- v0.921 Emergency Update - 17 April 2019
Hey everyone, I woke up to no internet, meant the servers were down during my sleep. The ISP seems to make some changes and this affected the WAN IP address of the servers. To preserve the games playability, here is v0.921, which is a stable build that fixes some of the bugs mentioned before, however there are certain things that are non-functional or non sensical, which all are placeholders for the new content to come. Online players button does not show the online players, instead shows the player options menu without a player. Some Marbles in the main menu are gone. I am planning to update the game within the day to eliminate these (And actually implement them fully, not just disable). Sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards, Kaan
- Roadmap post v0.920 - 15 April 2019
Alrighty, After fixing a few bugs in the server by paying the cost of getting some negative reviews (Which were justified I think), the current build is in somewhat a stable state. There are a few bugs that I will list below that will be addressed, and I will follow with the pressing stuff that will soon to come. Currently known bugs: - Lobbies do not display the current Game Mode and player count - Players leaving a game stay in the lobby (Intended) but do not have a way to reconnect back (Start Game button will be replaced for disconnected players to Join Game for this) - Some more getting stuck in the wall issues (Yes still) - Chat not being active in-game on certain niche cases If there are more that are not listed here, you know the song (Discord and discussions board) Upcoming - The only item that could not make it to this update that was previously announced is online players lis…
- v0.920 - 14 April 2019
Hello! After lines of codes and bunch of weeks, the patch is now out. Given we could complete the backend implementations, now more rapid patching can take action. I personally do not expect a flawless execution given there are a lot of sequences something might occur and testing it as a single person with limited amount of machines just does not cut it. As always, if you find any bugs, please write them on discord or Steam discussions page. And here are the changes: Revamped Social Interactions - You can now whisper to other players - You can join to a persons game via chat (Join game button) - You can now access to global chat during gameplay (Single or multiplayer) - You can ignore messages from a person. With this, the manual moderation of the global chat no longer will be applied. All players that were previously chat banned no longer are banned. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/ste…
- Upcoming Patch Announcements - 3 April 2019
Hello everyone! It has been quite some while since the last update, however the workload was immense and we are trying to make the patch ready in a week. Before giving out the changes, I would like to address some of the reasons why these are the contents for this patch: Over the course of the game, it has been getting quite positive reviews, apart from the undeniable lack of player base, whether the review itself is positive or negative. This is a bitter fact, that we obviously know, however the possibilities we have aren't enough to create one. Say it is about giving out ads, influencers and so on. However, we can address this in a different way, making the lack of playerbase less impactful on those who would like to play the game. So this patch pretty much is an attempt of addressing these and here they follow. Lobby/Party Changes Lobbies and parties are now moved to server side. Thi…
- v0.919 - 19 March 2019
Helloooo. 0.919 is out and below are the patchnotes: Abilities - New Ability: Schrodinger's Cat - New Ability: Jet Pack Time Attack - New Parkour: Hit the Six - Ghost Player: The game now records your best run and shows you as a Ghost Player. The previous runs obviously are not recorded so you should beat your score to be able to have a recording. Achievements - New Achievement: When there's grass on the wicket, lets play cricket! Complete the Time Attack parkour - Hit the Six Also would like to remind you that this is the last week for Evil Eye. We decided to include both abilities with this patch and then change the Time Attack after it to give you enough time for preparation. This also meant the mentioned Unstoppable Force change is not in with this patch to keep the Time Attack abilities the same. Soon, there will be a new announcement that gives you where we are standing and where…
- Upcoming Patches 0.919 and 0.920 and Exclusive Rewards - 14 March 2019
Hello hello! Patch 0.919 is almost ready and here is what will arrive with it: Time Attack - Time attack now records your best run at each parkour and displaying you your previous actions taken. We have plans to make these sharable with your friends, but this will not be ready until the lobby changes. There is a manual procedure that this can be shared, which we will include in the patch notes. - New Time Attack Route: Hit the Six Abilities - New Ability: Schrodinger's Cat. Launch a quantum replica of yourself towards the direction you are looking by pressing and holding the button. If you release the button within 3 seconds, you take place of your replica and you consume the entirety of your dash power. If the 3 seconds expire, nothing happens. The replica cannot interact with the objects like mouse traps or other balls, cannot be targeted by abilities, however can be affected by AoE a…

- v0.914 Fixes and some walls of texts - 7 March 2019
Hello everyone. After a rough few days, iteratively the mess of 0.912 is gone. There are still a few bugs, known or unknown, hence the chanting of please report them comes in. Basically in the state of being a small studio, not having the number of people to test the game extensively and being unable to create every situation replicable, we released the game in early access, given we knew Marble Combat is fun, but it is not achievable without the help an outer force. We also made it Free to Play so the gamble element which is paying money and getting nothing in return falls upon us, those who made the game, not you, the players who want to enjoy their time instead of regretting giving the hard earned money and ending up with nothing. Below are the patchnotes from 0.911 to 0.912 Gameplay - New Game Mode: Marballs: It is a 3v3 gamemode that takes on a foosball board. - Games that already…
- v0.912 Marballs Update - 6 March 2019
Before anything, I f*****d up. I have to accept the responsibility and clean the mess I have created. You will find a lot of bugs with the build, especially when joining an already started game. This being said, creating a lobby with "Allow Joining Mid-game" option and playing the game with the old fashion way should give the same taste as the previous build. After I am done with fixing all the issues, I will be posting a blanket announcement with all the changelogs and fixes that were cleaned from the previous build. My sincere apologies. Kaan

- Server maintenance - 22 February 2019
Hello. The servers currently are in maintenance (And this does not affect the playability). The estimated duration for the servers to be back on is 1 hour. This will be followed with a client update and the details will be posted as an additional announcement.
- Lag Issues and Matchmaking - 21 February 2019
Hello. The servers are now up and can be used to communicate with people via the global chat. Talking to a few people there, there are some issues that needs addressing, to understand where we are and where we are heading. The lobbies use Listen Servers, meaning, if you create a lobby, you will be the host for your game. However, if your connection is not stable/strong enough, the game can be unplayable for other people (Or for you if you did not host). This comes down to the following: Connection of the host Connection of you Distance between you and the host Since you can get no clue from any of this, we will be modifying the lobby search system to include the Countries of people. If you do not prefer your country to be visible, you will be able to reduce it to continent. We will be observing which regions people tend to play the most over the course of 1 month and we will be deployin…
