Winter is coming

[p]The locker room has been moved to our cabin in the woods to enjoy the cosy winter times. Word on the street is Goosan is out collecting some decorations and will put them up closer to the holidays![/p][p][/p]

Improvements

[p]- Updated our input handling system in an attempt to fix a sensitivity issue in practice mode some people are experiencing. We are still unable to reproduce the bug so this is a hail Mary. If you have any information on reproducing the bug consistently, please let us know![/p][p][/p]

Fixes

[p]- Fixed memory leak issue related to item previews from the new engine version[/p][p]- Fixed several issues related to asset loading, should reduce game freezes for people that have been experiencing them[/p][p]- Fixed incorrect material rendering on several items with dark tints (Fish bowl, Visor, Super Star)[/p][p][/p]

Esports

[p]- Added small description of activities to all links on the esports UI[/p][p]- Added an evolution for Ottawa Valley back item (separate item)[/p][p]- Added new broadcaster info files (can be turned on using `broadcasterinfo on` in the console) for use with streaming software. This will now write the score of each team to `homescore.txt` and `awayscore.txt` in the StreamingAssets folder alongside the existing `broadcasterinfo.txt`.[/p][p][/p]

Cosmetics

[p]- Added Clogs Gloves, Circuit Hoodie, Frog Mask, Pumpkin Jersey, Dust Mop, Goosan Tape, Croissant Gloves, Shoulder Guards, Sports Glasses, Recorder Glasses, Bubble Gum, Hacker Jersey, Field Hockey Stick, Roadsign Stick, Cherry Pie Jersey, Present Stick, Penguin Beanie and Open Blade Stick.[/p][p]Some of the cosmetics above will be available through a new feature in a later update[/p][p][/p][p]GLHF,[/p][p]Oddshot Games[/p]

Excessive bloom hotfix

[p]Hi Slappers,[/p][p][/p][p]Due to an engine issue we ran into some excessive bloom issues on certain cosmetics which impacted visibility of the game. We've hotfixed this by clamping the maximum amount of bloom. This means some cosmetics that had the issue might still have a strange glow to them which we're looking into. We wanted to make sure the core of the issue was patched first and foremost.[/p][p][/p][p]Happy slapping![/p][p][/p][p]GLHF,

Spooky Scary Slapshot

[p]Slapshot's locker room has been updated to be spookier ːreboundbugː[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/37173422/1a573ece4e189435e999d5826342c6d86ae788c9.png"][/p][p]GLHF,[/p][p]Oddshot Games[/p]

Summer update, bumping nerf, Season 3 info

[p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/37173422/850ec83c1de7a4a1a806814c108927804518db9b.png"][/p]

Rebound v1.8.2 is now live ːreboundː

Summertime!

[p]To deal with the temperatures climbing again in most of the world, we've moved the locker room to the beach! [/p][p][/p]

Bumping nerf

[p]The first task of the new Gameplay Council was to find a better balance for bumping other players. They have landed on a 15% nerf without impacting environmental bumps (like bumping off the boards). This will make battles for the puck more interesting! If you have any feedback, please let us know![/p][p][/p]

Cosmetics

  • [p]Added Golf Club stick[/p]
  • [p]Added Cloud Jersey[/p]
  • [p]Added Wrench Stick[/p]
  • [p]Added Pigeon Hat[/p]
  • [p]Added Penguin Buddy[/p]
  • [p]Adjusted the ghost pants material to match the new material for the rest of the ghost set[/p][p][/p]

Season 3

[p]A new season is in production with a full announcement coming soon. This season will focus on in-game events to earn more exclusive items in a fun way instead of a new season pass. The existing season passes will receive a small rebrand to avoid confusion with the ranked seasons (your progress will not be affected). The new ranked season will come with ranked rewards, a soft reset, and matchmaking/rating improvements. We'll release more information with the season announcement![/p][p][/p]

Canada Day & 4th of July

[p]From now until July 7th, you can claim the Canada and USA sticks for free![/p][p]CANADA25 for the Canada stick![/p][p]USA25 for the USA stick![/p][p][/p]
