Wow, this one has been a VERY long time coming, hasn't it? Well, it's finally here! You don't have to worry about being limited to just 3 servers or about servers randomly crashing or going offline, you can create your own lobbies, and you can directly invite your friends through steam! This one took a LOT of code, both adding new code and changing old code, so we're really excited to finally have it out!
With the release of this update, Relentless Expanse finally feels like it's in a fairly stable position, although there's certainly plenty of aspects that can and will be improved upon. Also, we can now start working towards more ambitious updates that change up the gameplay in fun and unique new ways! We'll tease more about updates in the future if they start taking too long, so be sure to join our discord here:

Also, as always, and for this update especially, keep an eye out for any bugs that may have slipped through the cracks! We playtested this one more than we normally do, but it's definitely not perfect (defensive platforms still don't cost energy to fire in multiplayer, although this will be fixed soon), and this update changed a LOT of code, so even though it shouldn't change singleplayer gameplay at all, it's possible that it introduced some new bugs for it.
P.S. Keep an eye out for a MASSIVE announcement within the next few days that will heavily effect the future of Relentless Expanse! I hope you all enjoy the update :)
