🧠 Dev Recap – From Chaos to Co-Op
https://youtu.be/wc0VUzM_7-Q
In this milestone-packed update, we celebrate a huge breakthrough: fully player-driven co-op sessions—no dev hand-holding needed! With structured feedback flowing in from our new Discord channel and active testers, we’ve entered a new phase of real-time iteration.
🔧 Highlights from the Latest CERC HQ
- Seamless level transitions
- Player role color assignments
- Strobe ID team awareness system
- Full-screen tactical maps
- Horde AI replication improvements
- Reworked operator possession
- New gate and turret mechanics
Despite bugs like jittery spawns and overpowered blow-up units, the most recent playtest was our most fun, stable, and intense yet. RTS players and operators coordinated live for a true taste of what's to come.
