It's time for an update

A pretty rushed update but we are back.
The goal with this update was to make the game playable again. So if you encounter any errors, please report them on the steam forums or on our discord server!

What changed?


Unity3D Engine


The whole project was upgraded from an early 2021.LTS version to the latest and greatest 2023.LTS version. This brings a much needed performance and technical upgrade!

Community Servers


Community Servers are back online with the previously released Free For All maps! Jump straight in to the action without any need to wait.

Projectile fix


Sometimes enemies weren't hit by the lazer. Especially noticeable on close distance. We've changed the hit registration from a trigger system to a more reliable approach - shooting lazers in a quadrant formation out of the lazer! (Raycasting)

Options Menu


Some users have reported resetting of previously set graphics options and others about changing your sliders while the menu was closed. Both of these bugs should be fixed with this update.

Other Stuff


Unfortunately we've had to remove the statistics with this update but we plan to add them in a future update again.
Furthermore the UI has changed a bit:
A general rushed overhaul of the main menu, the options and a new ingame crosshair. Also there is a new sound for shooting and you can enjoy all the DLC skins for free for a while!

What's next?


A nice clean up of the whole project. Some things, such as the voice chat, broke for unknown reasons and need to be fixed. Slowly integrating more maps in to the community servers and re-enabling the matchmaking queue for 1v1 action. A readjustment of UI elements and bug fixing.

That's all!

The wait is finally over 💀

Summary



  1. Matchmaking prototype is now available in Europe, North America, South Asia & Oceania!
  2. New (Upgraded) maps for versus
  3. Statistics are now global
  4. UI "Enhancements"
  5. Radio Music is now available
  6. Removed Social

For detailed explanation continue reading below.


The Matchmaking


Matchmaking prototype is now available in West Europe (Berlin), East North America (Montreal), South Asia (Singapore) & Oceania (Sydney).

Currently available for Versus are 3 different maps from the very early stages of development that have been upgraded with new assets. Simple yet promising for very short and intense matches. Free For All has 2 maps available and a time limit of 15 minutes. For a win you need to contribute to your team (Red or Blue).

We have replaced the current netcode with a different one. The connection should now be more reliable.

Parties are invite only and you need to have the person you want to play with as a steam friend.

We will be adding more regions and gamemodes as development continues and players are interested in playing the game.


The Statistics


The statistics are global; meaning from whereever you play, the statistics will count against everyone. For each new game mode, a new category for statistics will be added. The statistics will be refined in the future, so expect us to add seasons to the game very Soonâ„¢.

The statistics have been reset.


The Visuals


Some maps have been upgraded with new game assets. The new maps: BOOMBOX, SANCTUARY and MIRROR are available in Versus. If you find any visual bugs please let us know. Free For All maps will be upgraded in a future update when the new assets are ready.







The UI/UX


Some upgrades on the UI have been performed. The Scoreboard now doesn't look like the ugliest scoreboard worldwide anymore, The main menu has been reworked and everything else pretty much. The text chat has been removed from the game completely.




The Radio


Currently there are 3 Stations available for your hearing pleasure. Hard & Heavy (Metal, Rock), Party Hard (Mostly House) and Traphop (90's, Hip Hop, Trap). Proudly given to us by GEMA. If you don't like the music, feel free to turn it off. To turn off the radio, navigate to the Options menu.


New DLC's


We have upgraded and added new skins to the store! Make sure to check them out!






What's next?


Depending on player interest, a lot. Pretty much everything is still subjecto to change.
New maps, new assets, new gamemodes, free items, paid DLC's. (Buy them NOW), la la la
We expect you to leave feedback, good or bad. Bug reports if you find any.
Please use the steam forums for that.

Also it is now possible to deselect the skins. lul

That's all.
