We've been hacking through all the feedback we've received post Early Access Launch, and appreciate all the support you guys have given us!
We are excited to launch our first regular update in Early Access. Make sure to also join our Discord ~ it's the best way to connect with the devs!
First up, some bugfixes!
MacOS Catalina microphone fix As some of you know and have helped us to gain more info, the MacOS Microphone Issue is not yet completely fixed. With the issue being bigger than we thought, we are back to our dev caves to fix this problem. Please stand by <3
Invalid loadouts due to swapping accounts & selection of unowned items/perks/characters/skins should no longer cause selections to break.
Upgrades to In-game UI
Added new visuals for player voice and text chat
All players are now visible with their name, class and a character portrait in the top left of the screen. Aliens see their partner persistently in purple.
Dead players can see all roles in the top left
Voice hotkeys are now persistently visible in the top left.
Alien text chat now writes in purple in the text entry field.
Added a new frame for character health bars which is much cleaner than the old one.
Added health ticks at every interval of 25 HP and a large tick at every 100 HP interval.
Updated the backgrounds in the character selection and end game screens.
For the Socials
Added a button in-game that allows you to add players as steam friends. This button is beside the names of players in the TAB menu, end game screen, and in match history.
Match History
Added match history for the last 30 games, located in the Ship's Log tab Selecting any match will give a detailed breakdown of the match including all player stats and friend buttons for each player. NOTE: Games played before this patch will be missing ability and perk data as this data was not being recorded on a per-player per-game basis until now.
Ascension 6+
Added an infinite number of ascensions after ascension 5.
Ascensions 6+ are guaranteed to only roll golden perks and have slightly lower level up costs than Ascension 5.
The purpose of ASC 6+ is to allow players who have maxed characters to reroll in the following situations:
When they feel like it.
Allowing access to roll newly added perks in future content updates.
Ascensions 6+ are represented by a single golden star and wreath beside a character class in the progression tab.
Kickstarter Skins are back!
The following Kickstarter skins have been upgraded and added back into the game
Bronze Otto
Silver Xenna
Gold Lucian
Mr. Diamond Monkus
Each skin includes a custom repair kit skin.

[FIXED] Unexpected Server Maintenance
[Update] Seems like we ran out of storage space because of all the games you all played. We have cleared up some space now, and will be looking into fully squashing this issue as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the game is back online and fully functional. Thank you for sticking with us <3
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Original Post ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Since 2020-05-24 16:00 UTC (9AM PST), the servers for Enemy On Board seemed to have gone down.
We are currently investigating the source of this issue, and are working as fast as possible to bring the game back up.
We will be editing this announcement with updates as we progress.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience!
We'll be back online soon :)
Patch Notes v1.0.1
Now that we're finally in Early Access, we have a whole new set of challenges.
The most difficult of all so far have been struggling over naming the version of our Patch Notes ;)
Did we want to do "v1.1" or "v1.0.1" or should we just call them "hotfixes"? Do we want to save version 1.0 for launch? Maybe we should just give them all cool-sounding names?
So we decided that for now, we will use the format:
v ..
Just a little insight into how we will do things ːsteamhappyː
Patch Notes v1.0.1
We've been listening to a ton of feedback from the community, and this week, we wanted to address some of the low-hanging-fruit problems and issues.
Voice upgrades to hopefully fix some microphone issues
Note: Players with MacOS may still experience microphone issues. This issue is still one of our highest priority.
Bug fixes for Tooltips and Game End Screen
Upgrading our "Report Player" functionality, including ban visibility
When reporting players, there are now categories for grievances (ie. Hate Speech, Offensive Name, Teaming, etc). In addition, banned players will receive a pop-up when they log into the game explaining their banned condition.
Starting Item Unlocks for progressing new players
Players will now be introduced to each new starting item over the course of a few games played.
With each new starting item unlock, there will be a descriptive pop-up detailing how the item is used.
We are still working on a ton of other new features and fixes to address the needs of our community. Lots more to come very soon!
Hop into the Discord to check our #dev-diaries channel to see what exactly we're working on, and to chat with us about how we can make the game better!
