Repeated intro

Hello, Robot Arena fans, We have an important update to share with you this morning. Robot Arena III will be releasing tomorrow as scheduled, but it will be releasing as an Early Access title. We see this as ultimately good news for the game and for you the players, but we wanted to explain why we decided to take this path. We committed to releasing Robot Arena III on May 26 and because of the huge amount of excitement we've seen about the game, we didn't want to disappoint the community by missing that date. However, some recent changes by third-party plugins used by the game caused last-minute issues with certain parts of the game, particularly the multiplayer. We are confident we can fix them, but we wouldn’t be able to do so by Thursday. The game is mostly complete. The major issue for now is that only two-player multiplayer will be available at launch, with four-player multiplayer coming within the next few weeks. Therefore, we have decided to release the game on Thursday, May 26 as an Early Access title so players will still be able to play the game on the 26th as planned, with only a small chunk of the planned feature set missing. We only plan to be in Early Access for a few weeks as we resolve the issue with four-player multiplayer and a handful of other small issues. Launching in Early Access will ultimately result in a better game, as we will listen seriously to every bit of feedback from the community and work hard to address every issue they identify. We are grateful to the Robot Arena community and are still confident that they will enjoy the game that’s released on May 26th.
