Version 1.13 Mod Mode Added
Version 1.13 brings with it, MOD Mode.
this is a separate executable and allows you to essentially use the PLAY NOW mode to battle with any team in your arsenal.
I did put some documentation in the MOD folder to assist with your endeavors.
Using this Mod Mode, you can create any team using the Team editor and load them from the Teams folder inside the MOD File Structure. You can also add a logo and point to the file in the team editor.
So pretty much any team you have ever wanted to play with, against, whatever. It is truly possible.
Not only are teams unlimited but you can also edit, remix the PA and Music Folders to anything you want without fear of an update replacing them. On the first install simply copy the Music and PA folders from LTL's main folder and put it in MOD. From there, it's up to you!
Figured I would do something fun for the Summer Sale and I hope all of you enjoy it. Also hook me up with some 90s hockey teams if anyone wants to haha!
Till next time

-Turbo Driveby Goalie as spotted in the opening sequences of your game has been corrected.
-Winning the Keg gave you the wrong screen. Corrected.
-Some main menu jank has been corrected.
-Toned down some deflections seen in Unfair difficulty. IT WAS A LITTLE TOO CRAZY.

Version 1.10 - More Dynamics , improved control , fixes
Light the Lamp Hockey continuing to make strides in the gameplay department! I do appreciate all the feedback I have received and am working on improving the game in the aspects that you all are yearning for!
First up!
More Dynamics! - battles and puck bounces which includes fumbling passes are now enabled. They are seperated into the different difficulties as they do indeed make life much harder for the player.
Easy - Least amount of added dynamics. Basically the game as it was in Version 1.09.
Normal- will include more deflections, loss of puck control, slap pass ricochets. Blocking and more!
Unfair- Full dynamics are present. tons of puck bobbling, deflecting, poking the puck into empty space. fumbling passes etc. (this does also go to the CPU so not as unfair as stated.)
Skating: Smoothed out the skating. there is a lot more weight to your character. It was a bit too floaty before.
AI improvements: I have worked a lot on the AI in the past couple of weeks and I'm ready to release that update. the best way to see improvement is through position lock and passing to them.
Some notable improvements are...
-Ruthless forechecking
-more aware of opposing players.
-using the boards more.
-Defense use Clappers more (old time HOCKEY!)
-Goalies are more active.
-Better one-timers.
Presentation: went through some menus and improved some transitions.
Goal Songs: Each Home team will have a song randomly selected that is played when they score.
Away teams - Well you get to enjoy that audience reaction when you get a goal.
Thanks to Everyone for playing the game and supporting it!

Version 1.09 - Fixes, Gameplay Changes
Quick note about the new version.
Version 1.09
-Added back in the ability to change positions while not having the puck in classic control mode.
Sorry to any customers that were experiencing frustrations caused by that.
-You now have the ability to call for a pass in POS Lock control mode. However, be aware of the pass target above your head. if you call for the pass while the cpu is locked to another the CPU will pass it to the person highlighted. This can be advantageous when moving the puck around.
-Defense will now pass the puck more so be aware of that when in offensive zone.
Thanks to everyone's feedback and support!
