Closing

**There were supposed to be 2 additional missions in this update which involved the Loach & Cobra, but unfortunately, I had to cut them for this update round. They are both over 95% complete, but there's a crash that happens when an enemy dies that I was unable to fix before release. Considering it has been almost two full months since the last content update, I made the decision to get what I have ready out to you all.

I'll take a small break from troubleshooting this crash and start focusing on Update 12, but I'm sure I'll be able to find a fix very soon. When that happens, I'll push out a small patch with those missions included.

Since release, I've had this goal to try and get one content update out every month which worked well for the first few updates, but now that the game is becoming more fleshed out, I'm going to move to a less frequent but higher quality update schedule (this change will only apply to major updates like this one, patches will still be pushed out as soon as possible). I'll still aim for getting updates out on a regular basis, but the time between each one will just be another month or two.

Update 12 will essentially be an add-on to U11, adding a few more missions on Beach, new weapons, and footsteps (finally!). I have some major plans for Update 13 and will release a post soon that goes in depth with what to expect, but, in short, U13 will revise PunjiVR's AI completely. Like I said, I'll have more info on that shortly, so be on the lookout for that!

If you experience any bugs or problems, don't hesitate to let me know through one of the links below or on the Steam forums. Good luck and remember to check for leeches!
