Please vote here whether free aim (or floating aim) should be disabled by default. This feature would still be optional in client settings, or forceable in server config settings.

What feature should we focus on after launching into early access on Steam?

What features should we focus on after launching into early access on Steam?

We're getting closer to our early access release date on Steam, and we're going to launch with a lot of features that I'm pretty proud of, including full mod support and single player.

However, after we launch... we need to decide on what features we should be developing next. I think this makes the most sense to let our Patreon supporters decide.

First person perspective of vaulting.

This feature is the last feature we planned on implementing before fully moving over to polish of existing features in preparation for our early access launch. Our focus now will be on improving AI, hooking up the Steam Workshop, improving sound effects, improving our options to include things like toggle ADS, as well as many other tweaks to overall improve the game. Can't wait to get this out into everyone's hands.

Patreon now supports videos!

After many many years of requesting this feature from the Patreon team... we finally have the ability to upload content directly to Patreon! No more demonetization, no more worrying about notifications being delivered! More content coming soon!
