Development update (Bots, lobby system and more)


We're still hard at work on the big Marooners update. Launch frame is +/- 4 weeks from now. We've created about 20-30 new weapons and have a lot of work done on AI and lobby/connection improvements. Above is a preview of a lobby system overhaul, this should help address all issues and confusion when setting up any type of match. To recap the contents of this update: "Our main focus is the issue of when no other players are online to play with. By adding AI and changing game flow(lobby) and possibly even game mode setup we'll make sure you can always play and more people will stick around in online sessions. Last but not least, we'll also be adding some extra content!" Thanks for all your ongoing support, please keep spreading the word :)!
