Hey everyone,
First of all, apologies to everyone for how long it has taken to get back to updates. Now, this first update back focuses on stability of 0.8 and fixing some of the main issues that were plaguing the experimental build for too long. After this, more will be looked into actual features and more improvements. Then finally, 0.8 stable which will close out phase 1 of the roadmap and onto the more exciting things I showed in the last dev update! This post will be updated with experimental patch notes. To get onto experimental do this -> Right click Surroundead, Properties, Game Versions & Betas, select experimental.
It should also be said that saves on 0.8 will not work with 0.7 so make sure to backup your save if you want to go back.
Experimental Patch Notes - 29/09
