It's time for another BIG patch, once again bringing more fixes, map adjustments, balance tweaks, and two huge new features: Spectator support and Streamer instance support. I'm extremely excited about these in particular because they allow for exciting and unique match perspectives for viewers of live streams.

Spectator Mode

Simply join a lobby and don't choose a hero, and you'll be spectating that match! Spectators can choose to view the game as the players do - but also through a new visibility mode that shows invisible players as silhouettes.

Streamer Instance

Activate the "eye" button on the title screen to launch a second copy of Invisigun alongside the first - and it has a completely unique set of preferences. Coupled with spectator mode, this lets you participate in matches in the first game while streaming a separate spectator copy for your viewers in the second game. Public matches are time-delayed to prevent abuse, while private matches are real-time. For an in-depth overview of a common streaming + spectating setup, check out LEmental's detailed overview here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1107056480 This hopefully opens up a whole new world of sharing the game's action with others, and I hope you enjoy the slew of other updates with the patch.

Invisigun Heroes is a multiplayer, single-screen stealth battle arena with a twist: everyone’s invisible! Predictable grid-based movement ensures that you know where you are, but other players don’t. Vigilance is key as environmental tells such as footprints and other disturbances will point out careless cadets. Using special abilities and firing your Invisigun will also momentarily give you away. Along with items and powerups, these mechanics reward stealth, trickery, reflex, forethought, deception, bluffing, and awareness. A variety of lovingly-made environments, maps, game modes, and abilities combine for high replayability and a deep path to mastery.
