Changelogs #25.06.24 - Alpha

More experiments are going on as usual. Also, as many of you already noticed, we have rolled back the 4 vs. 4 player limit in Touchdown between patches; it is now 5 vs. 5 again. We have also replaced the player smoother with a better one, which in return improved the hitbox rollbacks for hit registration, but it is minimal.

Gameplay

• Fixed walljump launching you up due to “landing” just as it starts

• Crowd control immunity is implemented into recovery dodges

• Recovery dodge no longer has a minimum time check to execute it from a crowd control

• Recovery dodge now refunds you 75% of the health you lost on the hit instance you recovered from

• Crouch and emotes now let you get out of the animation with just movement in panic, without forcing you to jump out

• Crouching starts to heal you after 0.3s with a curve that gets faster as you wait. Max heal amount is 40, but it will reduce your maximum health by the same amount it healed you

• Jump attacks now do one last hit once they touch the ground, allowing us to reduce the mid-air downward hitboxes we needed to hit the ground from air

Game Modes

Practice Mode:

• Fixed dummy not spawning correctly and staying in T pose

• Dummy now spawns in a random Beta team location instead of map center (use /tp to relocate them)

Maps
