Welcome back
It's time to start off 2019 with a big patch. Update 21 is now live and it includes a few key changes we've been building towards for some time now.
The multiplayer code has been internally reworked. It should be transparent to you when you play, but it is now way better than before. There's a huge improvement in latency as well for those who were affected. Please keep in mind everyone needs to be on the same version for the matchmaking to work.
Steam invites are now back, but still a work in progress. Please try them out and let me know if it breaks anything.
The game's install size has been reduced considerably, and game stutters while loading have been eliminated. This was common on the first boss and some rooms.
A note about development. Our time's been taken up by other contract and freelance work for these past months and it will continue from February on, so while updates to the game will be less frequent, we are still working on it and heading towards the final release. Thanks to all who have stuck with us during these past years in Early Access.
