#0.6.0.2
Auto patching launcher
Since we started patching the game more rapidly with smaller change logs, we understand that it's hard to keep up with the updates, and that it becomes tedious to manually download the game for every update. Therefore, we've added a launcher that self-updates the game. Now you only need to download the game client once from itch.io.
Other benefits are that you will only download the changes between patches, so this saves bandwidth for you. We also save time since we from now on can one-click updates for each platform, instead of manually zipping and uploading to itch.io like we've used to.
We've changed the version numbering system to accommodate the patcher.
Added South America as multiplayer region
This community request means that if you're in South America you can now play with your friends with better latency.
macOS is gone!?
We need to notarize the game with an Apple Developer account to make sure the new game launcher works, so that you don't get "file can't be opened" error message, and so that you don't have to follow a multiple steps guide to bypass the error message and be able to open the game. We are seeking to notarize the game soon.
