[h3]Update 1.25[/h3]

Changes

• Added Team Deathmatch
  
• Added the map Quadrants by Tasty Biscuit Dev. It's massive, and the perfect size for Team Deathmatch!
  
• Added a spectate button to the escape menu
  
• Removed the " has started spectating" message
  
• Added a Serbian translation to the game (thanks Никола 'NB264' Буљ)
  
• Replaced the logo on the loading screen. Since I'm a solo dev, it was a little confusing to be represented by my studio name, so I swapped it with my own.
  
• The current game mode will now display in Discord rich presence
  
• Changed the spawnpoints on Arena to face the action
  
• Added game mode selection to the create match screen to encourage players to try different game modes
