Hey everyone!
We wanted to get a fix in for some of the really pressing issues!

Chat Censoring
This is designed to stop racist and/or homophobic slurs, normal swearing is not filtered out. If you see words slipping through please join our discord and let me know what word was used so I can add it to our list.

Shadow Selection Algorithm
We completely revamped the Shadow Selection Algorithm, there was a bug with our old system so we changed the way we did it completely. Now it fairly chooses who should be the shadow and tracks between maps properly!

Server Passwords
DLC owners and anyone level 15 or above can now password lock their servers.

• Now properly displays a message when shadow isn't selected in time
  
• Now properly displays a message when shadow quits
  
• Sound mixes are reset when the player returns to the lobby
  
• Fixed the spelling of "refrigerator" (sorry guys i'm illiterate)
  
• Scaled down settings menu so it should fit in small resolutions
  
• Fixed "Get to the pool of light" sound not being affected by volume reduction
  
• Disabled falling noise when the player is being corrupted
  
• Removed the ability to try and kick yourself from the lobby (you silly people)
  
• Fixed the spelling for "Quality" in settings (I tried to see if my spelling would catch on.... it didn't... it's fine)
  
• Fixed a host seeing the "You were kicked" after kicking a player
  
• Fixed dialog boxes ganging up on the player and not leaving after you click ok once ( Dialog gangs are a serious issue plaguing players since the late
  90s)
  
• Added art for Shadow Bears ability
  
• Adjusted spawn code (haven't tested with a full server yet)
  
• Fixed a floor you could walk through in Yule Town

Hey everyone!

After hearing some concerns about not being able to level up, I have enabled leveling for free to play players. Cosmetics are still locked but now you can progress and if you choose to buy the Full Version DLC later on, your levels will carry over to it.

Also lowered falloff sound for bears falling and increased taunt cooldown time.
