Further big stuff A new hordemap (Ethereal)

I've added a new horde map. This one contains fast moving enemies in a weird otherworldly place.

Horde mode now has gun buying, a roguelike feature

Yup, you can no longer use all guns. You need to spend hard earned points to buy them. Choose wisely as the points are deducted from your highscore. Are you going to buy that handcannon? Or keep shooting with what you have?

Small improvements Most guns now have a brightend-up reticle to more be able to aim more easily

Muzzleflashes have a distinct bullet trajectory and detach from the gun (looks way more natural then before)

The leaderboards have been reintroduced an can be seen in the main lobby

Performance I've chosen to go to an almost completely baked lighting system. This has a tremendous effect in some maps on performance in the positive sense. If you've played the game before I'd love to hear if your performance has increased.

Hope to hear what you all think so join the discord or leave a comment! Kind regards, Ray
