Bodycam update V0.1.3.0

WARNING

• Performance/Stability Update: Some files have been reorganized, which requires re-organizing the game content, so don’t be afraid if you see that the update is around 30 GB!

ADDED

• Friend Joining: The game will now automatically place you on the same team as your friends (except if there’s no space available).
  
• New Grenade G68: This grenade explodes 4 times over a larger area, dealing 2 times less damage than the classic grenade but useful in large spaces.
  
• Localization and Translation: Improved support for the following languages:
  *English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese*.
  *(Any untranslated text will default to English.)*

CHANGES FOR ROOKIE PLAYERS

• To ensure new players (rookie rank) start with others of their level, we’ve introduced the following:
  
• Rookie Lobbies: These can only be joined by other rookies. Once a player surpasses the rookie rank, they will no longer have access to rookie lobbies.
  
• However, rookies can still join any other lobby, for example, if they have an experienced friend. The goal is for the rookie rank to be a transitional learning phase, while also ensuring a fun experience for newcomers. After just a few hours, they’ll rank up to Soldier and face more challenging battles!

UI

• Server Selection: The server selection will now suggest lobbies with players of your rank to better balance matches.
  
• Friend Scoreboard: You can now see your friends in the score menu.
  
• Bomb Indicator: Once dropped, the bomb will be highlighted with a red square, making it easier to find, especially on maps with verticality.

FIXES

• Public Pool: Bomb mode is now fully functional.

Feel free to share your ideas and suggestions!

Bodycam update V0.1.2.9

FUTURE UPDATES INFORMATION

• We have recently released two major updates, and here is the third! We will continue to provide bug fixes, but there will be no additional content as we shift our full focus to the ZOMBIE mode coming for Halloween.
  
• After Halloween, No stress we will resume regular updates!
  
• Our goal is to create the Most realistic, terrifying, and immersive round-based zombie mode ever made.
  
• Here is the link to the latest updates if you missed them: http://Bodycam News HUB

ADDED

• Bomb House Reworked: The map has been reworked and optimized, now available in all traditional game modes. *(For those who like the "airsoft house" version, the goal was to create a structured real house, with a bedroom, balcony, entrance, and staircase. We think you will love it)*.
  
• Localization and Translation: Added support for the following languages:
  *English - French - Italian - German - Spanish (Spain) - Arabic - Japanese - Korean - Russian - Simplified Chinese*.
  *(All text not yet translated will default to English.)*

INFORMATION

• Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch: The mode remains the same, but we've added a timer to prevent games from dragging on, especially when the lobby isn't full.

CHANGES

• Worn House Basement: We added new access to the basement, which was highly requested! This includes a new door and a modified roof at the exit location.
  
• Map Fix: We made some mini map fixes to improve the experience by removing or patching up certain objects. Confirmed players will recognize the changes.

UI

• Item Detection Distance: We’ve improved ground item detection, making it easier to throw back grenades *(though we still recommend not trying).* The detection distance has been reduced for realism, and the item now appears only when it’s at your feet.
  
• Locker Visual: Improved locker and shop visuals, preparing for an upcoming system update.

FIXES

• Public Pool: Vines now have collision, allowing you to shoot through them. *(Apologies for the damaged drones!)*.
  
• Only Pistol: Fixed a bug that only gave players a pistol in Deathmatch.
  
• K for Kill: Fixed.
  
• Activate Flashlight: Fixed a bug where activating a flashlight on a dropped gun caused issues.

See you in a month for Halloween!

Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone, Reissad Studio was at Gamescom 2024 (Léo, zoox (Our manager) and Luca from left to right)!

We had the chance to meet tons of amazing people who will help us continue to push Bodycam in multiple ways for the direction we want Bodycam to go in. This is really promising, and we are really excited to see where it'll lead us all!

We cannot announce anything officially any of our projects at the moment as we are still in the early-talks stage but the future seems brightfor Bodycam gamers.

We are also back from vacation, which means that updates are slowly going to be back, and we have more motivation than ever! More information about that in the near future, so stay tuned... 👀

See you soon!

  The house bomb is a defense and attack simulation for the Body bomb mode. It puts you in the position of a team who must find a way to defuse a hidden bomb in a house.
  
• NEW MAP: Backroom (Added because the easter egg has been found)
  "If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you…"
