Version 12.0: Career Mode!

Career Mode

This is a new single-player mode that lets you manage your own Disco Dodgeball team!

• Play in matches alongside computer-controlled teammates
• Earn cash & XP for trick shots, objectives, and teamwork
• Recruit free agents or train up your current teammates
• Upgrade your own bot's powers
• Get ranked alongside persistent computer-controlled teams based on your win/loss record and score differential.
• Finish in the top two team ranks to advance to the next league up. Avoid demotion by staying out of the bottom two teams.
• Work your way up through the Bronze, Silver, Gold, leagues into the Platinum league where you can compete for the World Championship!

Live Replay Capture & Playback

There's now a hotkey that lets you capture a crazy gameplay highlight as a replay you can watch any time. But the best part is, this is not just a screen capture - it saves ALL of the bot and ball movement data! So when you watch the replay you can pause, rewind and even move the camera around to get a better view of the action.

• Hit 'G' after you perform a KO (or get KO'd yourself!) and the game will save the replay for you
• Then go into Profile / Replays to view & edit your replay files
• Pause, rewind, loop, adjust lighting, move the camera around however you like

Misc Improvements

• After a singleplayer match, there is now a Match Highlights button that shows 5 great KOs from the match. Ranking is determined by trick shot difficulty and other aesthetic factors
• New level: Monolith. (Created entirely using the in-game level editor)
• Performance improvements for text handling
• Optimizations to level geometry
• Fixed decals and eye textures having tints that were too dark
• Fixed bot emissive textures looking washed out instead of bright neon
• Huge Ball powerup changes ball scale quickly but gradually instead of instantly
• Easy bots throw a little closer to center of mass, making their shots easier to catch and dodge
• Giant Diamond in Diamond level now glows and animates
• Changed look of main menu buttons
• LED pillars now animate with the music (The pillagers in Cage, and the Level Editor)
• Added Low, Medium, and High quality settings for Screen Reflections
• Bots will give up on stuck dodgeballs so they don't just stand around doing nothing
• Stuck dodgeballs will respawn after a certain time

Bug Fixes

• Fixed some difficulties activating controller mode
• Fixed some controller navigation issues in Arcade mode
• Fixed Score Battle score overlapping with score progress bars
• Fixed a bot navigation bug in Grand Prix when they were having difficulty deciding between getting a ball and going for a checkpoint
• Fixed bots struggling to reach dodgeballs on the center platform in Skate Park
• Fixed Catch Shield, Block Shield and Kill Shield not working in arcade mode
• Fixed bug: some enemies in Arcade would not collide with dodgeballs

Until next time!
