- SURPRISE DISCO DODGEBALL UPDATE VERSION 10 - 13 September 2026
Hi! It's been a minute.So...I decided to update the game after all these years, and it wound up being one of the biggest updates the game has ever seen. oopsMultiplayer now runs over Steam Networking. This should allow for extreme low latency setup for LANs because it automatically creates a direct connection among computers on the same network. There's no 'regions' any more, all players are in one big lobby list, and you can browse by ping. You can invite friends through Steam Networking and they will automatically join your game. From within a multiplayer match: Menu / Invite Friends. Your current lobby is also part of Steam Rich Presence so friends can join your match from thereImproved syncing / prediction for bots and dodgeballs so it should feel less laggyAdded instant replay system - you get to see how you got KO'd and the final KO of the match is replayed for everybodyImproved b…

- Announcing a new game: Factory Town! - 30 July 2018
I've been hard at work on a new (and completely different) game: Factory Town! https://store.steampowered.com/app/860890/Factory_Town It's a cross between a town builder and a factory management sim. The idea is, you grow your town by automating the collection of resources using conveyor belts, chutes, rails, and logical circuits, maximizing output and solving production bottlenecks along the way. Add it to your wishlist (from the Steam link above) so you can get a notification when it's released! Or join the Discord and follow its progress: https://discord.gg/Gyv3NKJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIynX_OG10Q

- Update 9.1: Diamond level, Tank Battle & Lightning Round modes - 30 August 2017
Big update ready for everyone! http://imgur.com/CrybocP.gif New Level: Diamond Introducing a brand new level called "Diamond". It's a very large level with a giant glowing suspended diamond in the center, surrounded by elevated walkways, an inner pit with mini jumps, and an outer ledge. Tons of opportunities for trick shots and long distance hits. New Mode: Tank Battle This new mode is unique in that each player starts with a health bar that must be whittled down by scoring trick shots on them. Once the health bar is depleted, that player is eliminated! Also all players have fireballs and stronger shots. The lack of catching means you must use level geometry to your tactical advantage and avoid being caught out in the open. New Mode: Lightning Round This is a hyperactive Deathmatch mode where you must go all out in order to win! You get points for KOs, but rounds only last 30 seconds (f…

- Updates 8.0.1 through 8.0.5 - 6 January 2017
Been putting out a bunch of updates over the past few weeks, and I wanted to post an announcement for them for anyone not following along on the Release Notes thread. The big new features are: Steam Friends integration into room search, A room inspector to let you see who's in a room before you join, stackable inventory items, chat scrolling, and a bunch of new video and misc settings to customize your gameplay experience.

- Major update 8.0 (Missions and Badges) now available! - 22 December 2016
This is a huge update that's been in the works for a long time and am very excited to be able to let players finally get their hands on it! It's the "Missions and Badges" update, and it will probably dramatically change the way you play the game. Basically, you're now rewarded with Mission Points for winning matches, earning end-round awards, doing well in Challenges and Arcade mode, and for completing new random skill-based Missions that are assigned to you. More Mission Points will unlock higher-level profile Badges, which unlock new and more challenging missions to complete. It's meant to be a fun meta-game to keep new players around longer and bring new challenges to veteran players. Winning matches will be more meaningful, your moment-to-moment tactics will change based on your Mission incentives, and you'll have a good use for any spare parts or decals laying around.
