Revenge of the Cats: Ethernet Beta 2
March 30th, 2011 by CrusaderPrototype 2 of Revenge of the Cats: Ethernet was recently released with the following changes:
- Breaks backwards compatibility to older versions!
- In-game player chat (implemented as uber-minimalist IRC client).
- New weapons.
- CATs can now fire a B.O.U.N.C.E. that reverses the momentum of nearby enemy CATs.
- In Ethernet arenas, damaging enemies no longer restores a player’s health.
- In Ethernet arenas, CATs are limited to carrying 2 weapons (not counting discs, grenades and B.O.U.N.C.E.).
- Deflecting discs should now be easier/possible at higher latencies.
- Render player trails to make it easier to gauge CATs’ velocities from a distance.
- Increased minimum speed needed to suffer impact damage.
- New default font & slightly fancier GUI.
- Warnings on the HUD for low health / armor.
- New etherboarding effects.
- Bugfixes & all kinds of minor improvements.

Protip: ait until I get a proper game together to show it off. Or, you could show proto 1.10 video for Beta2?
