addedMomentumAdded concept of momentum to the game. Works same way as the push back calculation where you can supply distance, frames, and speed factor to have the character slide to a stop. All characters will now slide forward slightly when ending a dash, or performing a DTC, and additionally Dog when he stops from a run.

Momentum

Added concept of momentum to the game. Works same way as the push back calculation where you can supply distance, frames, and speed factor to have the character slide to a stop. All characters will now slide forward slightly when ending a dash, or performing a DTC, and additionally Dog when he stops from a run. Momentum can carry passed an attack that gets used, allowing moves to hit farther than before and the possibility of combos that were not possible from a stand-still.

Hit Sparks

Adjusted various hit spark positions.

Jumping Normal Attacks

Many jumping normal attacks have had their animations, active frames, frame advantage, hit/hurt boxes adjusted. Should make the air game a bit more nuanced.

Hit Sequences - Spin

Added "Spin" hit animation and updated many attacks to use it.

Hit Sequences - Knockdowns

Adjusted all knockdown animations and how their physics get applied.

Taunts

Some taunts now have a small non-cancellable hit box that does 1 damage.

DTC

Movement now uses momentum instead of engine physics, moves slightly farther than before and allows better followups after the post-DTC attack.

Dashes - Forward

Now appliers a small amount of momentum at the end of recovery, moves slightly farther than before and allows better followups after the post-dash attack.

Throws

Updated various throw-tech animations.

Attacks - Move Boxes

Some moves have had their movement boxes extended during startup, this will help them push the defender out more and improve the visual look.

The Future - New Hotness

Just wanted to say a few words about where we are in regards to our substantial "new hotness" update that is in the works. Right now most of the big tech hurdles are out of the way but there are still some loose ends to finish up and features that need to be re-implemented, and it is still very much in a "programmer UI" state. A brief run down of what you can expect to see in this update:

  • New and improved netcode: Fully rebuilt lobby system with more player and multi-station support, more features, and better connectivity.

  • Upgraded version of UnityGain a lot of workflow, performance, a feature improvements that have been added to Unity over the years, will however lose DX9 support and gain DX11/Vulkan support. Performance is generally a little worse raw fps wise, but much smoother.
  • New and improved menu systemFully rebuilt UI for navigating the menus in the game and getting into a match. Much snappier, much easier to use, hopefully much improved overall.

  • New and improved in-game UI: Much more animated and intuitive in-game UI (health, meter, etc)

This update will serve as a big foundational upgrade for the game and allow future improvements to be made much easier. Once we've made a polish pass and have it closer to release I plan having a public test through our discord, so please keep an eye on it in the coming months.

Thank you for your continued patience and support - Willpower
