Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball wurde mehr als zehn Jahre nach seinem Release mit dem umfangreichen Update 10 versorgt - kurz darauf folgte Update 10.1 mit weiteren Verbesserungen und Bugfixes.

Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball ist ein Multiplayer-Shooter, bei dem Einrad-Roboter in neongetränkten Disco-Arenen mit Dodgebällen aufeinander losgehen. Es ist laut Entwickler eines der größten Updates, das das Spiel je erhalten hat: Multiplayer läuft nun über Steam Networking, es gibt ein neues Instant-Replay-System und der Unterbau wurde auf Unity 6 umgestellt - wer die dadurch gestiegenen Systemanforderungen nicht erfüllt, kann über den neuen “legacy”-Branch weiterhin die alte Version spielen.

Update 10:

• Multiplayer now runs over Steam Networking, allowing extreme low latency setups for LANs and automatic direct connections among computers on the same network. No more ‘regions’ - all players are in one big lobby list, browsable by ping.
• You can invite friends through Steam Networking and they will automatically join your game.
• Improved syncing / prediction for bots and dodgeballs so it should feel less laggy.
• Added instant replay system - see how you got KO’d, and the final KO of the match is replayed for everybody.
• Improved bot AI - they can identify threats, swerve to become a harder target, and are much more accurate throwing shots especially at flying targets.
• Bots explode into real pieces when they are KO’d.
• Added ’events’ to support Steam Timeline.
• Improved spectator camera, various performance improvements, improved bot shield shader.
• Bug fixes: boss health bar disappearing, inventory item counts, leaderboards not updating, floor lighting glitches in Airborne.

Please note: this update included an update to Unity 6, which now has a minimum requirement of Windows 10. A new branch ’legacy’ with the previous game version is available for those who don’t meet the new requirements.

Update 10.1 (inkl. Bonus-Update 10.1.4):

• Fixed bugginess that would occur when host changed in online match (bots frozen, unable to pick up dodgeballs, etc).
• Added Match Voting (when level / mode / team setting is random).
• Reduced unnatural ‘dodgeball sync’ causing dodgeballs to float and change direction midair.
• Instant Replay better synced with the thrower’s perspective, letterbox effect, no longer shows the bot HUD.
• Improved Report / Ban / Kick functionality.
• Bonus-Update 10.1.4: Fixed remaining bugs that would occur if host changed at the very last second before a match changed to a new level.
