Blowout 1.2 Update

KABOOM!

Hello all! Blowout just got another big update bringing a lot of quality of life improvements and some much-needed preparations for other minigames coming to the server soon! Let's dive in!

A Glowing Personality

One thing that I hadn't figured out for a while is how to get it so that players on the same team always see their teammates, even from across the map! Your team will now always be glowing for you as long as they are alive. This should help with seeing friend vs foe and coordinating with your fellow explosive enthusiasts!

Scoreboard Updates

This one is still very much a work in progress, but the Blowout scoreboard has received an update! See the status of all players, their scores, and who is spectating your match just by pressing TAB.

This will likely be getting several iterations and updates over the next few weeks, but just getting this working at all is a big first step! Shoutout to BitSquidd for helping me find the obscure paper-only method of hiding a player ONLY on the tab list!

Community Shoutouts

I wanted to take some time to shout out Content Farm and their recent Last Blast blowout tournament! This ran concurrent with the Subathon and was yet another in the line of leg.gg community events created by the community themselves!

Shoutout to Kriomon for winning Last Blast, despite having not played Blowout before then! Whether this is because of the format, the random teams, or just a breakout performance - they took the cup! Check out their video below:

Full Changelog

That's All For Now!

A bit of a smaller update, but this helps lay the groundwork for future minigames, as well as future Blowout updates!

Now to just figure out where I left that furniture store... I swear it was just down the street... huh...

Nothing to worry about there.
