Content Update: Part 1

The first half of the the new content update is live now! This includes basically everything except for the new maps and new game mode. Rest assured that the second half of content (the two new maps and new game mode) is on its way! I simply had these items in a solid state, and wanted to give you all a little something to tide you over (also there's quite a few bug fixes that should dramatically improve your gaming experience). Now let's go over the details

Combined Game Modes

The game mode select screen now includes a new option, Combine Modes, which can be toggled on and off. While on, any modes the host selects from then on will be added to the combined mode. When playing with a combined game mode, players compete for each included mode; if you win ANY of the modes, you win the round. So if you're playing with all three modes and you collect 50 collection points, collect 50 hat points OR are the last person standing on the map, you win the round. Additionally, if you include Scrapmatch with any other mode, the component blocks are unlocked and can be removed with rivets just as you would if playing Scrapmatch by itself.

Online Character Customization

Character customization has been added to online lobbies. When finished with customizing lobby settings, hosts can move to a character customization screen in a similar process to the offline lobbies. Each connected player will be able to select an outfit. Also added player readying functionality for online lobbies in this screen. When a player is ready to start, he or she can toggle their ready status, and when all players are ready, the game will start.

Lobby Customization

Added a new option to lobby screen that opens new screen that allows the host to configure additional settings.

• Randomization Lists - A list of toggleable options for both maps. When playing with random maps, only enabled options from this list are selected. If you want a randomized selection, but don't like some maps, you can disable them here, and they won't be included when randomly selecting maps. Also available for game modes. Hosts can also add combined game modes to mode randomization list.

• Physics Customization - Allows host to customize physics settings. Hosts can currently modify player movement speed, jump strength, player gravity strength, and world gravity strength from 50% to 500%. Any modifications here will apply to all players in lobby.

• Hide Nametags - Toggle player nametags off. Just in case you find them intrusive (or if they hinder your efforts to play sneakily, especially when playing in the upcoming Ball Pits map)

Additional Character Customization Options

• Astronaut helmet

• Banana hat

• Clown

• Crown

• Gnome

• Kitty ears
