Very happy to announce that Disco Dodgeball REMIX is now live! It's a free expansion to the game that allows you to mix & match all kinds of game rules in order to create your own custom game modes.
For example you can create:
A deathmatch mode where it's always low gravity and everyone has laser balls
A mode where there's no dodgeballs but everyone can bulldoze each other
A mode where there's 24 huge dodgeballs that are super bouncy and you have to score ricochets
A mode where one team has to score 3 Helicopters before the other team completes a checkpoint course or scores a hoop
As you can see, it's pretty open-ended. You can play a mode any time as you're working on it, and when it's done publish it to the Steam Workshop where anyone else can download it and use it to start their own online or offline matches. Or, just start up your own online match and other players can join it freely without having to download anything.
Here's some current Workshop examples: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=270450§ion=readytouseitems&requiredtags%5B%5D=Game+Mode
On top of that, there's many new game modes for you to play. These are 'Expert' modes and can be viewed by changing your room type to Expert.
Galaxy Jam - Hoops with Jetpacks, Pogo Jumps and KO bonus scores
Duck Hunter - (Challenge Mode) score Duck Hunt KOs with boomerang ball against jetpack enemies
Attrition - Elimination but each player has 3 lives
Lasers v Jetpacks - One team has laser balls, the other team has Jetpacks
Hoop Defense - One team is trying to score a Hoop, the other must stop them for 60 seconds to win round
Headhunter - Elimination but you can only win by scoring the most KOs
Kart Race - A pure racing mode with no dodgeballs
Hunters v Hunted - One team must survive for 60 seconds, the other team must eliminate them.
And these other changes:
Gameplay
Blocking defaults to off, but can be enabled via Arena Modifier on match settings panel
Shortened distance required for Air Strike and Duck Hunt KOs
Increased distance requirement for Top Gun
MultiKill is now a score bonus (like Combo or On Fire) instead of its own KO type
Improvements
Updated to DirectX 11 for increased performance
Menus made more readable ( less transparent)
Improved glow
Improved screen reflections
Improved bot gibs
Hard bots won't just move towards you when they have a ball and are targeting you
Bug Fixes
Fixed issue where turning off bot gibs didn't deactivate them
Fixed spawn shields in Elimination fading before round started
Hope these new features give you tons more to do in the game and as always, feedback & suggestions are always welcome on the Steam forums. Cheers!
Erik
P.S. The game is also 60% off currently, so if you have some friends that are interested they may want to know about that! [ 2015-09-26 20:01:51 CET ][ Original post ]
