- Website Maintenance - 1 November 2019
For those wondering where our website went, we're going to be down for a bit while we move servers and do some long overdue updates. If you need support you can still reach us at [email protected] and check social media for updates on the new DX-Ball 2 and Hegemony III content that is in the works. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33346862%2Ffce1e5f03a8c146ba76869663ee2a353c9fbf804.jpg
- New DX-Ball 2 Beta Out Now! - 18 August 2019
The new DX-Ball 2 beta is finally here! You can now try out the new 2.3 update before the official release by switching to the 'Beta' version from the game's properties tab in your library. The update includes new toggle bricks that trigger changes to the board when you hit them and a new plasma ball powerup that can destroy bricks from a distance. The editor also has a new play feature that lets you test boards while you build them and a new class of "Permanent" bricks that let you build walls that even fireballs, lightning and other standard powerups can't break. Season Pass holders will also get a new sampler set of boards based on the original Classic set that will be coming with the updated Classic Pack when it's released. There are also a lot of internal changes that are part of our ongoing efforts to modernize the game's framework, but hopefully those changes should be pretty sea…

- Update 2.2 Beta Available Now - 16 February 2019
We've hit the first big milestone in our giant dynamic board update. The beta for version 2.2 is now available with new custom game modes and some major editor updates. New dynamic board content will be coming soon! For more details see our update in the forums https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33346862%2F866e2b45919df7c1a85fcf4c8ffbb7e4cfae8bbc.gif
- Dynamic Boards and Custom Game Modes Coming Soon! - 26 January 2019
A quick progress update on some of the new features we're working on: We're really excited about a brand new scripting system that lets us create dynamic features like moving bricks, toggle buttons, and complex elements like the arcade snake in the image below. We'll be including some of these new dynamic boards in the upcoming board packs and season pass content. We've also added custom game modes that let you adjust all of the game rules including ball speed, paddle size, active powerups, etc,. While you can still pick between difficulty levels or new vs classic rules, you can now mix and match any of the settings to find just the right mode for you. Both of these features required some major changes to the code, so we're still finishing off some of the details, but we're hoping to have something available for beta testing in the next couple of weeks. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/s…
- New DX-Ball 2 Website and Tools - 10 January 2019
As things have settled down a little after the crazy rush of the holidays, we've finally had a chance to update our old DX-Ball 2 website to reflect the new 20th Anniversary Edition. Since you've already found us on Steam, most of the information on the site won't be new; however, if you're interested in creating new boards and other content for DX-Ball 2, the new workshop page has a potentially helpful summary of all of the new tools you'll need. In particular, for the first time ever we've released our tool Texturizer that was used to make all of the textured bricks and backgrounds. This procedural image program was written by Seumas back in 1998, but was still in beta when he passed away and never got publicly released. We're looking forward to seeing what you guys can do with it and don't worry about the big 'Do Not Distribute' message when you open it :) https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd…
