We've got some exciting news to share in this dev log.Let's jump right into it.Big news, we are working on a new map!The Planetarium is the first new map for First Class Trouble in 5 years, so getting back into the mindset of what makes a great map took some time.

The main goals of this update are:Upgrading First Class Trouble to |

| Patch 1.7.5 - A Balancing Act | 2022-12-10 | We recently pushed patch 1.7.5 live on all platforms. This patch is small in size, but we hope it proves to bring a big shift in how the game is played.

We have received requests for a ranged weapon for Personoids for a very long time, but have struggled to find a safe and balanced way to implement it. We're hoping this is the correct solution, but we will be keeping a close eye on feedback to make sure. Visually, the Throwable Syringe appears the same as a regular syringe. However, Throwable Syringes spawn randomly and not in Syringe Stands. Whe |
