Its been long since the last DevLog! But as always, I've been busy. This new version brings us closer to the actual EA release on steam, which will be happening very soon. As the EA release will include the campaign mode, I've been spending a lot of time on that. Then there was the lobby UI that was bugging me a bit, and I've been improving the dedicated servers so that I can now host multiple servers at the same time, running different game modes. Hooray!
