Repeated intro

Hello test subjects! We've just put a build (v1.09) up on the Beta branch (password: dodrugsnothugs). It has another fix for non-host players leaving mid-match. Previously the player's character despawned once the player left, but not anymore. Instead the character dies after it's done doing whatever it's doing and the host tries to continue the game's state. This is hopefully a lot more stable so if anyone feels like grouping up and playing the beta and testing it a bit we'd be very grateful. NB: Being on the beta branch will make it so that you don't share lobbies with people on the main branch, so bear that in mind if you're hoping to play with random groups. Either way we plan for the fix to make it's way to the main branch in a day or two once we're reasonably sure it's an improvement. Thank you for all the feedback, The Side Effects Team
