What changed
- UI and audio
- Gameplay
We have been hard at work and we've got some new stuff for you. We have added a method to send quick messages to your teammate. This is a feature that has been requested a lot and it will make the communication in matches a lot better. This is relevant in both single player and multiplayer matches, as even the AI will react to commands and send messages to you. Currently there are four commands to use during matches, and another four to use when the match is completed.
How to use it
Vive: Press the right touchpad up, down, left or right. You can preview the messages by resting your thumb on the touchpad.
Oculus Touch
Move the right stick up, down, left or right. You can preview the messages by slightly pushing the right stick in a direction. Message will be sent when you move the right stick all the way to one side. We had to redo some of the button layout to make room for it. The reset tractor button is now a button inside the cockpit, next to the mirror, and you can also reset the tractor from the pause menu. Hold the right grip button to display some in game stats and ping.
And here's some more stuff
When grabbing the joystick or the flipper rudder, it will now move to where you grabbed it. We added this because we thought it would be easier understand that you can reset the controls in any position. Please let us know if you like it better this way, or if we should bring back the old way as well.
Added an option to invert the flipper controls in the options menu.
Added new Quick Communication options.
Adjusted the launch platforms; Should not flash on reset any more.
Activated Steam Cloud Save.
Have fun!
