Hello everyone! Our 2024.10 patch is now live! This update brings several quality of life improvements to the game, including a series of updates to online play for security and performance, as well as a few other minor updates.

• Attract Mode - We've added an option to the game settings to enable Attract Mode, which is off by default. If Attract Mode is enabled, when the game is idle on the menu screen for a minute it will back up to the title screen and demo gameplay attract loop.
• Network Security - This build adds our new network security features to encrypt our network protocol and add protection against bad actors during online play.
• Network Efficiency - In addition to the security enhancements for online play, we've also updated the protocol to reduce bandwidth which should improve the efficiency of online sessions.
• Combo Compensation - We've made some adjustments to the damage scaling curve for combos to prevent combos from reducing damage as aggressively.
• Grappled Interrupt - We fixed an issue that would cause a grappled fighter to continue to be in a grappled state even after the opponent's hold is interrupted, typically by a projectile or delayed attack. Now, fighters will immediately drop the grappled state if their opponent breaks their hold due to being hit.
• Yasu's Roundabout - Yasu's Roundabout attack has been revised with a new input to make triggering it easier while mid-jump. Due to the new input, it no longer features an ES variant, though we may explore this again in a future update.
• Held Input Improvements - Fixed an issue that was causing held inputs not to persist between move executions as intended in certain situations. Now, the last directional held will continue to count toward held inputs even after an attack is triggered, aiding charge attack execution.
• Updated Runtime - We have migrated to an updated runtime for the game that is now using the latest openjdk revision and is more generally supported.
• Various Bugfixes - A few minor bugfixes have been incorporated to address issues with a few UI elements and settings issues that led to poor user experience.

Hello everyone! Our v133 build is now live on the experimental channel! To opt into this build, just open your game properties and switch to the 'experimental' channel under the 'Betas' view:
This channel is intended for early previews and coordinated testing on cutting-edge game features and balancing adjustments. The v133 experimental build's main focus centers around security for online play. Our online protocol has been updated to incorporate encryption into our various network modes, helping to prevent bad actors from negatively impacting online play. For testing, we ask the community to help us run through some online matches to ensure the gameplay experience is consistent. Currently, both players must be on the experimental version to be able to play together. As always, if you do encounter any bugs or issues, please reach out to the team in our official Discord so we can take a look! In addition to the secure protocol, there are a few other minor updates included in the build:

• Network Efficiency - In addition to the security enhancements for online play, we've also updated the protocol to reduce bandwidth which should improve the efficiency of online sessions.
• Combo Compensation - We've made some adjustments to the damage scaling curve for combos to prevent combos from reducing damage as aggressively.
• Grappled Interrupt - We fixed an issue that would cause a grappled fighter to continue to be in a grappled state even after the opponent's hold is interrupted, typically by a projectile or delayed attack. Now, fighters will immediately drop the grappled state if their opponent breaks their hold due to being hit.
• Yasu's Roundabout - Yasu's Roundabout attack has been revised with a new input to make triggering it easier while mid-jump. Due to the new input, it no longer features an ES variant, though we may explore this again in a future update.
• Held Input Improvements - Fixed an issue that was causing held inputs not to persist between move executions as intended in certain situations. Now, the last directional held will continue to count toward held inputs even after an attack is triggered, aiding charge attack execution.
• Updated Runtime - We have migrated to an updated runtime for the game that is now using the latest openjdk revision and is more generally supported.

Hello everyone! Today, we have another small update that addresses several bugfixes:

• Story Mode Crash - We identified and fixed an issue that would cause the game to get hung up during the beginning of Story Mode due to no audio devices being identified by the game.
• Settings Menu Crash - We identified and fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash while performing input remapping in the settings menu if the captured inputs did not match the control type being remapped.
• Settings Menu Improvement - We've improved when the game stores the current settings to ensure they are retained even if the application is force-closed. This should improve some of the reports we've gotten of input remapping or other settings changes not 'sticking'.
• Settings Menu Improvement - We fixed an issue that could cause the mobile edition's control configuration view to display when quickly shuffling through the settings views.
• Build Version Improvement - We have updated the indicator on the main menu to show the full build version, which now includes the version code for each release.

• Bug Fix - This update corrects an issue related to accepting game invites through the Steam friends list.

Hello everyone! We've just launched our 2024.7 update for KONSUI FIGHTER. Here are the highlights:

• Gameplay Updates and Fixes - With this update, we've corrected at least one significant flaw in the core gameplay mechanics that led to unintended damage buffs. We've also adjusted a few of the cornered scenarios we tweaked in the last update to put a little more 'oomph' back into those options.
