v2.0.2: Multiplayer announcement, soca valley hotfixes, telemetry support

It’s been about a week since we launched our first DLC: Soča Valley. Overall it seems like people are enjoying the rapids and a new huge environment! Special shoutout to all of you who’ve shared your feedback on Discord, Steam etc. However we have some things to improve on, mainly our communication with y’all. Hopefully you’ll consider this post a solid step in improving that. For anyone who just wants to read the patch notes, you can find them at the bottom. First off, we wanted to surprise and excite you with the Soča Valley announcement but in the future we’ll make sure to better communicate what to expect leading up to the announcement (type of content, pricing, release date). We’ve also alluded to this in the past but in order to be more transparent we’d like to announce that we’re working on multiplayer and have been for a while! This was our most requested feature and also the most challenging one, that’s why it’s been taking longer than we expected. Ideally we’d have shipped this as a big free update next to the DLC but unfortunately we couldn’t make that happen and didn’t want to hold back the DLC when it’s done and ready to go. We can’t give you a firm release date yet but we’ll try and keep you posted on our progress. This will be 2 player multiplayer with both players in their own kayak, at least for now, as adding more players will complicate things significantly and you’ve been waiting for a while 😉 We’re also in the early stages of development of another DLC environment! I Not much to share beyond that but it’s shaping up nicely and we look forward to showing it off in the future. We’re also taking a critical look at our roadmap, its initial goal for us was mainly to collect feedback on ideas we had but it hasn’t provided much information to the community. We’d like to change that by reworking the roadmap to be more transparent and clear on what we’re working on. In the meantime keep sharing what you’d like to see as that’s still valuable information to us!
