Public Beta Testing for version 1.1 (new map!)

Panicore fans!

Patch 1.1 is on a good way and we would like to announce something that might interest you:

We don't want to keep you waiting, so we have decided to include ALL changes INCLUDING the new map to public beta version 1.1

What's missing? Why public beta?
Missing content is: translations, achievement implementations and some lore elements.
The main reason for the delay of the patch is a bug that sometimes causes disconnections after losing a game for some reason - it is slowly getting better and we are sure we can find the issue and fix the problem even better with more players playing the beta version of 1.1!

Have fun and let us know what you think! :)
