Quantum League

 
Quantum League servers to shut down by mid December 2023Sep 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsDear Quantum League community, It's been over two years since we announced the discontinuation of the game's development. We now wish to inform you that the game's servers will be shut down on December 15th, 2023. Consequently, the game will no longer be playable after this date and it will also be removed from the Steam Store. We have nothing but kind words to our amazing community that supported Quantum League since its early stages. We hope you have enjoyed playing the game as much as we did developing it. You can keep up to date of Nimble Giant's latest developments at our social media and website. Thank you! The Quantum League / Nimble Giant teamImportant update about the future of Quantum LeagueJul 15, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsWe would like to thank the amazing community of Quantum League players for all of your support. From the very first days of open beta to the critical early access period and on through this spring’s full official game launch. Thank you for all the streams, the tournaments, the feedback and for being such a welcoming and supportive community. This is certainly not always a given and we truly cherish that and you. As you know, Quantum League is a game that we are all immensely proud of here at Nimble Giant. The goal has always been to create something unique and one of a kind, which we very much believe we managed to do, both in terms of the game and the community surrounding it. To see this original concept come to life over the past few years has been nothing but incredible While the game may not have taken off to the top of the Steam charts, reading the passionate player feedback on Discord, witnessing the reactions of streamers and YouTubers when first experiencing the loop mechanic in real time, every single Very Positive review we have gotten, the community-organized tournaments and in-houses - all of it has been a wonderful treat for us that has filled our team with pride, and the list goes on. As a thank you to our dedicated playerbase, we will be releasing a new reward track today for you to have fun with, put a discount on all skins available in the game, and bring back skins previously available only during events, such as Halloween, etc. The sad part of this message is that due to given circumstances, we have decided not to continue adding content and updates to Quantum League. We have also made the decision to stop our efforts to port the game to consoles. This was a very hard decision to make. It took us a long time to look at the data, explore a lot of ideas and run different scenarios. In the end, it is the best decision for our studio at this time. Despite that, we will continue to maintain the servers up and running for a long time so you can keep enjoying this amazing game that we created for you and by your side. As a token of our appreciation for everyone that supported the game throughout this journey, we prepared a quark code that you can freely spend on all the discounted skins. To get 35k Quarks on us, use code: BESTCOMMUNITY We hope in the future we can revisit the world and the ideas behind Quantum League again all together. Please stay tuned for info coming soon on what’s next for our team as we embark on another entirely new multiplayer experience (among other projects!) that we hope you all will love and take part in.

Implemented circular deadzone with configurable inner and outer in options menu Implemented fully customizable extra turn acceleration with amount, delay, acceleration and active zone (angle) settings.

Fixed an issue where the spectator could still do actions while the in game menu was open Fixed an issue where weapons would sometimes do the reversed sound while shooting Fixed an issue where bullets would show a hitmarker but deal no damage when swapping weapons quickly.

This is the last update of 2020 and it includes a highly anticipated feature and several quality of life improvements in the game. Rifle Scope A lot of players asked for this feature and now we are thrilled to introduce the first iteration of the Rifle Scope. We made scoping transitions quick and snappy as we wanted to keep the current fast-paced experience of aiming and shooting with this weapon, but that’s not all, we also added a pinpoint accuracy indicator! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/c16d088a0896ff4f2aff7d754f7ed3022b843cd0.png Resync awareness We added a new compass when opponents resync and it will allow you to see their position for a brief moment. Menu flow Game-mode selector and Play buttons are now located in the main menu as part of an ongoing UX revamp. Options button in the main menu is now located at the top-right corner. The Reward Track screen will now display the current players tier page by default. See you in the arena!Quantum League Update 0.8.3Dec 1, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHey there Quantum Athletes! We’ve got a whole new update for you! What’s new? Match Replays We’re bringing back a feature that alpha testers may recognize: Match Replays are back! Now, you’ll be able to see a list of your last played matches from a tab in Player Profile and rewatch them from a spectator’s perspective. You’ll be able to recapture your best moments from a different perspective or get a better look at the strategies used by the other player as well. An important note is that match replays base their action on the server’s reality, so if you have high ping what you see in replays may not match 1 to 1 to what you experienced while playing. Spectator QoL We collected many suggestions from all of you and watched hours and hours of tournament casts on Twitch to prepare this list of fixes and improvements to the Spectator: FIX: Game mode objectives now display correct team colors when spectating FIX: Desynced clones now have correct materials FIX: Third person camera now follows the desynced clone instead of its ragdoll FIX: First-person hud now shows the correct version of the life bar FIX: Loop number is now shown properly in 1st and 3rd person FIX: Spectator camera now shows correct shader when going through a player model SUGGESTION: Spectators are now also counted for ending the point review SUGGESTION: Added player name below clone number to differentiate players SUGGESTION: Added shortcuts to switch directly to different clones in a loop SUGGESTION: If following current clone, the camera will switch to the new active clone on loop resets Added a simple, togglable shortcut list to the Spectator mode HUD. Many of the new shortcuts for the Spectator can be changed from the Options menu. New Player Experience Newcomer mode disabled Made the Health Pack tutorial mandatory for new players Simplified the Basic tutorial’s firing range challenge Other Changes Toned down the Shotgun’s long-range effectiveness - We’ve increased the pellet spread both when hipfiring and focusing, and lowered the headshot multiplier from 1.5x to 1.3x Weapons sounds have been updated All players can now turn the overhead player names display from an option in the Game section. When selecting maps in Custom Match, the loop length option defaults to the official loop length That’s all for now! We’ll see you in the arena! Help us win “Most Innovative Gameplay”!Nov 25, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWe’re calling all our Quantum Athletes! It’s that time of the year again... The annual Steam Awards have arrived! Players will be able to nominate their favorite games to win one or more awards out of ten different categories. That’s where YOU come into play! With its innovative time loop mechanics, Quantum League is a one of a kind first-person shooter. Having to plan the past, the present, and the future all at the same time, we believe Quantum League is a worthy nomination for the “Most Innovative Gameplay” award and you can make it possible! We deeply appreciate your support and thank you for nominating us. There's no time to waste so click the box above to vote for us! See you in the arena! The Quantum League team {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/117099c5aa1b75e67521070fec828007c0f08455.pngUpdate 0.8.2Nov 9, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsNew cosmetics store Did you ever miss out on a cosmetic item that you really wanted to get? Do you have too many quarks but nothing to spend them on? The new store is made for you! Starting from this update, we're introducing the Store screen, from which you'll be able to see a selection of daily items and special offers that refresh regularly. Most of the weapon and character skins we've added there are brand-new, although you may also find some past exclusives making a comeback as well! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/24f68caf33ffb2aebcc0f348823bfd60c693e24b.png New map: Museum It's time for a brand-new map, based on a totally new environment: Museum! Why go to a boring old building to study natural history with stuffed animals when you can travel in time to see for yourself? Museums like these have seen their visitors drop drastically since the popularization of time tourism, and so have had to turn to other modes of financing, like leasing out their great hall to Quantum League matches for instance! This release of Museum is a 2v2 domination map. Coordinate with your teammate to maintain control of the map's 5 points, and learn to dominate the wide-open spaces and long lines of sight afforded by this grand hall style of architecture. The more acrobatic athletes will be able to find a safe route to most locations of the map through the suspended plesiosaur fossils that dominate the room. Museum will be available in the 2v2 Casual queue, and can also be found in the Custom match list to try it out with different variables. Let us know if you're enjoying this new level, this will help us fine-tune its 1v1 and capture versions. New Reward Track up! We've activated a brand-new reward track with new skins to unlock! We're making it a bit longer than the previous ones, both in terms of levels to unlock and the time you have to unlock them. Additionally, we're trying out a thing where we make the first few levels easier to get, in order to give new players something to look forward to even if they start playing with the reward track already underway. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/08e9657f8af361a7f31c6a80681668366a866a62.png New Community Organized Tournaments We’re back with community organized tournaments! This time our amazing players have set up a 1v1 league that will lead up to a Quantum Championship. Read more about it here. The winners will compete for cash prizes & in-game goodies! Will you be one of the winners? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/0ee6be0b0eb3e71041d1909b1758c899fe53238e.png IGL - Winter Circuit We’re up for a new season in the Indy Gaming League Winter Circuit. You can participate for some amazing in-game skins. The registration officially opens for both 1v1 and 2v2 on November 11th so get ready to grab your teammates & sign up as soon as you can! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/5f3a2bf47e005047654e3d1eadf3aeede85fce85.png That's not all... WE'RE CELEBRATING THE COMMUNITY & THE NEW UPDATE WITH A WEEK-LONG 50% DISCOUNT Check out our roadmap to...Quantum League Halloween Update 0.8.1.1 👻Oct 28, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHalloween Skins! BOO! For a limited time, you’ll be able to view and unlock six legendary Halloween skins, one for each Athlete. Get them before they vanish back into the night, one week from now! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/40574eb3c1742e42285053dbacc5c6fbb6e10934.jpg Single Player practice in Custom Match We’re happy to also deliver a highly upvoted suggestion in this minor update: the ability to enter a level by yourselves in a custom match to practice there. To access this, just enter the Custom Match screen without being in a party and select “Single Player” in the “Player Setup” setting. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/d17fc5795330752e580f5108c4723672c26a2f5d.jpg All levels you enter this way will have the same ruleset and objectives as those you encounter in the multiplayer queues. Time Loops are active too, so you can practice setting up the next meta-breaking death strat as much as you want! (just kidding 🎃) However, as this mode of play lacks other players, you will see some differences in the way matches begin and end. Namely, the intro and outro sequences will be shorter since we’ve had to skip all places where other players would have been featured.Update 0.8.1Oct 14, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWeapon Buttstrokes Starting from this update, you'll have a new tool at your disposal in those last-second plays, where your primary and secondary weapons have both been spent: just bash your opponent on the noggin' with the butt of your gun! Buttstrokes can be triggered from any character posture with any equipped weapon at the press of a button (V by default). They interrupt reloads & swaps and apply 25 points of damage to the first clone caught in the effect area. After having used it, you will need to wait a short cooldown period before being able to trigger it again. We are introducing this feature mainly to avoid uneasy standoffs where both players are waiting on their weapons to become available with nothing to do, which is a not-so-fun moment that we've seen happens pretty often. This "last-resort" context has also informed the way we've balanced it - make sure you let us know how you feel about this new addition! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/4223ab8c217ae5adc40bf1d37c9f26f1ccbe67f5.jpg Chat is back We're cautiously bringing full chat back to the game, working in the same way as it was before Early Access. Press Enter (by default) to open the chatbox and type away, to your team or everyone in the match. We cannot stress enough how we'd really like everyone to be civil and chill when talking to other players through this feature! If you are the victim of abusive chat, please make sure to report the player from the post-match button. Alternatively, you can still disable chat from the options menu if it's something you'd rather not interact with. Quantum Arena Night - Alt version We're introducing an alternate version of the classic Quantum Arena map to differentiate the day and night versions more. The alt version is still Point Capture, but features different health pack & explosive barrel placement, and adds jump pads for a different, more aerial flow. You will be able to find the alt version in the 1v1 Casual rotation, and custom match. We'll be adding more variations of other levels in the coming updates. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35077739/3d929f36c7210434ecccdc2ddcd123d55dbb586d.jpg New Reward Track up! We've activated a brand-new reward track with new skins to unlock! You may notice that it is definitely not spooky nor related to any possible Cucurbita-related celebration forthcoming in the near future 👀. Manual Reload option As per a highly-upvoted suggestion, we are now letting you choose whether your character reloads automatically when the charger is empty. You will find this option (off by default) in the "Gameplay" section of the options screen. Hotfix!Sep 22, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsJump and Gravity strengths tweaked We’re pretty happy with the movement overhaul introduced in the previous update, but after careful consideration, we wanted to scale back some of the changes to retain a bit of the previous feel. Gravity strength lowered by 31%, Jump strength lowered by 23% - this should recover some of the aerial play that was lost in the previous update. Movement speed cap raised by 22%. Fix to Overhead Indicators delayed appearance In the previous update, we had bumped the time it took for the overhead indicators from 0 to 0.25s, but some of you reported that it was taking much longer than that in some cases. Thanks to those reports, we found out that the timer was running on in-game time and thus was being affected by slowmo. The timer is now running in “real” time. See you in the Arena!
