Patch Notes
Our first focus was to do some immediate fixes according to player feedback. Some highllights include improved unit positioning and improved building targeting. We'll keep working on these further, but try these and keep us posted on what you think: The exact feedback helps us pinpoint how to change the unit AI to better respond to player expectations. Since it's Friday we'll enter weekend mode and might not be that active until Monday but keep the feedback coming - we'll get to it as soon as we can.

What We're Working on
Part 2 Opening
As promised, we'll be moving quickly regarding new content, so this is already in private testing.
If you're really eager to test the next part in the closed test branch, DM "knotto" on 10tons discord channel #undeadhorde-2-general-chat (server is discord.gg/10tons). Please note answering might take a while outside office hours in local Finnish time. This is the most untested branch and for some parts basically work in progress, so backup your saves or use a different save slots. Only for the bravest!
Necrodome
Unlike Undead Horde, this game will have an endless challenge arena and it will be called Necrodome. We'll release the first version in the beta branch as soon as we can so. The you can always face off against endless waves of living while we work on opening the next area. The exact date is still open, but we hope to do that soon.
Here's a sneak peek from the level editor:
We hope to have it in testing in the near future as well.
