Roadmap to version 1.1

Howdy everybody, Today, I wanted to take some time to let you all know what to expect in the near future. [h2]Version 1.0.2: Bugfixes and Version Switch[/h2] The next version will primarily feature smaller bug fixes. I’m currently still trying to figure out a reported bug in 4-player matches. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to reproduce this bug, which makes it hard to fix. Therefore, I want to ask all of you again: If you encounter bugs, please let me know so I can do my best to fix them. Another change in this update is the introduction of a [b]version switch[/b]. The default will be the current stable build. If this causes you any new problems, you can switch back to the previous stable version. Again, if you do so, please let me know! You will also be able to switch to the beta branch, which will offer a less-tested but (hopefully) playable preview of what’s coming in the next version. Use this option if you’d like to help me find bugs early. This might be even more helpful, as the next bigger update is, well, big… More bugfix patches will come out if needed before we will be celebrating: [h2]Version 1.1.0: Tutorial Messages, Solo/Co-op Gamemode[/h2] From watching more and more matches with newcomers, it’s become apparent that some players struggle with the controls at the start. To address this, I’ll be adding [b]tutorial-style messages[/b] to the game. Players will be introduced to the basic controls and concepts during their first rounds. Each player can complete the tutorial at their own pace. Seasoned players will, of course, have the option to disable this in the settings. Additionally, I’ve been working on a [b]“survival” style mode[/b] where the player’s goal is to survive with a single life for as long as possible while also keeping the clock from running out. Players can do this by searching for collectibles on the map while being attacked by an increasing number of drones and turrets. Since this mode does not include PvP gameplay, it will be the first mode you’ll be able to [b]play not only solo but also cooperatively[/b]. Players will be able to revive each other to prolong the game. When will this come out? Glad you asked. Don’t expect this to arrive before February. If you want to try it out earlier, check the beta branch mentioned above. I’ll keep you posted on socials and also on the Discord. So long, Chris
