Story Mode Additions
The final cutscene from Bowling Bash has been added.
An achievement has been added to watching and/or skipping the cutscene in story mode.
This cutscene takes place after the Bowling Bash stage.
This was not added earlier to avoid early spoilers for those who wanted to play Bowling Bash.

Doublon Docks - Modified back wall for better ball flow.
Nala has been added as a prop to both tables. She can be found sitting in various locations.
Misc.
Mushroom Marsh - Ducks have been added as props.

I will slowly integrate more translations and detail them in the weekly updates. The order of priority is Main Menus, In game text then cutscenes.
Currently I am only working on Spanish & French. While I would like to do more, I would need to find translators to do so.

Pirate Palooza DLC & Free Pirate Announcer!
Pirate Palooza
The newest DLC is out and this time it is Pirate themed! The theme was chosen as it ties in well with the new villain from Roxy Raccoon's Bowling Bash. I also decided to implement Kickback on both tables as it was brought to my attention that none of my previous tables used this mechanic. After programming and adding the feature into the game, I retroactively added the mechanic to Silly Circus and included it in the new Bowling Bash table as well. I have gone back to the 1 regular table and 1 wide table format and will do so for the next DLC as well, I hope to have that one out in November. I was already asked and sadly, no there will not be a October/Halloween DLC. I fear that it may be too similar to Ghoulish Games and I want to add more variety to the tables. I also need more time to develop the tables and I do not want to rush them out.
New Pirate Announcer
Free for everyone and not just those who buy the Pirate Palooza DLC.
Loaded with over 70 voice lines.
Not useable in Story mode.
The Witch Volume slider in the settings menu has been renamed to Announcer Volume

Misc & UI.
The 2 announcer options were renamed from Witch & Priestess to Donna & Nala.
The How to Play screens have been given scrollbars for better readability.
A Story Mode section was added to the How to Play Section.

Bowling Bash Announcement
I am pleased to announce that there will be a free expansion coming to the game next week to celebrate the launch of Roxy Raccoon's Bowling Bash. I have put together a small trailer showcasing some of the content which is attached to the bottom of the page. There will be full patch notes released next week to explain everything in full detail. Here are some key features of the update: New chapter in story mode (new cutscene), one new table, an alternate announcer, an unlockable bowling ball, 3 more cosmetic items & fur colors.
I will also be putting the game on sale, including all DLC. So now would be a good time to spread the word and to pick up any DLC you may be interested in! ːGrenadierː

Table + Audio Improvements & Announcements on the future

Lowered volume on Spark boxes on charming chopper & hectic highway
Lowered Volume on mushrooms on Wonderful Willows

Fixed a ball stuck location on Blissful Builder
Fixed a bug related to the new cutscene
Fixed a bug where the DMD volume did not always load the saved volume
Behind the scenes optimization
Raceways have received performance improvements.
Status Updates
I will start off by saying that Nectar has now been released and that development of Roxy Raccoon's Bowling Bash has been gone much better than expected, so I am ahead of my planned schedule.
That being said, there will still be no August DLC for pinball but I do plan on releasing something else exciting instead... details to follow in the near future.
My game plan in the future is to release a DLC pack approximately every 2 months, I will be going back to the 2 table per pack format. 2 Months is not set in stone, some tables take longer than others and it may be a 3 month gap in-between packs.
I would also like to continue to have a "focused theme" to both tables and focus on something new each time.
That being said, it's been brought to my attention that none of my existing tables use the Kickback mechanic, so I will be using it in both of the tables in the next pack. I also took a look at the pre-existing tables and saw that Silly Circus was an ideal candidate where I could easily add it in without changing the layout of the table.
Stay tuned Roxy fans, big things are coming!

***
Q: This is near the beginning, why was it added?
A: It was brought to my attention that the latter half of the game had the majority of cutscenes and that you play 4 tables in a row without any story in-between. This is to help with the game’s pacing. Not only this, but certain elements of the story were lost when converting the game from a 3D platformer to a pinball game and I felt this would help clarify a few things.
Q: I already beat this part of the story though, how does this impact me?
A: Unfortunately, you will not be able to access your current point in Story mode until you watch this cutscene. However, you can simply load it and click skip if you aren’t interested in watching it. Then simply quit out of Story mode and your previous progress will be restored. Sorry for the inconvenience.
