⚙️ Gameplay Evolution — One-Timers & Goalie Powerplay
We're gearing up for the first-ever full lobby pre-alpha test on 9. 5. 2025 at 21:00 CEST! Join us live on stream as we push VHL's gameplay systems to their limits:
🆕 One-Timer Rework
We’re reimagining the one-timer to give it more depth, control, and strategic impact:
- When you don’t have the puck:
- Toggle ON: All movement halts (as if you stopped manually)
- Only
Xis usable; right-click and boost are blocked - Receiving the puck auto-fires a 150% power shot toward cursor
- 3s cooldown on toggle
- When you do have the puck:
- Movement halts, actions blocked (except cancel/fake shot or slide-stop)
- After 2s, it auto-fires a 150% power shot
- 3s cooldown post-toggle
🧤 Goalie Powerplay Fixes
We’re refining the goalie-to-skater transformation for more fluid control:
- Returning to Net: Reactivating ability returns goalie after 3.5s with teleport + transform
- Activating Powerplay: Triggers after 2.0s with effects, no input restriction during switch
These changes are aimed at supporting our core philosophy: fast-paced, precise, high-agency gameplay. We're keeping the raw feel of VHL, while dialing in the mechanics that matter most.
