Overview

It’s our first big update since release! Thank you so much for all of the positive feedback, ideas, and support! Keep reading to see what’s new!

Upgrades!

  • Gameplay: 8 player support! Remember, Steam Remote Play supports 8 players in any combination of computers and connections. You can have 5 people on one computer playing with 3 on another computer, 8 people on their own computer, or any combination in between!

  • Gameplay: You can now select your character and color. Because of this, characters don’t randomize each game anymore.

  • Gameplay: We no longer allow the white player color on the skeleton because it makes visibility poor on snow levels.

  • GameplayReworked spawn placement logic so players are more spread out in smaller games

  • Two new maps! Moab 2 and Graveyard 1, bringing us to 26 maps total!

  • Graphics: Upgraded weapon and player visibility. Player outlines, weapon outlines, and weapon wakes are more visible, particularly on bright levels. There are also now 3 levels of outline settings.

  • UI: All players can interact with menus

  • UI: You can now enter the pause menu during the level countdown

  • UI: How To Play video now supports chapters, and you can seek through them with left/right

  • UI: The map name is now displayed at the beginning of each round during countdown to help with bug reporting.

  • UIChanged the messaging at the end of a round if only one player was playing. Once we support bots we’ll remove the ability to play alone since it’s useless.

Fixes!

  • GameplayFixed several cases where the plague would disappear, breaking the game.
  • GameplayFixed a spot in the bottom right corner of Ice 1 where players could sometimes get stuck briefly.
  • GraphicsFixed low quality mode looking exceptionally bad. Now it only looks kinda bad.
  • UIFixed many bugs, including buttons randomly not receiving focus when they should and the action bar not always showing up, particularly at round start.

  • UI: Greatly optimized character selection screen performance.

  • ControlsRemoved the half-working keyboard controls. If this is an issue for you, let us know and we can revisit adding them but in a more supported way.
  • ControlsDisabled debug press of right joystick, causing player to go to ragdoll
  • AudioFixed several sounds that ignored the general SFX volume
