| Announcing a new game: Factory Town! | 2018-07-30 | 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 | 2017-08-30 | 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 us |

| Updates 8.0.1 through 8.0.5 | 2017-01-06 | 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.

| Major update 8.0 (Missions and Badges) now available! | 2016-12-22 | http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/5831165/d03e4478f324703572dbf866261ced1206aae753.png 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, w |

| Update 7.5.0 released: New server regions and game mode playlists! | 2016-11-23 | Finally got a chance to add some often-requested features in this one. Most importantly, you can now select from the servers US West (San Diego) Canada East (Montreal) and South America (Sao Paulo). This will give a much better online experience for players closer to those regions. You can also now create a 'Playlist' of game modes (or levels). Holding down Left Control will allow you to select multiple items on the match settings menu, and your mates will shuffle between these options. So if you want to create a room that only cycles between Hoops and Elimination, or whatever number of classic, expert, or custom modes, you can do that! This |

| 7.4 "Mega Content Patch" update is here! | 2016-08-04 | 7.4 was just made available to all players. It has a ton of new content, improvements, and fixes. New Levels http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/5831165/83c14b310fddd26014ea26fa6c2de6e079aca07d.png This is Fort. It's a throwback to the classic Mario Kart 64 multiplayer level Block Fort, remade and optimized for Disco Dodgeball. The one big difference is there's a route onto the forts from near the middle, and of course the addition of glowy LED lights. It adds a lot of verticality to the combat and confers a great advantage to those able to maintain the high ground. It's particularly good for objective-based m |
