Floor is...What!? changes
The team has been hard at work squashing bugs, refining gameplay, and adding some exciting new features. Here's a look at what’s been happening behind the scenes:
Enhanced Gameplay and Visuals
We’ve improved various gameplay elements and environments bringing the game closer to it's final look and feel.
New Character Select: We've moved out of the "GameStop" inspired shelving space and into a big box store! The store has closed and the toys have come to life. Now with 100% more in-store musak playing over the speakers.
- New UI and Sound UpdatesFrom revamped game recaps and score displays to victory emotes and sound effects, we've made sure that each match feels even more rewarding and immersive. We've also added separate sound volume settings for characters, so you can tweak your experience to perfection.
Updated Environments: Several game environments have received final 3d artwork implementation and lighting, design, or camera angle upgrades for a more polished look. We’re continually fine-tuning the visuals as we head toward a public playtest / demo. Stay tuned!
- New Character Parts and AudioFor those of you who love customizing your characters, we’ve added new parts like Muncher's dino arms and full characters like Miss Purrington or Boxy —along with their unique sound packs for their efforts (wins, losses, hits, etc).
General Improvements
We’ve also introduced some new features to keep gameplay fresh:
Player Score Badges: In scored games with a timer, we now hide all player scores with five seconds left in the game to add to the tension of the final results reveal. Muahahahaha.
- Mini-MapA brand-new mini-map feature has been added to Super Kart and Snowman Slam, offering better navigation and a "Mario Kart"-style experience to help keep you navigate.
Tournament Tweaks: The FIW Tournament now features random shakeups between games, adding extra layers of strategy and unpredictability. Shakeups are events where players steal, earn, or lose points that round.
