This past few days I've worked on a couple of things, one of them I want to save for a longer post later on so I won't mention for now.
I've wanted to introduce costumes into Rocket Fist for a long while now, and I finally got around to it, made 5 costumes and made a system to select and use them. The system also colors parts of the costume based on the player's team color.
From a top-view, you can't see the costume as well, but you can still get the gist of it, and I believe that it helps to further differentiate between players (team-matched will be made easier to differentiate with players using fairly different costumes :D)
Now, the player's "press start menu" had several screens to actually get to play, which was kind of annoying. I decided to just consolidate all the choices the player can make there to just one screen there, because most of the time the player doesn't actually want to make all those choices, all he wants to do is press READY and play.
So if you want to change your color, you can change there. Costume? There. Now if you want to change your name, you can press a button there to take you to the old name-selection screen, but since the game remembers the last name you used, chances are you probably don't want to change your name.
I believe that'll make that menu easier to navigate. Looking forward to playtest the game with costumes :D
Oh, a long time ago a friend of mine, Erik, suggested a billiards 8-ball costume, long before I decided to make costumes for the game xD I finally made his suggestion, and it's probably one of my favorite costumes:
