I was hoping to have the final level and ending ready for this update, but as astute players may recall, last week’s big tech update was… buggier than anticipated. So buggy in fact, that I spent about half of this update cycle in a death crunch of frantic bug fixes, which resulted in no less than 8 hotfixes (I think that’s a record). So, this is a relatively small update. Barring something catastrophic happening to my computer or personal life, next update will be pretty substantial. Stayyyyy tuned! This update's Fortnight Discussion: Leaderboards and Scoring
