if you find bugs i appreciate it alot if you write in the bug reports discussion about it.
when finding a bug: what happened? what you did before that or what you were going to do when bug happened? did the bug happen for server maker or others?
the more information about the situation more easier the bug is found.
thanks for reading, have fun.

Big upcoming update
big change is going to be in the map generation, currently there is alot of blocks what are spawned, new system will have less blocks but more stuff inside them. the system will increase network speed and loading times, it will change somehow the map playability but trying to keep it as fair as possible. also adding variety for more different layouts.
update is currently on the works and price is going to raise a bit.
stay tuned.

My second game on steam
play chill mode or speedrun against other players with online leaderboards.
PlatBall will be released 14 august
https://store.steampowered.com/app/912990/PlatBall/
changes / volume / map
- fixed: survivor was able to vault after death
- players are slightly faster
- spectators have more freedom on flying
- volume slider added
- keypad system changed, no need to set the code manually anymore. press interact near pad and it will check your codes automatically. old keypad does not come to screen at all.
(game has to have a nice flow, setting up the code manually kinda breaks it and can be very slow at times especially with controller.
this will disable code ghosting via talking, everyone has to collect their own codes or go same time when door is open)
- code scrolls changed to papers
- map image with + sign has something little bonus
- new map: library
voice chat is disabled for now. proximity is the way it should have been done at start. you might see some bugs with volume slider.
bug fixes / killer turn / info
- fixed: keypad dont work with controller
- fixed: after putting right code cant use keypad
- code clears now every time keypad is closed
- when you look down or up with killer, now the character actually turns.
- killer camera is set to head position, walking feels more realistic
( this might give some people motion sickness, you start feeling ill when camera is bouncing, like puke feeling. let me know if that happens and that can be changed by tweaking the walking animations. same thing with survivor camera. )
- added weapons for some killers in outlet map
- controller default sensitivity is now 2x faster
game is now updated with latest game engine version, so there might be some bugs.
new map will be there at some point. idea came from community and it will have a little twist to gameplay.
faster vault for killer / fixes
- storage map has less dead ends and more fences to vault
- both storage and outlet maps exit gates are closer to the door
- fixed: if dead survivor leaves server, survivor count goes down by 1
- fixed: both killer/survivor can vault inside logs on forest and forklift on storage
- fixed: keypad opens on button press on any player if someone is at gates
monday update
- custom cursor removed
- fixed: same survivor can be killed many times in a row
- fixed: when survivor dies and goes spectator there still was UI info
- fixed: round end time bouncing randomly
- possible fix: UIs gets mixed, wrong hud or no hud at all
big update
timer is now removed, new game mode added. there is normal mode and extended mode, extended mode changes the gameplay a bit.
NETWORK
network has been 80% rebuilt. whole system how the server handles players and game works more fluidly.
OTHER
- added survivor death animation
- ai killer melee collision set smaller
- fixed bug that vsync goes on randomly (controller players notice it when sensitivity changes low)
