addedIt's our first Steam Update! Hopefully I'm posting these release notes in the right place!This build has a ton of fixes, but the really big stuff is: finally you're not just a number in the lobby, you've got your real name! we added statues and a bar on Terrace, which will separate it even farther from the old Double Modern map and from Balcony, excited to see how the meta evolves on this map now the post-tutorial new user experience should be a lot better...it's not where it needs to be yet but it should be much more clear now see below for the big list of fixes and features! Enjoy, and let me know if there are bugs! Chris
