SANICBALL: ALPHA V0.4 RELEASED


I’ve been stuck with a laptop, shitty internet and a mild fever for almost a week now. I can’t really do any bug testing and I’d have waited till things were better before releasing, but then I realised: THE WORLD CANNOT GO FAST WITHOUT ME.

So I’m releasing v0.4 anyway.

GENERAL CHANGES AS I CAN’T REMEMBER DETAILS AND FORGOT TO WRITE THEM DOWN:

  • MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT! YES! IT’S HERE! THE WONDERS OF THE INTERNET!

  • A lobby to wait for your slow-ass friends in

  • Character selection! Play as any ball you want! Even Big da Cat! (Don’t play as Big da Cat.)

  • New, work in progress map: Snowy Mountain! Celebrate christmas by going fast on a very unsafe path along the side of a big mountain.

  • New GUI look and pause menu

  • Spectator mode! (we MLG ready now)

  • Lots of changes to the volcano level, now renamed Fire Core as a reference to the amazing Sonic ‘06.

  • Balls now have slight air control to avoid suicidal jumps

KNOWN BUGS!

  • The game will get stuck if you join a server still counting down

  • The AI is still stupid and has a supernatural ability to get stuck even on flat terrain

If anything major pops up I’ll try to fix it, but for now, Merry Christmas! Hope you have fun.

Stay updated on all things Sanic at the devblog.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)
