Dear all,The one is huge.

Stamina Regen Improved When Standing Still

A player suggested this. It was a great idea... we added it!

New Player Body Shape

This is a long time coming. The new shape looks a bit better. It's still cartoony, in a good way... but looks a bit less absurd and will be much easier to work with in the future.

New Body Type: Skeleton

Today... the Discord Server mentioned Skeletons.... Playable Skeletons! Just like Robots... And like the Robots... these are only currently available in the modes that allow the player to select their classes. They will be added to more game modes though,.. just like robots!

Skeletons are found in the FANTASY tab.

They're currently a bit laggy if there are too many of them... but we're working to fix that :)

Bugfixes and Optimizations

We've fixed some bugs in the tutorial and have tried to improve the stability of World Mode.

We've also disabled Client Prediction as a default setting again.

We've fixed issues with the Multiplayer Server Bot Matches causing players to lag horrifically despite having great connection
