What's new in Beta-4. Part 1 (Patreon)

Hello! This is the first part of a post about what's new in the new version of NGL Biathlon Beta-4.

Note for senior and top sponsors. The first two innovations have already been described in detail in previous posts. But read the third feature - it's new for you too :)

1) Biathlete Skills

Three skills for athletes will be added to the game: finisher, second breath and nerves of steel. "Finisher" gives additional boost at the finish line. "Second breath" partially restores a bar of stamina on the last lap. "Steel nerves" removes the influence of the pulse on the last shooting.

Skills will be editable in the Athlete Editor and will also be achievable in Career Mode. They will act both for the player and for bots. But so far only in offline mode.

2) New skis characteristics

Now the “boost” that the skis give (in fact, the coefficient of friction changes) will more smoothly depend on temperature. And for each pair there will be a separate dependence for snowy and snowless conditions.

With such a system, for each pair, the optimum temperature will be determined at which the skis perform best. And with changing weather conditions, ski glide will decrease smoothly, rather than abruptly, which is better in line with reality.

3) Auto-tuning of the characteristics in a career

A common situation: you want to start a new career for some athlete, and manually lower his characteristics so that there is room to progress. Now it is not necessary to go into the editor of athletes every time and lower the rating. Just when creating a career, click on the auto-tuning button and the characteristics will be set automatically.

These are not all the innovations in Beta-4. There will be a second post about this update. The release date will also be announced at a later date.

We also offer junior and middle sponsors, if possible and willing, to increase the subscription level in order to receive information about updates even earlier and in a more detailed form, and also to help the development of the project even more! :)
