Hello everyone!

Second hotfix after the update 0.3.1.0, this time we switch to 0.3.1.2! Our AIs needed a makeover ːsteamhappyː

• Sometimes the AIs were all the same color as the mushroom. It was a little problematic, we fixed it

See you soon!

Hello again everyone! ːsteamhappyː

A small hotfix was required after this update, here is the detail.

Hello everyone!

As promised, we are accelerating the pace of updates a little bit ːsteamhappyː
BattleCore Arena 0.3.0.1 contains mainly nice finishes, but also a little more Core customization, and as always some bug fixes.

• The connection to a current game has been reworked: now you will have a preview of the AI you are replacing, and after 3 seconds you will take its place. Thanks to this, no more unpleasant surprises by joining a game in progress ːsteamhappyː
  
• At the beginning of the game and at each respawn, your Core is now invulnerable for 3 seconds (or until you shoot), to avoid being ejected too quickly, without understanding what’s happening
  
• Artificial intelligences are now collecting shield bonuses, they won't be so easy to eject anymore!
  
• You can change the crosshair in the center of the screen! A circle? A cross? As you wish!

• The training interface has been modified to give you more freedom

• 4 new Cores are available in the workshop! Play to unlock them ːsteamhappyː
  
• A new light is also available!

• New musics are appearing in BattleCore Arena! Feel free to tell us what you think! A music player has appeared to give you the title of the current music, or to skip to the next one

• Connections and disconnections no longer cause problems in the new game mode
  
• The cows are properly absorbed by the alien ship

We'll see you in a little while for a new update! See you soon!

Hello everyone!

Today, we updated BattleCore Arena to its 0.3.0.0 version, which introduces a little rework of the game! Indeed, you'll notice that some mechanics has been redesign for your own sake ːsteamhappyː
A little preview of the important points: shield bonuses, something new in the game modes, a brand new interface and a taste of what's next!

• We say goodbye to the Juggernaut mode. From the feedbacks we received, it was the least popular game mode and we preferred to remove it from the game to focus on the main game mode (and the others that are coming in ːsteamhappyː)
  
• Speaking of game mode, the classic 3v3 mode has been somewhat modified: it becomes the 3v3 Backups mode! Each team has 10 backup points, and reappearing after a death costs one backup point. When a team has no more backup points, it is impossible to reappear, and the remaining players are left alone in their team for a final rise in tension!

• The entire game interface has been redesigned and is now more pleasant and ergonomic, both in game and out game menus. We hope you will enjoy this new style!

• Shield bonuses have appeared on both arenas! Collect them to instantly regenerate 30% of your shield!
  
• The projectiles now hit the Core's shield, instead of the Core itself, so when you no longer have a shield, you are more difficult to hit. It doesn't seem like much, but it's a difference that you can feel.
  
• We now see the other players through the walls, in addition to seeing their names.
  
• You can now change the settings of your camera! Closer? Further away? FOV? It's your choice!

• It's daylight during the tutorial!
  
• The emotes are animated!
  
• The projectiles have a visual impact, and it looks good.
  
• Lots of bug fixes!

• 2 new game modes: Free for All, and Backups 2v2v2! Details will be available in a few days on our social networks!
  
• You will be able to replace the Blast by other skills, to diversify the gameplay!
  
• A lot of things we keep to ourselves for the moment ːsteammockingː

Hopefully, the rate of updates should increase in the coming weeks, so don't get too far away! ːsteamhappyː

Thank you all for your support, and see you next time!

Cosmic Ray Studio team.

Hi everyone! ːsteamhappyː

As promised, today is the day of the BattleCore Arena's update!
A lot of new things here, summed up by categories.

• Artificial intelligences: no more empty games while waiting for other players! From now on, every game will be filled with our brand new AI, which adjust themselves to your skill level! However, be careful: the strongest ones could surprise you ːsteammockingː
  
• New arena: a spaceship conducts strange experiments on cows from a far away planet, and you’ll be able to eject your opponents in a whole new decor! Enjoy!
  
• Ranking system: play and win to climb the ladder and show your friends what you are capable of! Three different ranks are accessible: Bronze, Silver and Gold.
  
• Lobby system: invite your friends to play with you, and enjoy the new finding games interface!
  
• Training mode: test your skill in custom offline games!
  
• The customization system has been enhanced with 5 new cores and 3 new armors! Also, you can now change your core's light animations too!
  
• Addition of a new and more realistic sound management system.

• The game will no longer have issues if you run it while not being connected to Steam, or even to the internet.ːsteamfacepalmː
  
• The name of the killer will be displayed, throughout a kill.
  
• The death camera is now turning around the arena, instead of staying stationary above it. Show some energy, for heaven's sake!
  
• New loading screen, picturing the new arena.
  
• Throughout your first BattleCore Arena's launch, the game will ask you if you want to begin the tutorial.
  
• In the customization, you can see how to unlock items by hovering your mouse over them.
  
• Addition of several UI sounds.
  
• Fix of some texts and translations.
  
• Billions of bug fixes (at least).
  
• Technical and visual optimisations.

• The juggernaut now has bigger projectiles, so it's easier for him to hit his opponent!
  
• The blast cooldown of the juggernaut has been reduced.
  
• The blast projects the enemies slightly upwards, to get them off the ground a little, in addition of the usual impulse.
  
• It's no longer possible to catch up on Trinity Island mountain while falling (sorry ːsteamsadː).
  
• When you respawn after a death, your core is now pointing the center of the arena, to help you getting your bearings. It's also much rarer to respawn near an other player.
  
• The time to take part in a kill rose from 5 to 7.5 seconds.
  
• The camera shakes are less violent.

On top of that, we have prepared for you a new trailer, to celebrate this update!

Hello everyone! ːsteamhappyː

After many months without any news, we come to you to tell you that no, BattleCore Arena isn't dead, quite the contrary!

Indeed, our team has been working for months on new features and new content, which should be available for testing, we hope, within a couple weeks.

This new update will include, among others :
- a new map,
- new cores,
- a party system, which will allow you to create teams up to 3 players before joining a server,
- an AI, with several levels, which will help filling the servers and will adapt itself to the players' levels,
- a training system, which will allow you to try out the maps and to train against an AI that suits your level,
- a ranking system, with 3 main levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold) and 4 subclasses,
- new armor appearances,
- a new and more ergonomic game launching interface,
- and also improvements and new features in the interface.

With this update, we've tried to answer the most urgent needs and your most important requests.
Finally, we can let you know that we're still actively working on a communications campaign in order to make our game more widely known.

Thanks for your support, and we hope we'll see you in the arena!

Hi everyone!

Little hotfix today:

• The smileys key binding works great! You just have to configure it at the first launch
  
• If you leave a Free Mode server, it won’t launch the game just after the arrival of another player anymore
  
• Fake Enemies in the tutorial have the right amount of shield

That’s all for now, see you in the arena ! ːsteamhappyː

Cosmic Ray Studio team.

Hello again, everyone!

This update will fix bugs caused by the last one. Here’s the list:

• Spectators won’t spawn in total void anymore
  
• The “Find me a game” button won’t let you down anymore
  
• The servers are correctly limited to 6 players at the same time

About the smileys binding, the fix should be here by tomorrow! ːsteamhappyː
