@scheeseman486 scheeseman486 released this 15 Oct 09:31

A prerelease of v0.2, for testing before the release. Input on network play is appreciated, as well as any other bugs you come across. Bring your own ROM: everything is read from your copy of Mutant League Hockey (USA, Europe) at runtime. The first time you start the game, a file dialog asks for it (or put it next to the executable or the AppImage).

New since v0.1

  • Up to 12 players, locally and online. Every player on a controller of their own, with character selection, captain votes and line-ups before a match. Online play is encrypted, with an optional password, and you can rejoin after a drop. Run-ahead keeps the menus and play responsive. Needs testing!
  • Extended Cameras. The 2D Extended and 3D Extended cameras zoom to keep every player's character and the puck in view. Extended Penalties and Extended CPU are optional, the original game skips certain interactions that happen outside of the camera frustum, these optionals expand that.
  • CREATE-A-TEAM. Make your own teams: city, name, logo and colours, choose a coach, his voice and speeches. Build your own rink.
  • Playoff saves. Save and load playoff runs, custom teams included.
  • Replays. FULL GAME instant replays rewind over the whole match; hold a button to go faster. Save matches, then watch them and the attract demos from REPLAYS.
  • The arena.
    • Blood and robot oil splatter on the 3D ice (ABACABB MODE) and get streaked by player skates.
    • Detailed ice and reflections.
    • The crowd sways and cheers with the game.
    • The match's opening in 3D.
    • A pool of new organ tunes.
  • A Linux AppImage.
  • Options.
    • 16x9 and Ultrawide.
    • Tick rate: the original's pace with its slowdowns, a less CPU intensive approximation or a steady 30fps roughly equivalent to the Genesis version when overclocked.
    • Shot height buttons (default left and right triggers on gamepad)
    • Per-player bindings with STANDARD and GENESIS layouts.
    • Button prompts for keyboards and gamepads.
  • Penalties and reserves are on by default in new games.

Fixes and performance
