Patch NotesOfficial
Version 1.1.1 - Bugfix
Changes Menus/UI - Prevent matchmaking against players with a different (e.g. out of date) game version. Gameplay - More items induce knockdowns when sliding into them head first. Other - Improved overall CPU performance. Fixes Menus/UI - Fixed a bug that made most of the save disappear when unlocking “Spicy Steps”. This led to: - Losing all previously unlocked content (maps, custos, gamemodes, etc.). - Unlocking the same thing over and over each time you passed through the reward screen. - Bugs where gamemodes requiring specific maps could end up picking Bandolon, creating a round that would never end. - Fixed an issue where you could not connect to the game if your steam name contains a ‘\’. We just remove it from the displayed name. - Various small fixes to the menus and character selection screen. - Better handling of special characters in Chinese/Japanese/Korean. Gameplay - Fixed an issue with the “Thief” skill, if you died before teleporting an item to you. - Lots of small fixes bringing stability to the game. - Fixed an issue with the “Ice Path” challenge with 4 players leading to some pingheros not respawning. Other - Fixed several memory leaks that would cause the game to crash after playing for a while.Read full article on Community Announcements (Prae)Patch NotesOfficial

Fix an issue where pingheros could get permanently frozen by a skill combo Cardinal + Tornado was used.Read full article on Community Announcements (Prae)AnnouncementsOfficial
Game is live!
Hola Pingheros! The game is live! We've had a lot of fun playing this afternoon ourselves. Unfortunately, we've had to release a build that has a known issue: - When joining an online party with more than 1 local player, it may be impossible to continue to an actual party. Barring a natural disaster, a fix for this will land tomorrow (along with a couple other small fixes). 10-02-2025 Edit: The online issue has been resolved, together with some other minor bugs, in last Saturday's patch 1.0.3. This should not prevent you from enjoying the game in the meantime. May the shark be with you! - HectiQRead full article on Community Announcements (Buxxy)AnnouncementsOfficial

DevBlog #6: Asset Actions
Introduction Hola Pingheros! 👋 Romain here, I want to talk to you about an architectural concept that use in Los Pingheros: AssetActions. If the term looks pretty generic to you, it is because it is supposed to be, AssetActions are meant to represent a wide variety of things that can be done in our game. Let’s get into it. In case you don’t know it already, LosPingheros is a top down snowball fighting game where a lot of crazy stuff can happen: explosions, sharks chasing you, ananas meteor sent from the penguins gods, etc. Thus, we developed a very systemic game and as we added features, the combinatorics of associating the different incomes with the different outcomes would have quickly exploded, se we searched for a generic solution to the problem. What is an AssetAction We have different kind of triggers in our game, and the goal is to unify the way we produce outcome from those triggers. We need to be able to: Describe the outcome of the interaction Prototype things easily Give the designers the tools to leverage the systemic aspect of the game {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45023907/c14123d0a392ed1ac79806587c0704bbdd00e09c.png Here is an example of what it looks like in the editor. Our coins are Interactable objects that trigger an action when the player touch them. The outcome of this interaction is given by the AssetAction associated to the Interactable component. AssetActions are scriptable objects (more precisely AssetObject as we are using Photon Quantum, but this is not the topic) that implements the IAssetAction interface. internal interface IAssetAction { unsafe void OnAssetAction(Frame f, AssetActionRuntimeData context); } Simple and effective, the scriptable object must describe what happens when it executes, adding score to the player that triggered the action. public unsafe partial class ScoreActionConfig : AssetObject, IAssetAction, IAssetInteraction { public ScoringValue ScoringValue; public void OnAssetAction(Frame f, AssetActionRuntimeData context) { // Add...Read full article on Community Announcements (Hectiq)
