Hello all, Just wanted to update you on personal circumstances that are temporarily effecting development of Zoners. After the last update on the 5th of May, I had to focus all my energy on finding a new place to live and then subsequently moving into that new apartment as the tenancy for my previous place was due to end on June 3rd and I could no longer afford to stay there on my own since my ex partner left. As a result, there has been minimal time to work on the game. I have now successfully moved with the unpacking done and various bits sorted. However, I won't have Internet until June 17th. Therefore, it is unlikely much will be done before then. Once I've settled in properly I will begin working on the game again all the same and try and get some updates put at the regular pace of every month or two. I'd say the conservative estimate is to expect the next drop to be sometime in July. I'm keen to get back to it! Apologies for the delay, a result of effects from my earlier breakup, but it is an unfortunate element of being an indie dev that life circumstances can have a dramatic impact on your ability to work as you don't have a large team to make up for short fall. Nor am I funded and so continue to have to work an ever more demanding job for minimal pay. On the other hand, I'll have new music in the next update and will begin animating Urnest in line with the other recent character improvements. I'm hoping to add an interactive credits sequence in the next update too to earn extra points at the end of a cup. If not then the next larger update after should include that bit. There are also some errors in the Hall of Fame I wish to fix. I have begun working with Gabriel, my BG artist, on the in match FX as well, so we should see some nice improvements to the visual impact of a lot of elements in the coming months. I hope you look forward to the future updates and as always, if you're enjoying the game make sure to tell all your friends and family and help the game spread. Many thanks for your patience and understanding in the mean time. Peace & Love, Paris

THE ROYAL GALACTIC SPORT OF ZONERS IS COMING...
...And the ultimate prize is on the table: A single wish of their choosing, to be granted by the galactic king, King Klianc IX! With the fate of anything & everything in the galaxy up for grabs, it's well and truly...TIME TO GET INTO THE ZONE!WHAT IS ZONERS?
ZONERS is a high speed, 1 vs 1, sports action game with tons of profile and match customisation options. Strike the ball with your melee, projectile, super and hyper & dash moves to score in your opponent's goal! Keep scoring quick enough and you'll get rewarded with extra points and maybe even a satisfying Zone Break. But don't let your guard down or give up, as the double scoring extra time, a shield tearing Hyper move or even a catastrophic own goal could flip the tables at any second! And this is all without mentioning all the unique stage gimmicks to be found that add little zesty twists to your chaotic meal.FULL OF CHARACTER
The playable cast is definitely diverse, weird and wonderful and even the menus have a band of quirky Zoners HQ staff to interact with. Encouraging, berating, whispering & selling their wares to you, front to back, there's no shortage of personality to be found in Zoners.SIMPLE BUT DEEP
Every character shares the same simple inputs, making them easy to pick up, but each has access to wildly different stats, skills & spin types. It might look like souped up pong, yet with every character having access to ranged moves in their arsenal, there's always an opportunity to keep on the pressure. Every second counts!ACCESSIBILITY & CUSTOMISATION
A wealth of profile based accessibility options that can be accessed in any mode and will develop even further alongside community feedback makes sure that players of not only different skill levels, but physical capability can easily jump in and have their fun with as little hassle as possible!Want three giant balls whilst the players are slow and tiny? Infinite meters? Directional based ball gravity? Or maybe you just want to play first to a certain score? With the ability to create and save your own custom rulesets, there's almost endless fun to be had.
To top it all off ZONERS features an amazing original soundtrack with contributions from CRYSTALBOY, Funk Fiction, Paris Stalker, Robin Hearn, Robkta, Vector U & ViRiX Dreamcore!
