Environments, Masks, Paddles, and More

27 July - Ansatz

There are now 5 playable environments! Studio, Desert, Winter, Void, and Museum.

Void is a special environment in that it's empty but allows you to use your own 6 images to define the skybox, simply replace the images in the game folder under "Assets/Resources/VoidEnvSkybox/"

In addition, there are now vastly improved graphics quality options under the settings menu and each environment has its own savable options because they vary in resource demands. If your graphics card can handle it use "Ultra" settings to see the game in a higher quality than previously possible.

In multiplayer, there is now a practice break right before every match and rematch where the environment can be changed and both players will be placed into the same environment, during matches environment switching is deactivated.

There are now also a selectable variety of masks and paddles to choose from under the settings menu.

We have also been hard at work revamping the collision, physics, and multiplayer systems in anticipation of cross platform multiplayer and overall improved experience.

On a more technical front - we have rewritten the physics and multiplayer code to use up a lot fewer resources and bandwidth. If you thought that rolling the ball on the paddle was impressive before, you should try it now. No more is the collision detection simply "good enough".

Coming up Next:

in the coming days, expect to see various iterative updates to the game including a beta release of a brand new multiplayer system. We can't roll it out straight to the master branch as we have very little idea about how much load it would require.

We have not forgotten any issues raised by anyone. As always, please continue communicating with us on the forum. It is possible that in making such larger releases, we miss a bug or two. Please let us know and we'll fix it post haste.

Happy Ping Ponging,
Eleven dev team.

-------------------

I'm sorry I broke physics, I won't do it again

There are 2 ways to determine how fast your paddle is moving. One way is not a very good way, but happened to be the default - for all of the new paddles. Oops.

It was 1 check box away from being the good old physics we all love.

Just pushed out a small patch to fix this issue, and to fix an issue some people were having about the balls falling off of platform levels and not being reachable.

Note
I am seeing that people are having issues with points in MP being incorrectly assigned. I haven't had a chance to see this. If this, or any other bug happens to you mid game, remember to save the replay, and send it to my email so i can analyze it. (carrotstien@gmail.com)

I would like to confirm that the new updates have resolved the issues I found below. Great job devs!

Aren't the new stages a little bit dark? I mean I could use some more brightness maybe

wachaser9, please send me your logs. (output_log.txt) to carrotstien@gmail.com. The stuttering might be due to a bunch of errors being sent to the log file.

Warchaser a physics patch is already in the works out soon maybe later than tonight, and the ball colors are already added on our side probably out tonight. We will look into the garbage collection stutters

Personally I felt the physics before were near perfect in the old version. So there might need to be a little more tweaking there. Still overall not too bad and the new places are pretty cool. One other recommendation would be to maybe help differenciate the color of the ball and the new backgrounds of the levels more. The ball can blend in too much sometimes and it makes it hard to focus on it in high speed games. I've had no problem on the original level.

I'm running a gtx970 , 16GB ram, and i7 4790k and i've noticed a few stutters randomly that can be quite annoying on "medium" settings. I played it a lot before the update without those issues. It's smooth like 95% of the time until randomly it will start to stutter really bad for like 5 to 10 seconds and then clear itself up as if garbage collection just kicked in or something. However those 5 to 10 seconds will guarentee the loss of a point. It seems to happen every 5 to 10 min. or so. The physics also feel very odd now. I tend to feel like the ball either bounces off the paddle much too little or too much as if there is very definate line. Hit the ball slightly? Feels unnaturally too little of a bounce. Hit the ball slightly more? The ball excells much faster than expected. The threshold feels too dramatic.

Following up on the forums with you, and keep an eye out for the follow-up patches to address the issues.

been playing since first release , game is fantastic but since the update a bloody nightmare , keep loosing the ball and its really quite buggy .i have the feeling that the physics are not right as i am missing very easy shots now .

Scaryrobot a 1060 is more powerful than a 970 which is what I play on and it runs wonderfully, please follow up with us on the forums and your full pc specs.

This has sadly brought a huge reduction in performance and frame rate for me, even on 'simple' graphics and 0.7 sampling. The movement of the ball has become jerky and thus it's no longer possible to play. (GTX 1060)
