- Death Stair Update - 15 November 2016
New Mode Clouds is the newest addition to Death Stair’s mode list. The new map has Runners ascending a path of clouds to the heavenly gates at the top. The Gunner has been given three new weapons to fend off the other player, tridents, boulders and lightning orbs. Tridents are precision weapons that hit hard and fast, boulders are very large and roll straight down towards the bottom and the lightning orbs send out shockwaves to limit Runners progress. Fixes - Stabilised build - Polished and fixed UI - Updated some character animations

- Known Bugs and Fixes! - 8 July 2016
Hey all, Wanted to keep a list of bug reports and fixes to avoid double ups during the beta. So far most of the bugs we are encountering are menu related. Keep posting those reports through the button in the game menu. It all helps! BUGS BUG Game seems to be crashing randomly in some matches. We are currently working through log files to determine what is happening. BUG If you play 2 consecutive rounds players can press the dodge button to adjust the camera inside the character mesh. This will cause a crash at the end of the game. FIX IN PROGRESS BUG Better keyboard support on the way. ALL menus can be navigated with a keyboard they are just not very well signposted. Backspace currently takes you back to the previous menu. You may need to hold it down in some screens. This is being reworked into a simpler format asap. BUG You can vote on all 3 modes even though we are currently only bet…
