Thank you all for your support. Welcome to this month’s new version the 1.509 release!
This release brings us by popular demand: map markers and waypoints, a new tutorial map with a startup quest for training new players (just click “Tutorial” on the main menu), a new quest journal (still a work in progress). There was also a lot of improvements to the admin quest editor. The tech-tree/crafting system was refined to fit the game better. As always, numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements all detailed in the change log below having to do with animation and physics. Also fixed was the spawning on a new hosted map without proper loadouts.
Please feel free to contribute to our gamepedia page (https://gearstorm.gamepedia.com/GearStorm_Wiki), particularly with default keymap and what they do. Also, check out our website at (www.gearstorm.com).
