v0.6.0 - Splitscreen, Level Editor Prototype, and Vulkan

[img=http://i.imgur.com/GErDuAB.gif][/img] Splitscreen co-op has been added, allowing you to play through unlocked levels with friends. We have some big plans for game modes for this mode, so stay tuned. The level editor prototype can be found on the main menu, and while kind of limited and super rough it's the framework for Steam Workshop integration. Any feedback or ideas you want to suggest are more than welcome and would be best communicated through our discord so we can chat about them. Link to that here: Discord Vulkan support has been added as well, currently Windows only with Linux support coming soon. It's slightly experimental, so any issues you encounter please report on the community hub. As long as your graphics card supports it and your drivers are up to date it will work automatically. If you for some reason wish to make sure it is working you can put -force-vulkan as a launch option. Full patch notes here:

  • Vulkan enabled - The game will automatically use Vulkan if your card supports it and your drivers are up to date! If not, it will fall back to whatever you use.
  • Local Multiplayer - Initial release of local multiplayer, currently co-op only with party modes on their way! NOTE: You can only play levels that you have unlocked in single player, we plan on adding the ability to unlock levels in co-op play soon!
  • Level Editor - Initial level editor prototype, any levels made in the current editor will be deleted when workshop support is added, so its just to play around in at the moment.
  • Expect lots of local multiplayer and level editor updates in the comin weeks!
  • Tweaked loading screen to show info about loading level
  • Main Menu buttons in levels now returns you to the relevant level select page rather than the home page

    Polyball is a modern take on classic ball rolling games such as Super Monkey Ball, Marble Madness, and Marble Blast - while taking cues from games such as the Sonic series, Trials, and Mario Kart.

    A BIT ABOUT US...

    The first full release from digital design practice Studio Monolith, Polyball is an experiment in low-poly visuals and open-ended game design. Our approach with the project was to make the kind of game we used to play, something that had both casual appeal and a limitless competitive ceiling. It was also a genre that we felt hasn't been adequately adapted to the modern world of game design. Our vision was simple: build a game that's easy to pick up, hard to master, and fun both on and off screen.

    ...AND A BIT ABOUT POLYBALL

    There's a lot to do in Polyball -- Challenge yourself or a friend to one of over 60 levels included in the initial release, with plans for many more levels via free DLC. If you've got some friends over and are looking for something to play, Polyball's splitscreen multiplayer promises a good time. With classic modes like Battle and Circuit Race, as well as a multiplayer version of the single-player experience, Polyball promises to be a must-have party game.

    CASUAL, COMPETITIVE, OR BOTH

    With global leaderboards built right into the level select menu and pregame screen, you can see where you stand among the worlds best and race against their ghosts. If you're more interested in beating your friends, check out the friends-only leaderboards. Collecting shards during your single-player journey will unlock a vast array of customization options, from different ball models to particle effects. This customization carries over into online multiplayer matches as well as your high-score ghost, with local multiplayer having its own version of the customization system designed for split-screen play.

    FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE

    If you've mastered every challenge we put into the game, take a look at the Steam Workshop content to face a whole new set of challenges. Community made content, from multiplayer battle maps and circuit tracks to customization options and single-player levels, will bridge the gap between developer and player as well as provide a steady stream of new content for you to experience. Steam Workshop gives the players a voice, allowing for the mechanics and level designs of Polyball to stretch far beyond what we had initially put into the game.
