What's new
Cues
- Four new cues: Ash Linen, Bank Ivory, Helix Carbon and Aurora Crystal. There are now 12 in total.
- Every cue has its own character:
- a draw curve: soft cues stay gentle for touch shots, heavy cues reach full speed sooner for breaking;
- a one-line trait;
- its own strike sound.
- New Feather touch perk: soft strokes stay almost perfectly straight.
- Cue Atelier: dress any cue you own with marks on the forearm, wrap or sleeve, plus a trim, wrap, sheen, butt ornament and your signature. It is cosmetic only; the stroke does not change.
Play
- Take back a shot with Backspace or Ctrl+Z, up to eight of your shots.
- Practice mode: right-click a ball to pick it up and place it anywhere.
- F11 switches to fullscreen.
- The cue now follows the mouse pointer exactly. Drag back to draw the cue, then release to shoot; ease forward to cancel.
Physics and AI
- The cushion nose now sits above the ball's equator, so follow and draw change the rebound. Rubber gives back less at higher speeds.
- Combination shots resolve correctly: the ball at the pocket falls and the striker stays out.
- Fast balls can no longer pass through each other.
- The AI, the aim assist and the guide aim at a point that clears the pocket jaws.
- The AI levels have been rebalanced. Amateur now plays safeties, banks and combos; Master searches safeties more widely.
Reliability
- If the game crashes, the details are saved to
%AppData%\NeonCue\crash.log. - New automatic checks on every build: take-back, exact aiming, and cue drawing at every angle.
