Our second update is now available. We have done some fixes and adjustments based on feedback as well as our general experience playing with you all. We have had some good group co-op sessions with those who are active on discord so do not hesitate to hit up the LFG tag in discord if after some Co-op games.
We have been working hard on the new map, which will make for some very close quarter combat situations where positioning will be key. We may not push out an update (patch) next week unless there are some pressing fixes that need to be addressed but we will put out a general information update regardless.
We hope you continue to enjoy Cascading Failure and if you would like to play some games with us feel free to join the discord. We play regular matches with the community, especially on weekends.
