- I'm Back! - 22 June 2021
Back from break Bert Gang! Just some bug fixes for now, some are pretty critical so I figured I would throw this update out while I work on fixing more. Changes: Matches no longer start instantly Increased time to pick a class Lowered gun velocities Enemies should no longer be able to score points before a match starts. I have at least one more bug fix update to push out before I start work on features once again so bear with me. As always feel free to bring feedback to our discord: https://discord.gg/jPpPgSjNnn Preciate ya. -Twiggs

Changed the VR menu button to something less stupid. Sightline sorta fixed for NON VR gameplay Going to be taking a slight hiatus for a bit while I work on other projects. If anyone finds something hella broken hit me up on the discord and I'll get on it! Discord: https://discord.gg/jPpPgSjNnn Thanks for reading, -Twiggs
- The BIGUPS Update - 12 April 2021
Its major update time, you know what that means! MAJOR BUGS WOOO. I only have windows video editor plz be nice :( I have successfully jacked into the Matrix and made Pulseball Matrix compatible. To play in VR mode, simply make sure your VR headset is plugged in and run the game. It should detect it automatically and switch. Only training mode is supported right now, competitive and bots coming in a week or two. This is really more of a demo than anything else, I haven't added it to the VR category yet because its so early. Additionally, I have harnessed the power of wormholes, something scientists have struggled to do five-ever. I am using this advanced technology to add a new game mode to Pulseball instead of bettering humanity. Essentially this is a much faster paced game mode. No more "rounds", you score, the ball shoots back through the center wormhole and you keep playing. To try t…
- Quick Maths - 29 March 2021
Hello Bert Enthusiasts, Minor update guy here Been working here in my garage on the big interesting game update -Pretty sick- (BIGUPS) It will not be ready for another week or so though due to who I am as a person. In the meantime I have some basic tweaks to push out as well as a new play option. The "Quick Play" button on the main menu will automatically put you into a game ASAP as possible. "Features:" -Improved gamepad support -Quickplay Button Bug fixes: -B-baller achievement fixed -Hire a friend achievement fixed -Over 9000 achievement fixed Not fixed yet: Volleyball + associated achievement. I have put this on the back burner lately while working on other features that I'm hyped about. It -MIGHT- be worth the wait. At this point I cannot even keep track of what I have changed, The BIGUPS update code is already in there tucked away, I probably introduced a ton of bugs already. Plea…
- Bug fixes + Announcement - 28 February 2021
Hey Bert Gang, Lots of bug fixes since the last update, since it created lots of bugs. Features: Added change class option to the in-game menu Bugs: RoBert works with Classes now RoBert no longer glitches if you try to play two matches Random crashes mostly taken care of Heavy class works now SMG class no longer freezes after scoring a goal SMG class gun sound fixed Matches should start with any combination of players/classes now Now for the Announcement, We sold out. Not really but kinda. A startup reached out to me a while ago to implement intrinsic advertising in Pulseball. This is something I planned on doing once we gained a larger player base, albeit in a more 1v1 capacity with advertisers. Essentially this will work the same way real sports stadiums operate, advertisements around the stadium. No popups, nothing to click on or interrupt you, they will just be there. Currently it w…
- The Class Update - 21 February 2021
We got classes now! Starting with 3, will be adding more as things progress. Right now they all use the same character models with different guns but eventually those will all be changed. Assault- The OG, Nothing changed here Heavy- Shoots a larger, more powerful pulse. Longer cooldown wait. Cannot Sprint SMG- Fully auto, shoots a much less powerful pulse. Bugs fixed: Arrows no longer randomly appear on the screen More netcode tweaks I don't remember what else As always our discord is here: https://discord.gg/gBpUkPZABR Thanks for reading, stay classy Bert Gang -Twiggs
- Smol Update - 26 January 2021
Hey Bert Gang, Just a small update this week. Finally added an arrow to point at the ball when off the screen Shrunk the reload indicator/timer, planning on moving that somewhere else eventually. Tweaked player movement+look acceleration, as well as nerfed speed. Left shift key will now make the character sprint. Not added to the keybindings menu yet. As always any and all feedback is welcome on our discord: https://discord.gg/gBpUkPZABR
- The Robot takeover - 20 January 2021
Hi Bert Gang, Meet RoBert, the new improved A.I to play with. Bert made RoBert while alone in a cave with a box of scraps, he is better than Bert in everyway. Despite this, we will be keeping Bert to play with while hosting a game and RoBert gets his own game mode. So if no one is around to play with, give RoBert a shot! I for one welcome our new robot overlords. No bugs fixed this update that I can remember. I realize this is pretty late, tried to squeeze more content in but that didn't happen. Thanks for reading, Be sure to check out our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/gBpUkPZABR
- Bug Fixes 3: Revenge of the Sith - 13 January 2021
Hello Padawans, fixed many bugs I have. The sightline is still borked though, working on that. Also, it takes a second to load now, I will be adding a loading screen next update, along with a good deal of new features. Bugs fixed: Player gun sometimes wouldn't make noise Key bindings menu not accessible in-game Key bindings in general should work "better" now The floor is no longer broken (floating) Power slider didn't affect power Hockey rink wouldn't always show up Joining a game would sometimes not accept input, resulting in the game being unplayable. Things that might be fixed that I can't test right now: Controller support Changes: Gun power nerfed. Who needs power over 9000 indoors? I also gave Bert more room to run around. He is probably less competitive now but more realistic. If it sucks let me know and I will revert him.
- The Canada update, Eh - 4 January 2021
I added hockey back in eh. That's about it, I was too busy fixing bugs and tweaking things specific for the First Grand National Regional End of the Year Pulseball Tournament Championship. I did retire the puck though, it didn't seem to work as well IMHO. If you want it back be sure to protest at my doorstep....Or just ask. I would like to extend congratulations to INCOGNITUS2 for winning both the tournament and his own custom character for the game. Features: Hockey is back eh Bugs Fixed: Re-worked the netcode a bit Collisions added so spectators are now at less risk of "help I've fallen through the world and I can't get up" As always, our discord is: https://discord.gg/gBpUkPZABR Thanks for reading, -Twiggs
- THE TOURNAMENT COMMENCES - 3 January 2021
IT HAS BEGUN. The First Grand National Annual End of the Year Pulseball Tournament is in full swing. Check out the livestream here: https://www.twitch.tv/twiggsdev Those participating should hit up the discord maybe too.
- The National Annual End of the Year Pulseball Tournament Update - 2 January 2021
HELLO ATHLETES The tournament will be played on a separate build of Pulseball which you can access via these instructions: 1. Go to your steam library, locate pulseball 2. Right click it and select "properties" 3. Go to "betas" and put in the code "extremespots" (no quotes) 4. Download the update and play The main differences are the ability to change teams and longer delays in the beginning of matches which will be more suitable for the tournament. Eventually I will be implementing cleaner code/game/everything, but until that time arrives, this is what we got. Tournament itself: Around 8 pm EST, hop on the discord. We'll do the interviews then hop into the first match together. I have zero idea how much lag will be involved with spectators. If it's unbearable then we will limit the match to the players, myself, and one or two spectators. Discord here: https://discord.gg/kGZfQfukEF Anyo…
- Bug Fix 2 Electric Boogaloo - 26 December 2020
Tons of bugs needed fixing as expected. I did add a couple of new things, walking into the ball will push it more than before, and players can now spectate matches by joining matches that already have enough players, assuming they want spectators. I need to finish the collisions for the stadium where the spectators can move. Just pushing this out so I can have everyone test the rest of it, will be fixed before the tournament Seeing as I have a tenuous grasp of streaming + twitch, I thought it best not to shove more features in this update before the tournament so twitch commands, cheers, etc will not be added until later. Features Added: Players can "Push" the ball easier by walking into it S p e c t a t i n g support! Bugs Fixed: Replaced new keybinding menu with old one Using two movement keys would stick Keybindings wouldn't be applied LOOKHERLOOKLISTEN was glitched, de-glitchified i…

I will be presenting it as if it were a real sports broadcast with goofs and gaffs along the way. The whole thing will be informal and live streamed on twitch. The schedule goes as follows: Introduction @ 8pm eastern standard time Competitor interviews: Short mock interviews with each competitor over discord. (you can opt-out of this if you like) Tournament begins: I am planning on it being a small event, so we will just do each match one at a time. Standard tournament style, winners advance to the next round until there is only one winner. Anyone shoul…
- Upgrades people, UPGRADES - 22 December 2020
The time has come. The Bert gang has ascended to the next level with these upgraded graphics. I made those old assets pack their bags and kicked them to the curb, they're probably in a cardboard box somewhere now. https://i.ibb.co/jMY9wZP/oldvnew.png We have two stadiums to work with here, the outdoor training stadium and the indoor serious stadium where matches will be held. Real tawk, this is a big update. Additionally, with all the changes there are bound to be more bugs, I'm expecting between Fallout 4 and Cyberpunk levels of bugs which is why I need YOU to help me find them, I always welcome any feedback, if you hate all the changes and want the old maps back let me know. In my haste to release this update on time, I have neglected other game modes for the time being. Hockey + Volleyball will be available again next week. Features: Added private match option when hosting a game Add…
- Generic weekly update - 13 December 2020
Hey Bert gang! This weeks theme is chaos because its some bits and bobs that needed to be done and I couldn't find a central theme. Shout out to Lucifer for informing me it was time to add a profanity filter. Didn't know we were that popular yet. I am still working on updating the graphics and open to input, do you guys like the new forcefields or did you prefer the cage? Features added: Added PARTY MODE, Multiplayer training mode. Automatically joins the party, if there is no party available one will be provided for you Added basic profanity filter Added a volleyball net to training mode Added new reload animation around the crosshair so players know when they can shoot Added text to the top corner to help new players find the menu Added tool text and removed "Send" button for the chat box to help players figure it out Added more options to play with in Training mode. (Such as in multi…
- The Tron Guy Update - 8 December 2020
Hey all, in recognition of Cyberpunk 2077 this will be The Tron Guy update, this was totally planned and not a last minute thing I just thought of. Changes: -Ball will now glow brighter when shot -"Pulse" mesh has been changed to something cooler (temporary) -Ugly fencing has been replaced with a forcefield -Added some celebration stuff when you score a goal I went in, hacked the mainframe, and re-conjiggered the code to obtain a substantial FPS increase on lower end PC's too. If new things are broken do let me know. All of this may or may not be part of something bigger to come. Which could possibly be a total graphics overhaul that I had planned for this week but didn't happen. Lastly, We added a bunch of new users this week so I guess I should stop neglecting the fact that we have a discord: https://discord.gg/VXHBNjDM Fixed: https://discord.gg/6KGk85B6JT Sincerely appreciate everyon…
- Bug fix update 1 - 1 December 2020
Hey all, late update guy here. This update isn't much of anything, various minor bug fixes + tweaks. Biggest bug was players wouldn't always be notified when someone hosted a game and needed a player.
