COMP/CON Version 2.0 Launch

Hello everyone,

This itch page has been very quiet for the last few months, but the COMP/CON team has been hard at work on a complete overhaul and upgrade of the app. I'm proud to announce that as of now, COMP/CON has officially moved to version 2.0!

You can check it out at compcon.app. Electron apps will be coming to this itch.io page very soon.

IF COMPCON.APP STILL LOOKS LIKE IT'S ON v1.56, HARD REFRESH YOUR BROWSER

A few important notes: 

• This is a breaking change, meaning your v1.x Pilots will not work. Sorry about that, but making a converter would have delayed this release even longer. The v1.6 Electron apps will remain on this page , and you can find an in-app old pilot exporter under the options menu, if you want to preserve your old pilot data for use in 1.6.
• NPC data requires the purchase of the LANCER Core Book, available as an additional download on its itch.page. COMP/CON will always be free, but it will also reflect the free/paid breakdown of the official materials. If you've purchased LANCER through itch or the kickstarter, you shouldn't have any issues getting this new data. Import it into your app via the Content Manager.
• This new version is largely untested on mobile devices, although it seems to work pretty well in landscape on modern tablets. Over the next few weeks and months we'll be working on getting proper phone and tablet support in.
• COMP/CON now has a Patreon.I'll restate that COMP/CON will always be free and open-source, and patronage won't get you any additional features, and development doesn't depend on Patreon funding. The funds will be used for commissioning artists, writers, and designers to further expand and beautify the software. Patron rewards include artist suggestions and voting, as well as ways to get your ideas for existing and upcoming features into the app.
• The Long Rim mechs have been temporarily removed. They'll be available as content packs soon, downloadable on their itch.io pages. We have a few preview versions available in the #comp-con channel of the LANCER Discord, if you don't want to wait.

As always, please stop by the Official LANCER Discord with questions, comments, or ideas. The new development roadmap is available now as well, in our GitHub Repo. The [2.1] tag items are the things we're going to start work on immediately.

Also, thanks for your patience! You'll begin to see a far quicker and more regular update schedule from here on out.
