version: 1.0.6 The Flare Gun and the Uzi have been unlocked for everyone to playtest in multiplayer! Their official release will be with our first update, 1.1: Buzzbots. Enjoy them in the meantime as we fine tune them.
In addition to the weapons, we added a bunch of much requested indicators. A friendly fire warning for TDM, team indicators, win and loss indicators and visuals, and gravity slow sound effects should improve the player experience vastly.
We reduced the CPU load of all major systems. Also, setting graphics to 'Low' now reduces CPU load by lightening the IK bodies.
Pending bug hotfixes, next up is Update 1.1 - Buzzbots...
