Contestants!
Such an exciting occasion, my circuits are truly quivering with anticipation!
We’ve had a great Streamer Event, with a number of talented streamers playing my game for tons of hours and more than 110.000 hours viewed on Twitch!
It has given me a lot of great feedback, especially streamers like Admiral_Bahroo finding some pretty impressive exploits.
I have of course rectified these imbalances, and would formally challenge him to complete my show with these updated rules!
And now FORCED SHOWDOWN is released!
After 2 and a half years of toiling, I have completed the greatest show the galaxy will ever see.
Are you ready to participate?
If you think so, check out this awesome advertisement I made for it.
My empathy-conduit is instructing me that humans like sappy stories, so I must show you this great story about my dwarven workers’ story in getting my show finished.
But if you think this is the end of the journey, you are wrong!
I will naturally continue towards my ultimate objective; making the UNIVERSE’S greatest game show!
Stay tuned for updates, fixes and more!
Below is the full changelog for Update 40:
