Major changes

This update is all about giving you better information about your team before you make decisions, and after the consequences of your decisions have occurred. We don't want you to need to jump in and out of different menu screens to answer the questions you might have about your situation in the game.

  • Kennel Screen menu flow

    • Fewer resets of kennel screen (when you leave and come back it will be as you left it)

  • Pre-race screen changes

    • New topic boxes on dog columns

      • Group scrolling for easy comparison

      • Extra info popups upon clicking topic boxes

    • Access to full dog detail cards by clicking a dog's name

    • Swap in off-duty dogs by clicking the top of a dog card, instead of backing out of the screen

    • Improved polish and animations

  • Post-race screen

    • Shows stat changes resulting from a race for each dog

    • Animations per dog followed by overview array

  • Skill triggering reworked

    • Fixed some mistakes in the skill system so they trigger at the intended frequency per skill level

  • Lighting technical changes

    • Should improve loading times between some screens

    • Allows for real time lighting scheme changes (coming soon!)

  • Improved loading times

    • Loading time at launch greatly reduced

    • Loading on lighting scheme changes reduced (see above)

While this update is about improving and clarifying what's already in the game, the next ones are going to be more about new features. Keep an eye out! Let us know in the comments, forums, Twitter, or Facebook if you have any feedback on this update. - Dan and Lisa
