https://youtu.be/wc0VUzM_7-Q

In this milestone-packed update, we celebrate a huge breakthrough: fully player-driven co-op sessions—no dev hand-holding needed! With structured feedback flowing in from our new Discord channel and active testers, we’ve entered a new phase of real-time iteration.

[h3]🔧 Highlights from the Latest CERC HQ[/h3]

• Seamless level transitions
  
• Player role color assignments
  
• Strobe ID team awareness system
  
• Full-screen tactical maps
  
• Horde AI replication improvements
  
• Reworked operator possession
  
• New gate and turret mechanics
  

Despite bugs like jittery spawns and overpowered blow-up units, the most recent playtest was our most fun, stable, and intense yet. RTS players and operators coordinated live for a true taste of what's to come.
