A new month, a new event! This update brings the Wedding event for July, which contains a bunch of new items and some decoration.
We also hope to have improved latency issues for all players, allowing you to be more accurate with your shots against enemy targets. One downside to this is that you may see someone's shot miss you, but you end up getting hurt or dying anyway. That's just a compromise that had to be made to improve the overall experience. If you'd like more technical details about the weapon netcode, feel free to chat with us in our Discord server!
Unfortunately we weren't able to finish all of our planned features for this update, but we should hopefully be able to get them done within a few weeks. You can look forward to new game modes, outfit storage, customizable key bindings, and possibly more later this month!
