I hope everyone got a good kick out of the april fools prank, I didn't have much time to plan something so I thought this would give a few of you some laughs. Since everyone seemed understandable about the prank, I think it is fair to show progress on the new update. The new update so far has 1 new map, a hub world (will explain in a bit), and a redesign of an existing map, so lets go down the list: :) First up is the new map. I had shown a picture of it in the last changelog, so I think it is time to provide everyone with a new preview picture of it.
There is quite a bit more detail when compared to the last screenshot, but that doesn't mean it is finished, I will be working on getting this map textured and getting the rest of the detail put into it so everyone can enjoy this brand new map! Onto the redesign of an existing map. This one has been in the game for almost as long as it has been in development (for this version that is). The map I am referring to, is research labs. Now this one hasn't really been updated at all prior to launch and so I have went out of my way to revise it and update it to match a more detailed design to how the rest of the game looks
Now last, but not least, the hub world. This is still in it's early phase of development, but the general concept is that I want a place for people to relax and hang out instead of just going head to head in matches. So the hub world fills that void by allowing users to buy items (using an in-game currency that you can only get by playing the game) and talk with other users. You do not have to host/join a hub world if you do not want, just think of it as a "social" area to hang out. :)
The update was originally supposed to come out today, however due to me not finishing some stuff up, I have to push it back. Now I can confirm that there was going to be easter items to get, and so as a way of saying sorry, when this update launches all easter items will be 50% off :P (hopefully so long as I do not forget). Also, feel free to drop a comment if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Hope everyone had a good easter/april fools day! ~Joseph
