Hey Folks!
It's been two weeks and a trade show since our last update!
Quick select for inventory added!
Combining the continuous feedback we get from you guys, and over-the-shoulder ogling we get to do at trade shows, led to the decision of focusing almost entirely on bug bashing and experience improvement.
New UI implemented
That means this build has a brand spanking new UI, improved screen resolution and controller support. Cheers to plug-and-play fun for the PS3 and PS4 controllers! Not to worry Xbox controllers, our devs are working hard to integrate Xbox Support and will release a dedicated update as soon as it's available.
