still accessible regardless of what the player did or did not in the Sewers.
The Sewers update brings a lot of new content and missions for the players:
The sewers are a new playground both for Hover’s players and for the dev team. Expect a lot more content to be added in this area in next updates.
All this new content is up and running on Steam, update your game client to enjoy it!
Remember the game is currently 25% off. It will be so until the end of the Steam Summer Sales on july 4th. Come and chill in the hidden disco!
