In the previous update I had re-added auto-switching for controller inputs allowing players to control TBAS Study Pro "out of the box" (without needing to fiddle with the rebinding menu), allowing Unity to automatically switch "active" input to be whatever controller was sending signals to the computer. However, I was contacted about an issue from multiple users where certain controllers would provide a continuous input to Unity (e.g. stick drift) regardless of user intent, thereby interfering with alternative/intentional user input. This frustrated users, and I don't want users to have to play the "deduction-game" on what controller is interfering with their intended input the first time they boot up the program. Because of this, I have removed input auto-switching again, but this time the UI in the Aircraft Tracking test has been rearranged to more specifically guide users to explicitly assign controllers to tests/rebind inputs if they haven't yet done so. It's not a perfect solution, but it's the best I can come up with given the contraints that the Unity game engine provides.
Another patch, another wave of bugs crushed beneath my heel. Only a few stubborn ones remain, but they are battle-hardened pests. I shall summon reinforcements to finish them off. Do not worryâit shall be done.
We've also improved some instructions and quality-of-life features for our beloved customers. After all, a well-run Blood Bar is in everyone's best interestâmostly mine, but still.
Now, listen well: unless something urgent breaks, my mortal developers will rest until March 24th. After that, they return to work, and we shall plan a major update. Among the changes? A new level, requested by none other than Andrea Reyesâa most generous patron who spends without counting. His investments are, of course, great for my business.
Since we are preparing a big update, I welcome your suggestions. The best way to share them? Our Discord forum. There, you can whisper your ideas directly to the minions who build the game.
Now, here is what this patch brings:
Fixed:
Deleting a table with empty drinks no longer confuses the Minions.
Destroying doors now properly removes the outline when pressing Escape.
The victory panel now scales correctly with your screen resolution.
Furniture shop buttons and the scrollbar now scale properly.

â Control Your Destiny with New Mutators
Why wait for a perfect utopia when you can create one NOW? (Or, you know⌠when patch v2.49 goes out.) On March 14 Pacific Time slightly before the Season begins, weâre introducing a range of new mutators thatâll allow you to make your own weird and wonderful experiences in Exhibition Mode and Private Matches. â â Want the madness of multiple soccar balls? Go for it. Fancy dialing down the ball gravity? Sure thing. Score points for each demolition? Let the explosions begin. Hereâs the full list of all the new mutators!
Jumps: Take to the skies by increasing the number of jumps you can do at once! Do a double-jump, triple-jump, octuple-jump⌠Or, turn jumps off entirely and keep the competition ground level.
Number of Balls: Why have just one soccar ball when you could have six? Choose between having one, two, four, or six balls in play.
Ball Gravity: Alter the ball's gravitational pull and let the mayhem ensue. Options include low, high, super, and good olâ fashioned default.
Dodge Timer: Change the time allowed between dodges. Dial things up to unlimited and avoid ANY obstacle!
Possession Score: Shake up the game by allowing players to score points just for staying in control of the ball.
Demolish Score: Bring on the destruction! Allow players to score up to three points for each demolition.
Normal Goal Score: Go for the goal like never before. Increase the points earned for each successful shot in the back of the net!

Assist Score: Teamwork is the key to victory. Allow players to earn up to three points for each assist.
Enforce Territories: Get back on your side! This mutator enables the Split Shot wall, dividing teams across each half of the field. Players will be demolished if they touch the ground on the opponents' side.

With the animated Cosmological Decal, your car will look like a non-stop rave. If that doesnât make you feel like the star of the show, shine like the soccar champion you are with the StarStud Boost. â â The fourth state of matter may be too hard to understand in the present, but you can make it common knowledge in the future with the Plasma Ball Goal Explosion. If the geography of the cosmos is more your area of expertise, the Star Chart Goal Explosion might be more your thing! â â Who says you canât take an old friend with you to the future? (Or at least a new version of an old one.) The Pigeon 3000 Topper is here to make sure the pecking order stays the same against artificial forms of life like the Rocket Drone Antenna.â â â Like how Season 18 is a peek of a perfect future, the rewards mentioned above are just a peek of what the Rocket Pass holds.
