Hello Hoop Fans!
[p align="start"]Just wanted to give a first look at some new additions coming to Hoop Land Update Version 1.10 AKA the College Franchise Mode Update!
The first thing I wanted to improve was the arena atmosphere of college games. I contacted the sound designer of the Hoop Land's current arena beats and requested some college specific drumbeats, crowd chants, and intermission band music. Check out the video below for a preview of the new audio and for a small surprise at the end..

Some other small additions I've added:
The ability to simulate a single round of the tournament/playoffs
Player's hair color will turn slightly more gray as they age (if Appearance Aging is enabled)
Deceased players and coaches will appear in black/white
The release date of Version 1.10 is still to be determined but my goal is to release it before the end of the year. This preview is just the beginning and I will be showing off more development progress in the coming weeks and months. Improved gamepad menu UI navigation is also planned for this update.
And lastly, Steam Cloud has finally been enabled! Steam Cloud does not require an update and should work immediately. Please be aware of the following:
The first time you close the game, all of your season save files will be uploaded to the cloud.
Every time you re-open the game, cloud saves will be synced onto your current device.
Be sure to disable Steam Cloud on any device of which you do not want save files to be overwritten.
If you need to recover any save files, tap the Options button on the season saves screen and then the Revert button on any save slot.
If you are playing on a Mac, Steam may have relocated the directory of your save files. If this has occurred, please try the following:
Navigate to the following folder:
/Users/\/Library/Application Support/com.koalitygame.hoopland/
Copy all the contents in the folder and paste them into the following:
/Users/\/Library/Application Support/Koality Game/Hoop Land/
Thanks for the support, I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback in the comments!
