@Cristian: Sorry, I scraped the idea with the pre-leveled characters and forgot to communicate it. Providing max- or high level characters would make everyone prefer playing with these, so there are no low or mid tier matches anymore. Singleplayer mode also would becomes less challenging, if you are...

Network Gameserver Heavily revised networking to improve cpu and memory usage. This is again one of the topics that do not bring new features to the game, but are still important. :roll: I spare you with technical details, but I can tell, that the game server would have hit its performance limits a...

Hi NeJoe,
as soon as I know the next date(s), I will post it here and on discord.

The auto animator looks nice, but can become quite weird when working with models that were not originally part of this si...

The project is missing a 3D artist and animator. Without a volunteer, the visuals need to be capped at a lower level, so there is (currently) no other viable way.

Hi Suijake, yes, I understood ^^. The game should not let you hit the ball out if you are standing in a good position to the ball. However, I noticed too, that it is "easier" to hit the ball outside of the court than in FT. Maybe it can be improved by tweaking the distance for detecting sl...
