Hello fellow gamers!
As promised, we're excited to bring you news today of some new effects and Orange Box features included in PVKII Beta 2.3!
Some of the new features you can expect from 2.3 include:
Soft Collisions
Steam Community Integration
New Shader Effects
Color Correction
Coin Trails
Facial Animation
New Particle System
Soft Collisions
We've added soft player collisions to make it easier to get around, without constantly getting stuck on teammates - especially those who like to block doorways. Full clipping will only occur on enemies and when a teammate of yours has either the grail or a treasure chest. This will keep players from running through teammates while escaping an enemy in tight places, not allowing for pursuit. Soft collisions are so nice in a fast paced melee game like PVKII and we know you'll love them!
Steam Community Integration
With 2.3 comes Steamworks and Steam Community integration. What this means is players will have access to achievements and automatic updates, as well as be able to show their Steam Name and Icon on the scoreboard. We have also set it up so we can integrate certain features with specific Groups in the Steam Community. Make sure you join PVKII's Official Game Group so you don't miss out on future surprises for group members only!
