I'm happy to announce the [return] of co-op play to Disco Dodgeball!
- You can now select any of the challenge modes as an option within the Create Multiplayer Match menu. (You will need to enable 'expert options' on the same menu first.). This allows up to 4 human players to battle bots cooperatively and go for high scores on the co-op leaderboards.
- If you want to search for a co-op challenge room, go to the Find Match panel and check 'Show Expert'. Challenge rooms are designated 'expert rooms' which are hidden by default to new players to avoid confusion. Eventually, I'll build and enable all kinds of crazy game mode options (many based on your feedback) and place them safely in these expert rooms.
Some balance changes:
- Fireballs no longer turn neutral after one bounce. They do lose their fireball power after one bounce.
- The Kingpin can now accumulate powerups while they are the kingpin, instead of having their auto-granted powerups wiped out.
- In Team Kingpin the player is granted Homing Dodgeball instead of Boomerang to encourage team passing.
And other fixes / features:
- AFK timeout kick after 5 minutes (only applies if you are on a playing team, not spectators)
- Game checks for availability of new multiplayer compatibility version when loading Multiplayer options, to prevent confusing fragmentation of playerbase
- If name has only symbols and would otherwise appear blank, it will appears as 'Player'
- Fixed wheel not rotating on multiplayer-synched bots
- Fixed new cosmetic items not getting proper illumination
- Handles Steamworks login fail more gracefully
- Colliders removed from ceiling light boxes in Airborne and Chasm
- Fixed room name not appearing on in-game menu
Enjoy!
