- Fixed a crash when entering a sub-menu in options during gameplay when dialogue is onscreen
- Fixed a floor gap in Stage 5
- Added new hitspark to fully-charged Buster shot
- Fixed unintended behavior of Buster; Buster shots now properly lose power when destroying and passing through an enemy, and the bullet's visual appearance will downgrade to show the remaining amount of power. (Previously, the Buster shot would not lose power and only stop upon hitting an enemy that could fully deplete it.)
- Removed unintended behavior of ARMS able to strafe while Gravity is selected
- Added a sound effect when switching between Main/Alt Weapon
- Added a sound and visual effect when THRUST METER finishes charging
- Reduced volume of sound and added visual effect when LANCE+ ARMS charge-up attack is ready
- Reduced WAVE ARMS fire rate and adjusted bullet sprite to improve visibility (no change to DPS)
- FIREBALL ARMS sound effect priority adjusted

Balance Adjustments:
1. The initial bankroll for all players is reduced by 1000
2. The repairer was changed to a T1 unit
3. Repair helicopters changed to T2 units
Feature Updates:
1. Remove the original unit panel in the lower right corner
2. Added the function that when the mouse is moved over the terrain and units, the lower right corner will display the brief information.

• User Interface: Tutorial videos can no longer show up on top of badge selection screens.
  
• Badge Chests: Fixed an issue that caused Loki Badge Chest to spawn twice.
  
• Updates: Introduced a version check, this will help prevent save files from corrupting in future updates.

Greetings, players.

I can't believe we're only two weeks away from the release of Touhou Kourinden ~ Mythos of Phantasmagoria. The achievements are already programmed into the game and are all working. Aside from patching a few last-minute bugs, we're all set and ready for May 3.

However, we did make one significant change and that is the villainous group's name. If you have played the demo, you may recognize the villainous organization goes by the name of the Gensokyo Socialist Order. However, at the request of co-developer Studio Emiko, we were asked to change the name.

The Order will go by the new name of the Gensokyo Socialite Order. A socialite is, by definition, any person or group of persons who hail from a wealthy and aristocratic background, spending most of their time attending social gatherings instead of being traditionally employed. In the GSO's interpretation of the new word, the ruling Scarlet family is said to be the aristocratic family, despite making most of their money from criminal activities. The only employment their grunts receive are pulling off the Order's operations.

Politics plays a big role in the Drillimation Danmaku Universe games, and several characters are affiliated with certain political ideologies, bringing various effects on a game's story. Emiko Hosokawa, the chairwoman of Studio Emiko, stated that bringing a group to an ideology such as either communism or socialism would be deemed too sensitive as Studio Emiko is based in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Vietnamese players can still purchase Drillimation's games on Steam as it is legally accessible and PC gaming is incredibly popular there. However, media censorship rules in certain countries in Eastern and Southeastern Asia can be quite strict, and many prohibit bias or criticism toward any political entity. Without making this change, there would've been no way the game could be sold in the country without running afoul of the law.

Despite this, none of Drillimation's games have ever been translated into the Vietnamese language. Southeastern Asia is one of the most linguistically diverse regions in the world, and trying to incorporate every single language these countries speak into the games would be very expensive and time-consuming. English proficiency in the region is generally very high, and many companies use the language as a one-size-fits-all solution when conducting business.

We hope you look forward to the launch of the game.

Improvements:

"We're thrilled to expand our language support! This update introduces several new languages, enhancing accessibility and player experience worldwide. Stay tuned for more languages coming soon!"

• Fixed a bug that prevented players from joining or creating servers due to a regional issue. Special thanks to Scpk for reporting and testing.
  
  
• Added language support for Simplified Chinese, German, French, Thai, Japanese, Portuguese (PT), Spanish, Russian, *Polish. You can select your preferred language from the options menu.

Thank you! Your ongoing support is invaluable. We're committed to continuously improving the game based on your feedback. Stay tuned for more updates!

* Experimental

The most important thing in game dev before working on anything else is to get a funky Title Screen up and running. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

In the Rocket League | X-Men ‘97 event, customize your ride with X-Men Decals, Boosts, Wheels, and more.

Update: An earlier version of this blog stated that several Decals listed below are eligible for cross-game ownership with Fortnite. These Decals are not cross-game eligible, and the blog has been updated to reflect this.

Welcome to the next stage in Soccar’s evolution! From April 23 at 9 AM PT to May 3, 2024, at 9 AM PT, Rocket League will mutate as items based on some of the most powerful characters from X-Men blast onto the arena.
⁠
⁠Carry on Professor X’s legacy by completing Challenges to unlock Toppers, Player Banners, and other items inspired by Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 on Disney+. Also, items based on iconic heroes like Cyclops, Wolverine, and Storm have swiped into the Item Shop. Make a pit stop to check out these Decals and more!



⁠⁠⁠Warm up the Blackbird—there are twelve X-Men Challenges that each offer a different reward.
⁠
⁠⁠Speaking of the X-Jet, the Blackbird is one of three unlockable Toppers, alongside the Cerebro and Sentinel Head. But first, are you on the side of good or evil? Show where your allegiance lies with three Player Banners, including X-Men, Wolverine, or… Magneto. If you’re one of the heroes, you might also want to swap in the X-Men Wheels.
⁠
⁠If you’re as good with a deck of cards as you are with a Soccar ball, then the Gambit Decal is your ace of spades. Every match is more exciting when there are fireworks, so bring the pyrotechnics to the arena with the Jubilee’s Pyrotechnic Energy Boost. Like your energy a bit more… negative? Leave unstable energy wherever you go with the Marvel Crackle Trail.
⁠
⁠By completing one of the more difficult Challenges (Play 20 Online Matches), you’ll earn a Golden X-Crate. Open it up from inside your inventory to unlock items from the Champions, Vindicator, or Velocity Series. You can complete this Challenge up to five times, meaning you can unlock up to five X-Crates! There’s also an unlimited Win 10 Online Matches Challenge, which rewards 20,000 XP each time.

From energy beams to weather control and magnetism, it’s fair to say that mutant powers come in all shapes and sizes. Show off the full force of the X-Men with the many Decals and other items in the Item Shop!
⁠
⁠First up are two items based on the stand-in leader of the X-Men, Cyclops. Inspire your teammates with the Cyclops Fennec Decal, which replicates Scott Summer’s classic blue and yellow costume. Pair it with the Cyclops’ Optic Blast Boost to zoom off with a red laser beam! When boosting, be careful not to bump into the Rogue Breakout Decal.



⁠⁠Where Cyclops can be found, Jean Grey isn’t far behind. The Jean Grey Dominus Decal features animated flames showing the pyrokinetic power of the cosmic entity that used to control Jean’s mind.
⁠
⁠Next up is the Mistress of the Elements. Turn every match into a lightning round with the Storm Breakout Decal. And brighten up the arena even more with the Jubilee Octane Decal complete with shiny sparkles.
⁠


⁠How about swapping out the carbon fiber for adamantium? The Wolverine Octane Decal will give your ride retro vibes with Logan’s iconic yellow threads. Celebrate your goals with Snikt! and circumstance with the Wolverine Slash Goal Explosion.
⁠


⁠Here’s something that’ll attract attention. Conquer the arena like the powerful leader of the Brotherhood with the Magneto Dominus Decal—a perfect fit for the Mutant Brotherhood Wheels. Control over magnetism not included.

• Rogue Breakout Decal

DESCRIPTION:
The last thing Shaggy remembers before The Change was exploring another spooky old mansion with his pal Scoob, just like any other day with the gang. He found a strange glowing crystal and, thinking it was rock candy, went to take a bite. There was a FLASH... and then blackness. When he came to, he found himself in possession of incredible powers. He doesn't know where they came from or how they work, but he's vowed to use them to vanquish evil and protect the little guy. As soon as he gets some lunch, that is.
