You keep on posting a lot of very helpful and constructive feedback about my game - thank you so much! - [b]I greatly appreciate it[/b]!
I took the most frequently mentioned criticism to heart and improved Natural Soccer in the following ways, which, in my humble opinion, [i]greatly[/i] further improve the overall gameplay:
[h1]Added Player vs Player Collisions[/h1]
From now on, players no longer just pass through each other, enabling you to shield the ball with a player's body and perform some impressive dribbling.
It makes the game more realistic and adds quite a bit of depth to the gameplay. Hope you'll like it too!
[h1]Added Manual Passing[/h1]
While automatic short passes are still available unaltered by [i]tapping[/i] the pass button, you can now perform [b]manual straight passes[/b] by [b]holding down the pass button[/b] instead. The longer you hold it, the more powerful the pass will be.
Those manual passes deliberately are [i]not[/i] affected by Aftertouch, as applying that would also let the newly controlled pass receiver run around in unintentional ways.
[h1]Greatly Improved Keyboard Controls[/h1]
I carefully improved the keyboard controls so that they're no longer only strictly 8-way and allow for more freedom.
But still, [b]I highly recommend playing Natural Soccer with an analogue controller[/b]!
[h1]Toned Down AI a Bit[/h1]
Actually, the most criticism I got about the game's AI is that it's [i]too strong/perfect[/i] ;-)
So I toned it down a bit by making it perform less perfect passing and disabled the code which made the AI block its goal in a close to impeccable way.
Hope you like the new features! Please let me know in the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/347690/discussions/]forums[/url]!
Enjoy Natural Soccer!
