addedTeam balanceThe team balance changes didn’t work out so well in practice so we’re trying something else. Now it will work by straight-up balancing the number of players per team, except if both teams have equal number of players and the rank disparity is significant. In that case the next joining player will be limited to the under-ranked team instead of having both available.
addedSoundtrack extendedOur Community has been asking for some old music pieces that were featured in and around AFF throughout the history. So we dug them up and added to the soundtrack package. If we find more of these we’ll put them in as well, promise! http://store.steampowered.com/app/786890/Angels_Fall_First__Soundtrack/
addedCustom protocol integrationFancy words for one of the things we’ve been preparing in the background. While working towards integrating Discord’s Rich Presence and some other web-based features we added a way to run the game and immediately join a server from a simple link. If you host an AFF server, just put a link to “afflink:// ” somewhere and the players will be able to join just by clicking that! Our Discord already makes use of that feature in its #serverbrowser channel. Changelog:
