v0.5.7 release - New stages and various touch-ups
Yes we know Morris is still invisible, sorry! Patch soon..hopefully. I mean it can't take 6 months again, right? Yeeah sorry about that - a lot of stuff has happened for me (Alice) in the past several months and (without getting too much into details), I just haven't had the same kind of time as what I had nearer the start of the year - I haven't abandoned Rolled Out, promise - this game's still very much a passion project for all of us and I apologize for not really mentioning this sooner (it's scary!).
- Uses Unreal Engine 4.27.2
- Uses stage config v0.6.0
- Uses course config v0.2.0
Added
- Enabled the Unreal Engine console (Press backtick to use it)
- Stage times are now recorded more precisely (The game still simulates at 120 ticks/second, but on the last tick when crossing the goal, the percentage of the way through the tick in which you crossed the goal is now used for sub-tick precision)
- There's a new toggle for manual camera movement, if you prefer to control the camera with a joystick/mouse (Adjust sensitivity in the controls menu)
- You can now bind DPad inputs, finally
- Various new stages
Changed
- The main menu now has unique music
- Quaternions are now normalized when loading a stage config
- Coins are now placed where their hitbox is, rather than above it
- Physics have been slightly tweaked
- Because of this, we are wiping leaderboards for this update. Sorry! This will be the last global leaderboard wipe.
- Some stages have been tweaked too
Removed
- Removed ambient volume slider (it was never used)
- Removed "Show level select" input binding (it was also never used aside from some old internal-debug stuff)
Fixed
- The speedometer reads "---" instead of being empty when going over 999 speed units
- Fixed issue where changing direction on UI sliders would sometimes skip values
- The color picker hue goes from 0-1 now, instead of cycling 100 times from 0-100
- Renamed color picker "lightness" to "value", since it uses as HSV color model, not HSL
- Animal voice volume now saves/loads correctly (instead of reusing the announcer voice slider)
- High-res textures are now loaded in the character picker
- The Other Realm background is less obnoxiously bright on Linux/Vulkan now
- Ctrl-Shift-Click to create preview images for an entire arcade course no longer crashes

2021 Rolled Out Go Fastathon
It's time to shatter the sound barrier.
Hey, you, there, reading this. Want to win a cool, unique, and not for sale Rolled Out Shirt? Keep reading.
We're holding our first ever leaderboards contest in Rolled Out! The official 2021 Rolled Out Go Fastathon! Many of our courses have been optimized to the ends of the Earth, so it wouldn't be a fair contest. We decided that for the sake of keeping the playing field even, we're going to run on the new levels added in patch 0.5.4.1, available in the "Basic" arcade course. 15 never before seen stages, 15 new chances to prove your speedy skills, 15 stages to optimize and perfect. Make sure to take breaks, and remember the wise words of Confucius. "Going faster than light will only leave you in darkness"
...he probably said that, at some point.
We’re still finishing up the shirt design. It unfortunately couldn't be ready for our release date, so we'll be updating this blog, our Discord, and Twitter with the final design soon.
So how does this work? Easy. First, you have to sign up here - this competition is purely optional to everybody. You then have to be on top of the time leaderboards for the new course by the end of the contest (2021-08-13). So sign up, go fast, and win some sweet shirt based prize wear.
CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP
The top 5 times on the leaderboard for the new "Basic" course, who have signed up to be in the running, will get a shirt, so get rolling out or be left in the dust!
