GAME UPDATE - PATCH NOTES 0.1.16

21 Dec, 2024

Patch Notes 0.1.16

Patch 0.1.16 introduces a complete UI overhaul along with a variety of additions, gameplay improvements, and system enhancements. We will also go over the progression of the roadmap going into 2025 right away!

Roadmap

As pleased as we are with the current progression on the roadmap, we’re incredibly excited about what’s on the horizon! We’re aiming to release an alpha version of the Roguelite Campaign 2.0 to our Beta Testers in early 2025. While this will still be a significant work-in-progress, we’ll make sure to incorporate all your feedback as we refine it further. We know we’ve been teasing it for a while, but soon we’ll finally be able to share it with our beloved testers!

If you haven’t already, be sure to join our Discord to get involved and test out all the exciting upcoming features!

UI Rework

As we continue developing the 2.0 version of the campaign, the UI overhaul was a much-needed update. Being able to see your power-ups on each players during a game was a highly requested feature. It was designed with your feedback in mind, and we still need your input! Let us know what you think about it!

The following are toggle-able options in the Settings Menu:

You may now see the team's artefacts and the power-ups of the player currently in control of the puck!

GAME UPDATE - PATCH NOTES 0.1.14

24 Jul, 2024

What's good, everyone! Here are the Patch Notes for 0.1.14!

a lot

But wait... there’s more!

Please note that all the features below are not final. Your feedback is always appreciated to help us continue improving every aspect of the game!

The goalies' AI and physics have been improved in this patch with new animations, movements, and AI tweaks! We've received a lot of feedback lately regarding instances where goalies would allow frustrating goals, be out of position, or not behave properly. We're not giving up on you—here's what's new with goalies this patch!

Shot calculation, reaction, positioning, rebound, and recovery control reworked
Originally posted by author:
Goalies now have better reactions to all types of shots and will recover more effectively to rebounds based on where the puck lands
New goalie animations added, and existing animations polished
Originally posted by author:
New short blocker and glove saves added for when the puck is closer to the body in both standing and butterfly stances. Existing goalie animations have also been polished for better look and performance.
Standing and butterfly gobble animations added for long and weak shots
Originally posted by author:
New animations in butterfly state
Originally posted by author:
Goalies can now butterfly push side to side to better position themselves when the puck is closer. This also improves their effectiveness in handling rebounds and recovering from them.
Goalies will now fetch the puck in the corners if there is no pressure
Improved butterfly-to-standing animations for smoother transitions
Blocker saves now launch the puck into the air more frequently, with improved rebound redirection.
Puck handling animation improvements

manual goalies

Not all AI-controlled goalie saves are available at this time.

Now available in Campaign, Play Now & Shootout mode
Originally posted by author:
Switch to the goalie with LB+A (L1+X on PS controllers, R+Up Arrow on Keyboard). You will remain as the goalie until you press the combo again.
Controls are available for remapping in the Controls Customization menu under Options.
Available movement/saves at this time
Originally posted by author:
Left+Right Pad save, blocker & glove
Left+Right pad to drop into Butterfly - release to stand back up

Shootout Mode

Remember: Use backwards skating and puck flipping to your advantage!

Improved AI on Defense
Originally posted by author:
There were many instances where the AI was mispositioned on defense, and this has been addressed. The AI will now spread out and position properly, creating different shot and play opportunities when entering the offensive zone. This feature is still in development, and we will monitor feedback to continue improving it.
Improved AI on Offense
Originally posted by author:
Previous updates encouraged the AI on offense to take more lower-quality shots, reducing automatic scoring on nearly every shot. While we’ve seen improvement, we’ve made additional tweaks to their shooting patterns, playmaking, and behaviors when entering the offensive zone. This feature is still in development, and we will continue to monitor feedback to keep improving it.
The Princesses
Originally posted by author:
The ultimate gatekeeper of Act 3 has received a small nerf. We understand they had an overwhelming set of tools to keep you from reaching the Golfers. With that said, Joan Ozark and Clementine McShaggy have had their abilities removed. But don't take anything for granted—you’re still one fart away from losing the game!
Added 32 new teams based on professional hockey league cities
Originally posted by author:
Due to popular demand, we've added our own humorous twist to the missing professional team logos and included them in the customizer for you to enjoy! Shoutout to our community member Lastlight for his original work creating the teams and players!
New UI/effect for better puck visibility when it is occluded behind the boards
Camera improvements when following the puck
Added the following new VFXs (Many more are on the way!)

Added the following talents to Skater customization
Originally posted by author:

Customizer menus now sorted alphabetically
Added the 32 new logos in the customizer

Fixed game resolution issues which were being triggered by alt-tabbing or pressing alt+enter
Added control rebinds for manual goalies

Unlockable Characters no longer consist of yellow squares
Or a collection of Pokemon badges...
Spamming Skip Replay no longer causes extra screen wipes on the next face-off
Goalies' faces no longer appear scrambled inside their helmets during certain animations
Fixed visual bugs with players' helmets
Fixed a bug where the player's logos would disappear on certain animations or transitions
Fixed a bug where you could not select a post-game reward
Fixed a bug causing intermittent game crashes after the national anthem when you have the Referee Rumble power-up
Fixed broken glass particles so they now collide with the floor instead of passing through it
Fixed a bug in practice mode where players could control the puck without possessing it

Finally, here is the updated roadmap to give you a glimpse of the progress we've made since the last update. Console porting is progressing well and we can't wait to show you more of the revamped roguelite campaign...starting with some brand new teams in the near future.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Much love from the Tape to Tape Team!
