Item Binding

We've gotten a lot of feedback about it being challenging to select a certain item in the heat of battle, so we hope this feature helps. In the pause menu, navigate to an item using the controller, press A to enter binding mode, and then press one of the dpad buttons. Pressing that button in-game will now swap to that item. More than one item can be bound to the same button - hit that button multiple times to cycle through them. For mouse & keyboard, simply select an inventory item and press a number key from 0-9. Press the same key again to clear a binding. Once a binding has been set, it should be remembered across multiple sessions.

Endless Mode Progress

Our 3 brand new stages for Endless Mode are coming along nicely. Here are some teasers of ideas we're playing around with (you might need to right-click and Show Controls to play the vids): [video]https://files.facepunch.com/ryleigh/1b0911b1/walls.mp4[/video] [video]https://files.facepunch.com/ryleigh/1b0911b1/hell.mp4[/video] [video]https://files.facepunch.com/ryleigh/1b0911b1/garden.mp4[/video]

Workshop Documentation

We've also been working on documenting everything you'll need to know to create your own stages. You'll have access to everything we used when building the levels in the game, so we're really excited to see what you'll come up with when the documentation and tools go public.
