Tidying up and controlled enviroment



There are a few new characters selection updates. During feedback moments we were told that it is hard for players to know who is who. To help clearing up this problem we have done a few tings. Each skin can only be selected once so we have no more double skins in the game. We were also tinking of changing the colors of the skins but we are short on time to create atleast 4 diffent colored skins of each skin. To further improve the selection players now have to select their team they want to join instead of it being auto assinged. So now players don't have to find out who is on their team during game play. While playing the game once is fun, playing it twice could be even more fun. But unless if you restarted the game this was not possible. So now players can go back to the main menu by pressing a button at the end screen. 

The dynamic camera also received a update, we had the problem that if all the players would be knocked off the stage at the same the game would freeze. This issue has been solved so now you don't have to worry anymore about breaking the game by jumping of the stage.

There are also a few combat update we have updated the punch animation so it is more smoothly, when you grab a player you now again drag him over the ground but without the resistance that we had in the system before the previous system. Also we fixed the dropkick. So you won't fly out of the arena anymore by performing one while you are at the other side of the arena.

Pick-ups recieved a lifetime, while in short-term games you might haven't noticed it, but you could just let pick-ups spawn forever and never pick them up. This would lead to scenarios where the whole arena was covered with pick-ups. This has been solved by given them a lifespan of ten seconds.

When the game end you obviously want to know how many players you scored and not only how many times you got scored. This has now been updated so that you now also see how many times you scored an opposing player.

And the best new feature as last! RUMBLE!. When you punch or perform a dropkick on someone both players their gamepads wil rumble for a short time. Just so you know that you are doing alright or well.. maybe doing not so good.


Next week will be the deadline and as such also the last devlog before "release". Until then for the last episode of Dropkick: the devlog adventures.
