Patch 0.1.1 - Anti-Cheat and Fixes!
Thank you so much for all the support and love for Shotgun Farmers! The response to the game has been more than I could have ever imagined!
Today I released a patch that should help address some of the recent hacking issues. I apologize to anyone who had their play affected by this.
This patch also adds sign posts to show you where the other guns spawn on maps. As requested, a vote/kick feature is in the works for the next patch, along with a switch teams feature. After that I'll be bringing you more hats and unlockable content and getting started on the next map!
If you have any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to share them in the Discussions board.
