NMRiH2 - Halloween 2019 Teaser


[Disclaimer: ALL CONTENT in video is Work in Progress and not only subject to change but has probably changed already]

HEY EVERYONE HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
So here's the deal we were so busy working and making major changes that we broke a bunch of stuff in the process, and then realized that Halloween was days away and we panicked and we put together this quick video for you.
PLEASE join us on discord (https://discord.gg/nmrih), give us your feedback, ask any questions you have, and we will do our best to listen and answer!

We know about the broken Ammocheck UI, we know about the broken crawler, we know about the broken camera at a few spots... We know all of these things, but we want to show you things regardless, because things are cool, and you're cool, and you appreciate cool things.
