**Hotfix 1.1.2 Updated 10/5**
Pilots get ready... CLANS are now available to CREATE and JOIN! For a LIMITED TIME in early access clan creation is available for an introductory 5000 Gold minimum (introductory period TBD) and may change at a later date. Make friends in the air and take pride in customizing your banners with a variety of symbols and colors. Also be very afraid of Super Bit Machine's very own Super Bits!
This week we've focused on an in-game feature you've all wanted back for a long time and finally we're happy to bring the Clan System back in proper form. Update 1.1.1 also focused in fixing many dreadful game-breaking bugs including the infamous Chat-Stuck bug (at least suppressed for now), Dead/Not-Dead (Undead?) bug, and various VFX and Audio glitches that ran away from us last week.
A few more QoL in-match changes include a relatively small comeback mechanism for players that have been killed 3x in a row: a shield now spawns with you to help you get back on your feet and in the air. While we focus on creating a FTUE, we feel this minor change can help all players (especially our new members) ease their way into flying with veterans—we'll see if this is retained in the future as well.
Badges, oh my! A TON of new badges are now available and even updated to reflect the current look/feel of Armajet. And speaking of updates, Medals have undergone a new graphical treatment as well—give us a shout with some of your new favorites!
We hope you enjoy Update 1.1.1 for now... these are certainly not the only 'Treats' this month but definitely gives us some time to work on a few incoming 'Tricks'... stay tuned!
See you in the skies, Pilots!
