Added:

Ability to choose between Arcade and Free controls. Free changes the left stick to a steering wheel, with the directions always being relative to the car. Arcade is still "headless" mode. Free also makes RT accel and LT reverse. As you might be aware, having to remap the face buttons to the other functions would make aiming the turret and firing with your right thumb impossible. So, fire is X and Alt-Fire is Right Trigger button. Try it out and let me know what you think.
Local games behave like private lobbies with no countdown timer to ready up.
Fixed:

Sound issue on the menu
Bug preventing local games from starting
Bug preventing exiting a game after you had previously exited a game
Bug preventing the options menu from loading in a lobby
The ability to remap controls is very important, and will probably show up next, along with passworded private lobbies, followed by the race game mode and the new map. Player profiles is important but is not game breaking right now. Please give feedback!

Here's what's coming soon for DeathCrank. Be sure to chime in here to help influence what is next!

New Map! We have a map used during development with some environment hazards. Just need to spruce it up visually and we're good to go.
Ability to join games in progress.
Change private lobbies to visible but locked with password.
Race game mode. This is a big one! The logic works perfectly local, needs to be refined for net play.
Give option for traditional vehicle-game controls. That is, ability for LT and RT for accel and reverse, and ability for Left Stick to steer according to the car's orientation (e.g. left on the stick is left on screen when travelling up on screen, but right if travelling down on screen).
Bind custom controls.
Keyboard and mouse controls (one per local of course).
Add icons and more visible visual aids for currently loaded weapon, or power-up.
Just so you know, we're still amped for the game and need your help to tell your friends and help prepare for full release!

v.10

Fixed issue making it impossible to back out of local play if 2 controllers are not plugged in
Fixed round end music volume issue
Fixed ctf flags spawning multiple times if you are frozen while carrying a flag
Fixed flamethrower sound not stopping if a net player ran out of ammo or
picked up another weapon
There is no longer a countdown in private lobbies when two or more players join, only public lobbies
v.09

Fixed CTF mode
As always, the feedback from players is really important. Please add yourself to the game community and find others who are playing to do some multiplayer combat! My favorite is 2v2 CTF, it's just about the most fun you can have as a human. Also, remember we're live every weekday at twitch.tv/arconyx. Please come by the channel and engage in the development!
