Version 0.2.7 is now live on the pre-release branch!

It’s been a busy few weeks here at Valiant, with our devs hard at work adding new features to the game, and squashing some of the more troublesome bugs we’ve encountered in testing. This week we’ve been focused on improving stability in preparation for releasing the first batch of these new features out into the wild. The result is Gyrodisc Super League v0.2.7, which is now live on our Steam pre-release branch ready for testing. The biggest new addition is the release of our third playable character, the veteran Gyrodisc champion Ivar Vidarsson! Ivar is a giant of the game (in more ways than one), and his larger catch box and powerful throws make him a formidable opponent on court. Unfortunately he’s not as spry as he once was, so you’ll need to plan carefully if you don’t want to get caught out by those tricky overhead lobs. Other notable changes include a number of animation improvements (such as unique character specific idle and diving animations and an improved catch and throw sequence) a simple ‘Tutorial’ screen to explain some of the game’s core controls, and a new ‘Exact angle’ control option that aims to map your throwing angle more closely to the actual analogue stick direction (rather than the current ‘normalised’ system that spreads the possible angles across the whole stick range). Check out the full patch notes below for a more comprehensive list of the changes. As ever we look forward to hearing your feedback on the discussion forum, and please report any bugs you encounter in the relevant Report a Bug forum so we can get to them as quickly as possible.

Patch notes:

Gameplay:

Added a third playable character to the Gyrodisc Super League roster: Ivar.
Added a new ‘Exact angle’ option (available in the control options screen), which removes the normalisation from the throwing angle when using controllers.
Diving into other players now causes them to lob the disc up in the air, instead of instantly dropping it.
Player’s are now briefly invincible after being hit by dives

Bug fixes:

Players can no longer accidentally remove themselves from a team after selecting go on side select
Fixed some issues where the disc could escape the court in rare cases
Fixed an issue where players could sometimes be hit in the back of the head by the disc from incorrect angles

Animation:

Added unique idle animations for all characters.
Added unique diving animations for all characters.
Added an improved catch and throw animation sequence.

Engine:

Updated to the latest unity version release to fix some texture corruption issues when changing display resolutions.
Closer integration with Steam to pave the way for later features.

UI / Menus

Added a new ‘tutorial’ screen, with some handy illustrative videos of the various moves available in Gyrodisc.

Gyrodisc Super League is a bright, colourful arcade sports game for up to 4 players. Players compete in a lightning-fast futuristic sport that’s a blend of air hockey, tennis and volleyball. The rules may be simple, but victory is seized through quick reactions and devious mind games!

Features

Fast-paced local multiplayer: Compete with your friends in thrilling competitive versus matches for up to 4 players, or add AI opponents to get in some much needed solo training. We plan to add new game modes throughout early access, including an arcade style story mode, and mini games!
Singles and doubles gameplay: Take on your opponent solo in classic singles matches, or battle it out in teams of two in hectic doubles games, where a combination of individual skill and team tactics will win the day.
Choose your character: Choose between two unique player characters, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and a powerful signature throw. More player characters will be added throughout Early Access!
Choose your Arena: Select from 5 distinct court setups at launch, with their own arrangement of goals, score boosts and obstacles that change the layout of the Gyrodisc Super League Arena. New courts and arena environments will be added throughout Early Access, allowing you to mix and match the visual and gameplay style of your matches.

Gameplay

Using all the moves at your disposal is key to victory in Gyrodisc Super League!

Run, dive, catch and throw to keep the disc out of your goal and send it soaring towards your opponent’s.
Lob the disc over your adversary’s head to catch them off guard.
Throw the disc the instant you catch it for a high-speed perfect return. Chain perfect returns together and the disc gets faster and faster!
Advanced moves including looping curved throws and wild special throws.

Use these tools together to wrong-foot your opponents and keep them guessing!
