Galactic Feud Phoenix V.1
Hey everyone! After the release we noticed a lot of people were having problems with network lag, I've spent the time since then optimizing both graphics and network code to help alleviate this! On top of that we've also gone to a newer version of Unreal Engine and have given the maps a little bit of a visual overhaul!
