Hello everyone,
This update is probably one of the largest updates the game has seen to date. This update contains a ton of new content for everyone to play. This release is also the first of hopefully many releases that focuses on multi-player based gameplay.

- The current raid can be completed with 4 players.

- Can add up to 4 players to a party
- You can send party invites to players nearby you even if you aren't friends with them
- You can enter the raid with your party
- Player Menu
- The all-new player menu has a ton of great features:
- Volume settings (music, sound effects, voice chat)
- Mute mic
- Change quality settings in game
- Respawn character
- Notifications screen

- The all-new player menu has a ton of great features:

If you experience issues or bugs in this patch, please post on the steam page or in the Discord and I will try to get it fixed by next Tuesday's release. Also the load time for the game is a couple seconds longer now than it was before. I will address this in a future patch, it is not a bug.
I will also post a release schedule for June soon. The first week of June will focus on bug fixes but I expect to have another big release at the end of June.
Thanks all,
John
