[devblog] Mansion Court and Hair Physics

Heya!

It's time for a mid-sized update! With version 0.9.4, The Mansion is now available as the first indoor court in Pixel Tennis. It is the most detailed court yet and should set a baseline for the games graphical capabilities. You can select it in multiplayer mode or play it in singleplayer, after you reached a certain level.

If you played Pixel Tennis for some time, you might have noticed one of the random loading screen texts, which said "Now with improved hair physics". This was intended to be some nonsense, when the player models were basic pills. Now, the game actually supports hair physics - because... why not?

Time for the tiniest update yet. It does not even require a client update. :shock:

Gameplay
The grey starter racket now comes with the Power Shot equipped. This means, that you can use special shots without buying a racket from the shop. It should improve the gameplay experience for new players, as this core mechanic is now accessible from the very first match.
