addedUpdate #199 - Build 32904 February 4th, 2015Happy Year of the Goat everyone! The Chinese celebrations have so much character to them that time and time again players really enjoy them. We gave them Christmas, and they give us New Year's events with fun themes--12 different animals, and fun things like Red Envelopes. So much stuff to give out! We're also switching out the gift with purchase to something fitting the New Year theme--the Silver Ram Head ! Named silver to represent wealth, we almost renamed it since it is only silver for the blue team--that's right, it has full teamcolor support! And if that wasn't enough, it also gives +5% Kudos when worn ingame! What skin do you think will go best with it? The new Decay map continues to get tweaks to make it more playable, and the basic editor features should be restored now so you can at least mess around a bit in Sandbox mode.
