Hello players! Round one of leaderboard enhancements is ready for prime time. Solaroids will now show Daily, Weekly, and Monthly scores.
During the EA V1.2.4.0 update last week that released the early version of the Vector mode, I also put in behind the scenes work in to start collecting scores for some additional leaderboards. This includes Daily/Weekly/Monthly boards that are like the First Credit and Any Credit boards that are already established, but also starts recording scores for Control Style specific leaderboards (not exposed yet in-game as I'm working out details on where and how I want to display them).
Anyway, this update allows the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly First Credit / Any Credit leaderboards to be displayed in game. They show up on the left side of the main leaderboard display where the local leaderboards show. That area now cycles between Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Local boards, switching every 5 seconds.
Don't forget to come visit me in real-time on the (Solaroids Discord Server[discord.gg]), and give me your thoughts about what would make the Best Asteroids Style Space Shooter on the planet. Also, don't forget to sign up on my Early Access Page[www.solaroids.com] to be notified at full launch across all platforms.
I hope you enjoy the new boards, and stay tuned for more tweaks related to leaderboards soon.
Cheers and happy blasting!
