Update 1.1.1


This update focuses primarily on AI modifications and improving a single player experience for new users.  A user coming across the game online should have enough fun to be interested in using the deeper features of the game and playing with a friend.  Here are the major updates made to the game:

  1. The controls are shown on screen in several places.  Home screen shows the user how to navigate the menus.  Game controls are shown while counting down for a face off as well as with the in game menu.
  2. Menus can be controlled by all players at the same time.
  3. During play, the AI will Bodycheck.  It will use the goaltender to pass forward.  It will respond to possession changes.  It will prioritize goaltending in defensive situations.  It will recognize when the puck is travelling towards it's net and respond.

The best way to enjoy this game is with a friend using gamepads [PS4, XBoxOne, or newer] with the game running on their machine locally.  General gameplay enhancements:

  1. Fixes the "puck teleports through walls and net" bug. 
  2. Players can choose sides during the game
  3. Adds statistics menu which keeps track of hits, shots, passes, and saves
  4. Fixes game logic around face offs, sudden death, and out of bounds cases.  
  5. Adds more announcer sound bytes for passes and reactions to hits.
  6. Player can press Triangle(PS) / Y(Xbox) / T(keyboard) to play a "Trash Talk" sound byte
  7. Puck location indicator doesn't disappear unexpectedly.

This game can also be played by connecting a controller to a mobile phone [Android, iOS].  Should a version of the game ever be created which is online, this could be fantastic.  I would love for it to get to the point where I can play this when travelling through airports.  Open it on my phone, connect my controller, play online against real opponents.  Pray for it.
