[h1][u]Update 1.6.1[/u][/h1] Hey everybody, we're back again to bring you another update for Pummel Party. Todays update brings us to version 1.6.1 and includes both feature and content updates. [h1][u]Maximum Players Increased to 8[/u][/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33104705/b3c6df92f3104fd329b5cf64ff6be444bfee3b76.gif[/img] A major feature of todays update now allows you to play with up to 8 players online and locally, so that extra friend that may not have been able to play previously can now join in on the friendship ruining fun! [b]Please note:[/b] Currently 30 of the 38 minigames work with more than 4 players, in future updates we will fix some of these but unfortunately not all minigames will work with 8 players due to their fundamental designs. [b]A note on 8 Local Players:-[/b] In order to play with 8 local players using 8 XInput controllers you will need to go in to the options and disable the option 'Use XInput'. By default we use XInput for XInput compatible controllers however XInput does not support more than 4 controllers.

[h1][u]New Randomized Board Map 'The Rift'[/u][/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33104705/6899ba2667b9c8ca0c293012f8039c748a6d8e23.gif[/img] We've added a new board map with todays update. This map is unique in that it randomly selects a layout and then procedurally selects the spaces that are used within that layout. This means that each time you play this map will be a unique experience. Along with this the map contains a unique board event which reverses the direction of the map during play which will certainly cause some frustrating but funny moments! [h1][u]Alternate Minigame Maps[/u][/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33104705/45da6fa17b45bb65c86f5ac7ec158710b606d5d5.png[/img] We've laid the groundwork to allow us to randomly select alternate maps for minigames and in todays update we've added an alternate map for the 'Explosive Exchange' minigame. We'd love to hear from you what minigames you think would most benefit from having alternate maps, let us know in the comments! [h1][u]A Year of Pummel Party[/u][/h1] It's now been one year since we first launched Pummel Party, It's been a wild and awesome ride. We really appreciate all your support and kind comments. But just because we've been out for a year doesn't mean we're done yet, so we hope you'll have fun with this update and look forward to our next one! Thankyou.
