We have some news for you today regarding the update which was planned for September, 'Background Work Part 1 - Open Beta'. Sadly we won't be getting the update out by the end of the month as we had hoped to. This update is a large undertaking, and as many of you already know, work on this update and beyond has been done in the background over the past months alongside the regular updates.
When a situation like this arises, we often have two choices:
1) Release the update even though we're not quite where we wanted to be
2) Hold back and give ourselves more time to improve upon the update
We've opted for option 2 - we feel this is the best option for you all even if it does sadly mean you'll have to wait a bit longer. Because of this, the September update, 'Background Work Part 1 - Open Beta' will now become the October update.
We will be getting this update onto the unstable branch as soon as we can in October, but we don't have an exact date yet. (If you wish to opt into the unstable branch, please join the Discord for more info) The update will now release to the public by the end of October.
Keep an eye out for news! Soon we'll be sharing your first look at the exciting new update, as well as the Q4 2020 roadmap.
Thank you,
The Flashing Lights Team
