1.2.3 CHANGELOG

How to join the beta: Open your Steam Library -> Right-click the game -> Properties -> Game Versions & Betas -> Select "public_multiplayer_beta"

New Features

Tutorial System

  • Added a complete tutorial experience covering movement, receiving, diving, blocking, and floating, with guided lessons.

Freeplay

  • Redesigned the Freeplay interface. Ability selection and ball cannon controls are moved into the pause menu, with controller support and bind display.

Multiplayer

  • Added Steam friend invite button directly from the lobby member list.

  • Added leaderboard integration to the lobby and post-match screens, showing player rank and point changes.

  • Added network status and performance monitor (FPS, ping, server timer), opened in-game with `F2`.

  • Added host FPS booster. It automatically switches to minimum 120fps with no VSync when hosting a lobby. This is needed for clients to have a better experience.

Gameplay

  • Added bot difficulty selection for offline play, configurable from the character select screen.

UI & Quality of Life

  • Added a Credits menu to the main menu.

  • Added a new option to disable the match event feed in Game Settings.

  • Added player-following chat bubble display option.

Visual & Audio

  • Removed the "Multiplayer Beta" label from the main menu.

  • Changed main menu button names and order.

  • Freeplay ability buttons now populate dynamically instead of being pre-placed.

Systems

  • Improved save and load system by replacing the obsolete `BinaryFormatter` with `JsonUtility`.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed lobby visibility sometimes switching to public unexpectedly.

  • Fixed player set-in-air, on-ground, and receive-in-air animations not playing when the ball is spiked.

  • Fixed "settings" spelling in multiple places in the Matchmaking scene.
