Hey everyone!

We've made the "How to play" info show up the first time you run Swordy (until we have an in-game tutorial) as we were finding some players were missing it... and missing out of dual wielding!

The "How to play" panel is also made to be the first selected panel in the System Menu. It won't show up automatically again after the first run, so hopefully its not annoying. Let us know!

We added kill credits for players getting bashed out of arenas for Deathmatch - we saw several Lets Play videos pointing this out! We also stopped kill credits for self kills (two players holding the same weapon and one is killed by it).

Tweaked the tutorial pop-up bubble to show up less often and other viarious tweaks and fixes.

This is sort of wrapping up immediate patch upates as we are now starting work on SWORDY's first major update ("every 4 to 6 weeks")! We are however still trying to nail down that "random" crash - very sorry if you have been affected by it. Its been troublesome to nail down the source but we are on it.

We are also testing 4+ player support via "DirectInput" - if you have the means and do want to help test it for us you just need to change branches in the SWORDY's "BETAS" tab of the properties in Steam.

To change branches in Steam:

1. Go to your LIBRARY.
2. Find and right click on Swordy.
3. Left click on "Properties".
4. In the "Properties" pop-up window: left click on the "BETAS" tab.
5. In the dropdown select the "directinput" branch.
6. Left click the "CLOSE" button to close the "Properties" window.

Steam should then update Swordy to the "directinput" branch. To confirm: run the game, press select/view/share (System menu) and in the top right it should say "Version 0.1.05 DirectInput test".

Keep the feedback coming in!
