    As much as I like Block Fortress (and I do. I consider it possibly the tactically deepest game for the platform), these are the biggest news for me. To this day, I haven't played a single Foursaken game that I don't believe wouldn't be paradigmically awesome with online multiplayer.

    And yeah, I'm not letting go of that dream of a competitive (but far more tactically varied and interesting) Bug Heroes-DotA-like either, now less than ever ;)

    Hey Foursaken and Foursaken_Tom :)

    You said the update was submitted a week ago... did ya'll have to resubmit or something? Usually doesn't take this long?

    Can you at least post the changelog or update info so we can know what's coming :)

    Thanks! Looking forward to it!

    Yep, we did have to resubmit... found an issue a few days in that probably would have gotten us rejected >_< Already resubmitted and I think we should be good for next week though, as long as it gets through approval of course (which usually takes anywhere from 5-7+ days, btw).

    Notable additions besides co-op are a few new flat maps, 2 new bots (one premium and one free), and a bunch of fixes!


    Change-log:

    • added GameCenter co-op multiplayer with support for up to 4 players!
    • added the ability to create, upload, and download maps for use in co-op games
    • added two new flat terrain types - swamp and tundra - with rare blue and white minerals
    • added GameCenter leaderboards for the new terrain types, flat plains, and multiplayer modes
    • added two new bots - a long-range sniper bot and a FREE light bot
    • added a new storage crate box (handy for storing and transferring resources in multiplayer games)
    • optimized save game files so downloading and uploading should be much faster (for games saved starting from version 1.3 and later)
    • fixed a bug that would cause you to stop shooting when you started to fall
    • fixed a bug that would cause land mines to explode when you or your bot walked on them
    • fixed a bug that would cause shotgun to shoot only one bullet
    • fixed a bug where some terrain would be missing a corner block, allowing you to fall through the ground into oblivion
    • fixed a bug that would cause some supported blocks to fall when deleting nearby blocks
    • fixed a bug that would cause enemies to get stuck when they fell into water
    • increased the reload time of heavy plasma

    Whenever there's an update I keep thinking and hoping it's this, but it ends up not being that way.
