Today we're releasing Update 0.24, a smaller patch focused on quality of life improvements and bug fixes. This update introduces a new mission modifier called “Sentry Turret”.
With summer coming to an end, the team is now back after taking some well-deserved time off over the past few weeks. During the summer, development on our next major update has also continued, including work on the new playable map. We're making good progress and look forward to showing you more very soon.
As always, we've also fixed a number of issues reported by the community since the last update.
You can find the full changelog below, and we'd love to hear your thoughts once you've had a chance to try the update.
