Big thanks again to all supporters that bought the game in Early Access. I can safely continue developing the game - moving steadily towards full release. Here's the gist of what I've been doing the past month: (all of this is obviously a work in-progress - feedback appreciated!) * REMADE MAIN MENU
Clean, minimalist emphasizing a return to a basic style of the game itself * NEW MENU COLOR SCHEME
Simple militaristic in-game menus color scheme * ADDED SERVER GREET MESSAGE
A new "Source engine" style greet message when joining the game. Shows basic game info + modifiers + greet message (editable by admin) * ADDED FLAG CAPTURE CAM AND WIN CAM
If somebody captures a flag or wins a match in deathmatch he/she gets highlighted * BETTER PERFORMANCER AND FASTER LOADING TIMES Can't emphasize enough how much time and effort has gone into making this game FAST! Everything is faster including the dedicated server and in-game editor! * REWORKED NET CODE I rewrote a bunch of the netcode and fixed multiple network issues. Net code is MUCH smoother now. However there are some new bugs which I'll be fixing in the upcoming weeks. * ADDED CLIENT/SERVER C# SCRIPTING A big addition for modders and server admins. The top-level scripts governing Rules like Capture the Flag have been moved to C# scripts available for everyone to modify. Also game mode files have been moved to editable .json files. Super easy to create new game modes now! * EDITOR IMPROVEMENTS, FIXES AND BETTER UI LAYOUT * CLASSIC MAPS REMADE A community effort - thanks to all the contributors!

I feel the visuals and game feel aren't there. I decided to postpone a public release and return back to the drawing board... So I'm experimenting with improving the visual style. Here's a screenshot of a test called "comics + Apocalypse Now":
