27 new national teams

Customizable passes

• Assisted only - making manual passes won't be possible at all, good for kids.
• Assisted preferred (default) - assisted passes by pressing A/S keys or A/X buttons and manual pass by holding Shift/LT when passing.
• Manual preferred (reversed) - manual passes by default by just pressing A/S keys or A/X buttons and assisted passes by holding Shift/LT when passing.
• Manual only - assisted passes won't be possible at all, good for advanced players.

• Updated layout of the controller configuration screens, grouped controls by type, added headings.
• Added ability to clear key assigments by pressing Delete/Backspace.

• No slow-motion when the ball changes direction and isn't heading into a goal anymore.
• Fixed black holes after slide tackles in goals on the Indoor and Ice rink stadiums.
• User performing goalkeeper's slide tackle takes control of the goalkeeper if he traps the ball (previously random user took control).
• Sliding into a goalkeeper with a ball results in a hit state for the sliding player (like hitting a goal post).
• Fixed invalid positioning of the ball-magnet's sparks.
• Displaying gameplay hints on the loading screen.
• Displaying legend under tables in some tournament screens.
• Added 6 additional loading screen illustrations.

Stay tuned, v0.8.2 should land in the next week. Steam | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Official Site

Hi all!

Hi all!

Some tips regarding GIF making

• Kopanito creates rather too large GIFs for some social platforms. You can apply lossy compression on ezgif.com to greatly reduce image's weight.
• You can pause a match at any time and generate a GIF from the last 8 seconds, so not only goals can be shared!
• Generated GIF's resolution is 25% of game's resolution. You can press F11 to switch to windowed mode and make the game's window smaller, this way your GIFs will be smaller too (helps if making the animation is taking too long on your PC).

Hi all!

Full list of changes since v0.8.0

• Added Indoor stadium and Indoor Cup to the game (see previous news).
• Reduced possibility of players being stuck in a goal's net (thanks GamBif, Da Pappa, NarcissusLovesEcho, Lee, Frank16Gr and others).

• Fixed goalkeeper becoming idle during practice in rare cases.
• Fixed players running in-place when colliding with goal's net.
• Fixed no fans on stadiums in rare cases (thanks L!V3RPL).
• Fixed player avatars appearing on the wrong side of the screen (thanks FUDO).
• Fixed 'Team not found' error.
• Fixed too early stopping challenge after a tournament match causing the error "Cannot read property 'progress' of null" (thanks Mamedovic).
• Fixed cancelling GIF generation not working (thanks FUDO).
• Improved goalkeeper's behaviour when intercepting the ball.
• Reduced maximum distance when searching for lobbies (only players in the same world region can be selected for a match).
• Improved the Indoor stadium: better collisions with walls, ball is more bouncy and has reduced friction. A frozen player shouldn't go through a wall when pushed. Some minor visual tweaks.
• Fixed extended slow-motion when freezing a player performing super-shot (thanks Servasky).
• Fixed no slow-motion during replays (thanks FUDO).
• Fixed unlocking condition for the Continental League, in some cases it was unlocked too early.

Hi all!

Known issues

• No Linux build yet. We had some technical difficulties regarding the Linux build, so it's not updated and remains at v0.6.3. We'll solve this in a several days.

• In rare cases there may be no fans on the stadium, only empty seats. If you experience this, then please report on the forum.

Hi there!

• Optimized collision checking between players and goal's net.
• Preserving leaderboards statistics when player's profile is reset (thanks Bro).
• Fixed rare issue with empty stadium seats.

Since there are a lot of new players in the game due to sale, we've decided not to scare them off with an unpolished build, so we've rolled back to v0.5.1, which runs smoothly. The performance problems in the v0.6 are not solved yet and won't be for some time, because it's a very complicated issue. Very sorry for that! To implement game state recording for goal replays we needed to turn parts of our code upside-down. These changes were needed for the online multi-player support and more such changes will be made in future. And it doesn't matter what GPU you have, this issue is unrelated to GPU performance. The latest version 0.6.2 is still available in the BETA branch on Steam, you can switch to it freely, no access code required. Now you have a choice. Very sorry for the inconvenience! http://store.steampowered.com/app/399820/ Steam | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Official Site

• Fixed left side of the leaderboards screen flickering when the table on the right side is scrolled.
• Changed labels on the draws button in the friendly match settings menu from "On"/"Off" to "Draws Allowed"/"Golden Goal".
• Fixed always activating keyboard in the practice mode. Now the controller last used in menus is activated by default.

• Limited number of players to only one in the practice mode to simplify things (so we could display only one set of most important keys).

• Corrected typo in the Team Work challenge description (thanks Monkey Jug).
• Small accuracy improvements in AI shooting with the precise shot.
• A lot of other fixes and minor improvements, but some regressions too.

 
Hi all! Price of the game will go up by 20% on the next monday, 7 March. If you didn't buy the game yet, then now might be a good time to do so. We know that no one likes this (unless you've already bought the game), but this was already planned since game's launch in Early Access several months ago. An excerpt from Kopanito's store page: “The game's price is based on current set of features and as more features are included, then price will gradually rise.” Below is a list of changes since September 2015:

• Achievements and customizable tournaments
• Trading Cards
• Leaderboards and match challenges
• Difficulty levels, more tournaments and teams, Linux support, localization
• And a lot of other minor features and fixes

• Online multi-player
• Goal replays
• Few more supermoves and other smaller gameplay additions

Hello!

Frame-rate issues

Match challenges and achievements

• Fixed the slide score challenge being marked as completed even when a scorer was sliding without the ball (thanks MonkeyJug).
• Fixed the supershot from penalty area challenge/achievement (thanks MonkeyJug).
• Fixed the clean slide tackles challenge/achievement (thanks PoDuHa-MaTb 3oBeT).

Other fixes

• Fixed no one celebrating when a goal was scored using the ball magnet super-move.
• Professional and Legend AI better steal the ball when an opponent is shooting using the precise shot.
• Added ability to pick stadiums and balls in custom tournaments. Added new stadium choice "team stadium" which picks stadium based on selected teams' continents.
• Slightly increased clock's font size to improve readability.
• More randomized matches in group stages and leagues (thanks MonkeyJug).
• Better way of hiding mouse cursor when starting the game (thanks Keenic).
• Tweaked menu scrolling (still not perfect, but more stable and a little better).
• Changed default custom tournament match time to 4 minutes.
• Fixed number 1 being applied to field players sometimes (thanks MonkeyJug).
• Changes height of progress bars in the trophy room.
• Corrected medal for the legend mastered achievement.
• Updated AI icons in the friendly match settings menu screen.

What's next?

Hello! Here's a little sneak peak of a new super-move which will be available in the next update. If you can't wait and want to see it in action now, it's available in the beta branch. Keep in mind that this is still work in progress and probably has lots of bugs to squash. We're looking forward to reading your opinions and suggestions on the forums.

After the updates in the past few months (AI levels, leaderboards, achievements, etc.) our top priority now is online multi-player. This is a big thing for us and we'll require probably 3 months for this, details will come out in a few weeks. Game's release is planned on May 2016 with online multi-player built-in. Early Access has extended (was planned to end in December 2015), but we believe that's a good thing. You'll be able to play online friendly matches with your friends or unknown players on Steam. Possibly mixing local and online multi-player. So for example 2 players at one PC could play against other 2 players over the Internet. Matches 5 vs 5 should be possible too. That's the plan, hopefully will be realized fully and in time. You'll be notified about any progress soon. Note, that we'll develop other features and fixes too in this time, but these may be published less often from now on. Possible features are new super-moves, as these are relatively 'cheap' to implement and goal replays as a byproduct of online multi-player. In the meantime you can talk about Kopanito with your friends, try local multi-player with them, maybe organize a tournament during a party. This way you'll be able to post better feedback to us and promote the game a little, which is important too. http://store.steampowered.com/app/399820/ Steam | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Official Site

Match Challenges is a new feature in the game, added in v0.4, few weeks ago. These challenges activate only in tournament matches and give you additional fame points for performing some specific tasks during a match (more fame = better position in leaderboards). Some challenges are easy, some are hard and there are nearly 30 of them already and more will come in future. Example challenges already included in the game:

• Obtain 30% slide tackle accuracy
• Dribble for at least 15 seconds without losing the ball
• Hit at least 2 opponents with a single slide tackle
• Score a goal by dribbling past the goal line with the ball
• Cancel a shot using the ball magnet
• Many more...
