OGAT - Update 92.38 - New Map, New Level Cap and old OGAT Classic Maps return!

Update 92.38 Preview
Hi everyone!
This update contains mixed content, here you will find the summary of the changes, and you can read the details of each topic afterwards.

OGAT r.92.38 changes




Quick map description:
River Village is an unusual map,
is set on a rural jungle place and there are no interactive lights, the ambient is mostly lit by torches and a few static electric lights.
This time the Guards team will spawn in the bottom part of the map.
Movements develops diagonally with only three entrances in the fortified area.

NOTE: For now you need to manually install the map from the in-game map Browser, the map will be added as Featured (installed as default) soon.

MODE COMPATIBILITY:
All modes except SOC and Racing.


We're happy to announce that almost all the old Classic OGAT Map are coming back.
The maps that will be released over the next 2 weeks are,

• Mansion
  
• Military Camp
  
• Police Department
  
• Cemetery

Also CLASSIC VR MAPS will be added back again
Old VR Maps will be probably released with another FREE DLC,
and in addition to maps it will include a new set of VR themed tiles for the map editor.

This survey has the purpose of collecting users' opinion about how the class unlocking system is managed.

In particular the sequence of classes to be unlocked, and the time needed to unlock the complete pool of classes.

Please take your time to analyze the data and think about your proposals.
The changes in terms of gameplay could be very important.
Just think about a "little" change like the move of the Cobra, from a default to advanced class, it means that 80% of players will no longer be able to use the cobra.

These changes will greatly change the balance of the matches, hopefully for the better, and our goal is precisely to try to improve the game experience for both new and old players.

Survey Argument Summary:
- Class Unlock Progression speed
- Class Unlock order

Our main goal is to collect datas and feedback from the entire userbase, both new and old players,

Our main goal is to collect datas and feedback from the entire userbase, both new and old players,



As is clear from the name, this new map is the replacement for the old "Shooting Range" map, no longer available.
The map is structured on various spaces that can be used as a shooting range for primary, secondary and gadget weapons.
The targets show the damage dealt on the screen, this is useful for studying the functioning of the weapons and the behavior of the damage drop over distance.

There is also a short obstacle course with balloons to detonate.





First test on a series of "Challange" maps,
the idea is very simple, complete the path, destroying all the balloons in the shortest possible time.

For now it is a test, so there is no timer and the map can be used within the TRAINING mode.
The idea is to add a dedicated singleplayer game mode, with many different paths/maps/challanges.

If you haven't played it please don't answer this survey, try the game first and think about your consideration, don't jump to any conclusion in seconds but take your time to get confident with the changes.

Also, we're running a series of experimental updates in order to collect datas and feedback from the entire userbase, this is just the round.1.

Survey V.1 Argument Summary:
- Camera Angle
- Camera Offset
- Rebalance Idea
- Features and Content wishlist
- Development consideration

HAVE FUN AND STAY AT HOME!
Thanks!

- Interactive Vegetation
- Improved Weapon shoot VFX
- Improved Debris VFX
- Improved Ragdoll effect on players death
- Added equipment swap animations


- New camera offset system
- Camera angle changed to 65° (was 75°, next test will be 70°)
- 1.2m offset for every weapon
- 3m offset for "sniping" weapon (AVP-Hunting Rifle)

It is a standard for practically all top-down shooter games,
simplifying, the system makes the game camera follow the mouse cursor.
This allows you to add immersion and depth to the gameplay.

OGAT was born with this idea but has never been implemented, we are currently doing tests to integrate this solution and in the survey there are several setup options.

PLEASE NOTE: Rate both the system and the actual setup, values can be changed and different tests will be made with different configuration, such offset range, camera speed, acceleration and more values.

Games with Camera Offset
(Foxhole - Running with rifle - Nuclear Throne - Hotline Miami - Alien Swarm - The Hong Kong Massacre - Enter The Gungeon - Hatred and much more, practically all games have it with slightly different setups)

PLEASE NOTE: All the rebalance changes are in testing, expect further changes soon
- Deploy time changed to 0.3s (was 0.1) and match the animations lenght
- Time between grenades changed to 1.4s (was 1s)

SNIPER REBALANCE
- Sniper HP 72 to 70

CARRIER REBALANCE
- XN8 more precision - improved recoil recover
- Carrier HP 76 to 80

ASSAULT REBALANCE
- N4 damage 24 to 22

GUARDIAN REBALANCE
- Guardian health 120 to 110

PYRO REBALANCE
- Explosive pistol damage 46 to 44
