A Peaceful SPIN - Update v1.2.0

'Peaceful' Mode added, as well as ball spin

Sometimes the bar clears out, and the night quiets down.
I wanted to add an easy way for friends to just play pool together without taking away the "Brawling" DNA that makes this game. This is now possible by turning Brawls "OFF" in the new GameMode picker during lobby setup.

Brawls "ON" is still the default no matter what, so keep kickin' ass until you're in the mood to chill.
As always, any feedback here is greatly appreciated.
This is a feature that was always planned, but it took a little bit of extra time in the kitchen to cook.
You can now add spin to your shots by holding CTRL and adjusting your cue-tip on the ball icons. If you watch any "How to Add Spin in Pool" YouTube videos, this UI should look familiar to you :)

I've tested the physics as far as any one man can, but I expect more tweaks to be needed as the game goes on.
Please post any feedback or adjustments you think are worthy to the 'Forums' tab!

Facepunch has been hard at work.

They gutted numerous things from the engine that 9 Ball Brawl's UI relied on, but replaced it with a much cooler system. This enabled me to create a far more modern, much more reliable shot-line and ball target-ring.

Jump into the game and see for yourself!
If you look at the new GameMode picker's options, you may notice a little hint 🎱
