You heard that right, we've added a new arena, new goals, and that's right, more balls!


With all the updates we've been bringing to Mad Machines, we realized that the arena was a little behind! To help fix this, we're bringing you a brand new, beautiful arena that is sure to satisfy all your wishes. As an add on to this, we also redid the goals! You will now experience an arch shaped goal that changes the way you play pretty significantly. While you will have a little less room for a top shelf snipe, you'll have more space for the low shots. This should help make goalies a little bit less powerful while keeping gameplay the same.


Ever felt like one ball wasn't enough? Two balls is a little better, but why not more?! Well, with the new training options you can have all the balls you'll ever need! Whether you want to slam your balls at your friends or simply have as many balls to play with as possible, you now can! I hope you brought your sack, because it's gonna take a lot to contain this many balls.


As always, we've refined ball control even more! Since this is literally the main part of the game, we're always tinkering with it and trying our best to make it as perfect as possible. We've also added back bots training so you guys can go nuts and practice on your own! So take to the arena, fight off some bots, and learn the new goals because there's a lot of competition rising in Mad Machines! 

• New arena 
  
• New goals
  
• Advanced Training: Added BALLS
  
• Bots updated for better ball play (more to come)
  
• Bots Training is back
  
• More refinements to ball control
  
• Even more UI fixes

An Easter event is upon us

Go to post.

For the next week, once every in-game day an easter egg hunt will begin. You'll have 3 minutes to collect as many eggs as you can. The top 3 players are given special eggs as a reward. These eggs can be cracked open for various types of loot ranging from scrap all the way up to an M249!

If you don't make the podium, that's okay. The painted eggs you collect can be upgraded to Bronze eggs once you collect 10. If you collect 10 bronze eggs then you can upgrade to a silver egg, eventually all the way to gold!

There are various items available to help you during your hunt. The Easter Basket will allow instant pickup of eggs and the Bunny Onsie and Ears will provide you an advantage via Egg Vision.

I hope you guys enjoy playing this minigame as much as we enjoyed getting it ready for you. Have fun!

We fixed the following bugs this patch:
- Game crashing on launch on certain machines
- Game unpausing during dialogues (which led to issues with panels not closing)
- Players being unable to pass the quest "Earning the trust"
- Game loading incorrectly if particular panels were open

Additionally:
- Tutorial images will replace videos on low settings for low-end machines
- You can now skip the splash screens

"I am the paladin of disease!"
- The Lord of the Flies

Garro and the survivors of the Eisentein are rescued by Rogal Dorn and confined to a stronghold on Luna run by the Sisters of Silence. There, Nurgle's corruption takes over a wounded Death Guard, bringing forth the Lord of the Flies! It's up to Garro, Amendera Kendel and the Loyalist forces to end the Plague God's taint once again.

Balance changes:
A few changes have taken place to improve the balance of the different warlords in the current event.
● Iacton Qruze now has Medium initative and only gains +1/0 from his ability
● Corrupted Grulgor now starts with one extra card in hand.
● Lord of the Flies now ignores Maintenance cost of friendly Daemons.

Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR Beta has been updated to version 1.0.427. This build contains the following changes:

• Improvements to controller latency
  
• Improvements to reliability of the Steam button
  
• Address a set of potential crashes on shutdown

Hello Champions,


We’re extremely happy to see our community growing so quickly. You’ve all been a joy! Welcome to the club! We’ve been hard at work since the last update we posted, which included the first official gameplay trailer. If you haven’t checked it out yet, give it a watch below.




As you likely know, we are planning to run some closed alpha tests very soon. If you’d like to participate and get a headstart in training to become the ultimate football champion, sign up here and join our Discord channel. Oh! Did we mention that there’s a $5000 tournament, too? Grab your friends and get ready to compete!

What can you expect from the Closed Alpha Test?

You’ll be able to explore the first neighborhood, which is mostly inhabited by the working class. There will be a total of 9 neighbourhoods to explore in the game, and each will have diverse offerings and a bunch of unique stories to discover. You’ll be able to see the entire city from a bird’s-eye view perspective. Keep in mind that some areas are still under construction, so you’d best wear a helmet!



Multiplayer matches will take place on a backyard field for this test. Each neighbourhood will have its own football field with differing characteristics, crowds, and time events in the future.



You’ll be able to choose from 4 characters and change their appearances by purchasing clothing from the local store. We’ve added the ability for you to pick your own favorite color for the clothing piece you’re planning to buy. For now, every character will behave in pretty much the same way on the field. The final game will give each one their own unique traits.



We are implementing a ranking system alongside detailed statistics that will offer information about your progression, reputation, and achievements. It’s still a work in progress, so we’d love to hear your suggestions about how we can improve this system, both in terms of the competitive nature of the ranking system and the stats you’d like to see.





Several more improvements have been made based on feedback. Firstly, characters can now sprint! Sprinting depletes stamina, which needs to be managed effectively to ensure it’s available when you need it most. It certainly offers a great bit of strategy. Keep in mind that your stamina also depletes when you have the ball, which we believe will encourage more teamplay.



Also, while we’re on the topic of sprinting, we’re adding some really cool sprinting VFX that can be unlocked. There are plenty to choose from. We want to hear which ones you like most!

We are so excited for the closed alpha test and we can’t wait to hear your feedback. This test is not under any NDA, so feel free to record videos or stream to your heart’s content! Everyone who participates in the early tests will receive exclusive customization content that you can wear with pride. You’ll also be awarded with a special trophy you can place beside the others you will certainly win along the way!



Upon release of the full game, you’ll receive yet another gift in the form of a card with in-game funds on it. You’ll be able to use these funds to purchase clothing or even buy furniture for your apartment. Yup, you heard it right, you’ll be able to buy apartments and customize them in the future!




Before you go, we’d like to ask you for your help. Help us spread the word and invite your friends! With your support, we promise to continue adding awesome new content and improvements and work closely with the community to get things done right.
