Hello my lovelies, First update in a while huh? I'm sure all 90 of you had me in your mind this whole time haha. I'm kidding of course, but hey, I'm ready to see this through now. Not a huge update today, but some enjoyable additions... New Intro
I finally got round to creating/implementing the last of the assets needed to create the brand new intro sequence. I'm pretty proud of it if I'm honest. Another one of my unnecessary flourishes I guess, but it helps better set the tone and point of the game! New Logos
My old individual and collective logos felt severely out of date considering all the changes I've been through. So I refreshed them to something that will now stick :) New Ref Animations
The match ref now has a few new animations in and out of matches just to add a touch more personality to this helpful character(s) New Sting Text Animations
When you score a Zone Break the old messy text is gone and a new full screen effect happens. On top of this there's also a new slomo text sting display for Extra Time and Sudden Death, just to add a bit more dramatic flair to your proceedings. New Ambient Stage Particles All stages now have new unique ambient particles on them to add a touch of extra atmosphere New Music A new song plays when you get the milestone notifications. What's Next? Well I'm on the finishing straight now. This update is a bunch of fixes and some smaller mostly aesthetic additions, but I've already put quite a few hours into the next update. That one will add a whole new character to play as! After that there are two major game additions to get implemented: Reply saving and viewing in the gallery cinema, and the tons of in game collectable trading cards to collect and view (complete with additional lore!) After after after that... It's getting the remaining missing sounds done and implemented, all the audio levels balanced (I'm aware they are all over the place currently), and then just a thorough bug fixing session. Until next time... Peace & Love Paris x ZONERS v0.5 Patch Notes ADDITIONS
