+ Miscellaneous minor bugfixes and standard maintenance (the recent game freezes due to the recente server os upgrade should also be now fixed - contextually, consumable costs have been refunded for players that were stuck in those game)
Steam Next Fest / Ingame Event announcement!
+ "Untrusted: Hackers at Large" (the single player prequel to Untrusted) will be taking part in the Steam Next Fest. The demo will be playable during the event (starting few days priors) and to celebrate, we'll also have a small event in Untrusted starting on October 14th!. You can find a short devlog video here: https://youtu.be/QGPotr2WHfc
Discord Supporter Role update
+ If you'd like to purchase the "supporter" role for the Discord, it is now possible again by purchasing the "Verification Can" in the Steam Store. This also comes with 16k coins and the "Verification Can" avatar. **Please note you can still get image permissions in the discord by getting the "verified" role once you get to L12 with no purchase necessary**. See #how-to-support for additional information. This purchase also grants you the "supporter" badge. The "supporter" badge (but not the "Verification Can" avatar) is also added retroactively to everyone who has purchased a supporter token in the past. This item won't disappear from the store after two months like the old supporter tokens.

Server-side Changes
+ Bots behaviour slightly improved + When using the /setbots command, the lobby leader name will be shown to non-lobby leaders. + Experimental 2 bots per game temporarily enabled + Miscellaneous minor bugfixes/improvements
New Features
+ EXPERIMENTAL: It is now possible to add ChatGPT powered bots to the lobby. The Lobby Creator can use the command "/setbots X" where X is the number of bots to add to the lobby.
-> Please note this feature is experimental and IT MAY BE UNAVAILABLE AT TIMES even for LONG periods (days, weeks) based on development needs <-
There is currently a limit for 2 bots per lobby at this time. It may be reverted to 1 after data has been collected.
Bots right now only spawn as NETSEC. DO NOT EXPECT A FLAWLESS EXPERIENCE (especially as time goes on and people learn to meta-game the bot). The bot currently spawn only as NETSEC. Humans are better to play with and I suggest using the bots only to fill up a minimum sized lobby (and it may be so in the future). There are certainly some tells and it will be improved overtime. Please report in #feedback how badly it performs, especially if you find tells / ways to metagame/manipulate the bot in a way that can be considered unfair.
Suggested bot count:
1 bot with 12 or less human players
2 bots with 13 or more human players

Good news everyone!
