SURPRISE DISCO DODGEBALL UPDATE VERSION 10
Erik Asmussen
Hi!
It's been a minute.
So...I decided to update the game after all these years, and it wound up being one of the biggest updates the game has ever seen. oops
Multiplayer now runs over Steam Networking. This should allow for extreme low latency setup for LANs because it automatically creates a direct connection among computers on the same network. There's no 'regions' any more, all players are in one big lobby list, and you can browse by ping. You can invite friends through Steam Networking and they will automatically join your game. From within a multiplayer match: Menu / Invite Friends. Your current lobby is also part of Steam Rich Presence so friends can join your match from there Improved syncing / prediction for bots and dodgeballs so it should feel less laggy Added instant replay system - you get to see how you got KO'd and the final KO of the match is replayed for everybody Improved bot AI - they can identify threats, swerve to become a harder target, and are much more accurate throwing shots especially at flying targets Bots explode into real pieces when they are KO'd. very satisfying Added 'events' to support Steam Timeline, so you can look through your captured video and more easily grab highlights (see https://store.steampowered.com/gamerecording for details) Improved spectator camera, so it doesn't clip through walls and instead finds more interesting angles of gameplay Various performance improvements Improved bot shield shader
Here's an example of a replay, after I personally got humiliated by Trevor bot:
Some bug fixes too:
Fixed boss health bar disappearing if you hit ESC while it was alive Fixed bug displaying the count of owned inventory items if they were gained or traded while steam was running Fixed leaderboards not updating when submitting a new score Fixed floor lighting glitches in Airborne
Please note: this update included an update to Unity 6, which now has a minimum requirement of Windows 10. But I created a new branch 'legacy' that has the previous game version on it, so you can continue playing if you don't meet the new requirements.
Enjoy!
Erik
