changedHowever, the biggest change - the main reason it took so long for this update - you won't notice since it's in the background. We completely reworked the way levels are created and loaded into the game. As of now, this is no benefit for the player, BUT, it is the base for a much bigger addition which will hopefully be part of the next update: Steam Workshop integration with a level editor! Happy playing to everybody!
