The main issue that was fixed was invisible/ghost players - you may have noticed sometimes you suddenly died and the game said you killed yourself. This bug happened when two players joined at the same time, causing the other player to sometimes not load.
Next Steps
I've been writing a few articles on raytraced audio, as well as experimenting with moving voxel objects. Here's a sneak peek:
There's still a lot to learn and figure out, but it will be super cool to have moving and interactive trains, cranes, spaceships, meteors, machinery and more. I think it would make the game feel more alive!
