Day 1 Patch and Thank You
Hey Everyone,
We hope you're having tons of fun battling the Machine Legion - from what we can make out, you most certainly are! The response thus far has far exceeded our expectations and we are overwhelmed by the positive feedback and support we've received. Many thanks to all of you! It pleases us greatly that our hard work and effort is bringing so many of you joy (and frustration, though the good kind, hehe!).
For those of you who are unaware, we deployed a Day 1 patch to address some quick issues. The full changelog below. We'll be continuing to update SYNTHETIK over the coming days and weeks, so be sure to pass on your feedback and bug reports, either on the Steam forums or in the Discord channel
Changelog

Over the next week, our main aim is to address some of the most common issues we're hearing about, namely, co-op connectivity and controller support.
There's still plenty more in the works and we're very much open to your suggestions, again, through Steam or Discord (it helps us keep track of everything). So, please let us know what you like/dislike and what more you'd like to see - we're all ears!
We'd like to thank you all again for your kind words and support (it means the world to us) and especially, thanks to all of you who helped shape SYNTHETIK through the closed beta.
'Til next time!
- Eric & Alex
