Upcoming Updates

• The tutorial is planned to have an overhaul in an upcoming patch.
  
• Support for the in-game chat through gamepads.
  

Patch Notes

• Fixed new bug where pieces didn't properly move after winning, causing ghost pieces to be left behind.
  
• Fixed train not colliding with certain objects.
  
• Fixed gamepad inputs not being remappable in the options menu (note that only the action options are remappable, you cannot rebind movement and aiming).

Upcoming Updates

• It is possible for players to remove the gamepad movement and aiming bindings permanently by remapping them to use keyboard controls as well. We will be preventing that in a future patch.
  
• It is currently possible to soft-lock the tutorial by letting the train run over you now that this does damage. The tutorial is planned to have an overhaul in an upcoming patch which will also address this.
  
• Support for the in-game chat through gamepads.
  

Patch Notes

• An in-game chat system is now available! The chat system will now allow you to talk to your opponent with some pre-set messages. By default this is bound to the "C" key, but you can change this if you like.

Patch Notes

• Reworked and added LODs to various in-game assets for further GPU optimizations (based on our testing you should see anywhere from 5-10% less GPU usage from the previous update).

• Fixed the Bishop getting stuck after gliding.
