Huge new update coming soon - co-op, new content, and more!

Hey all! I know we've been a bit quiet for a while and I do apologize for that - but we've been working hard behind the scenes to get this mega update out - and the end is finally in sight!

We're finishing up the update this week, and then plan to head into a short closed beta to make sure there are no major issues - and then we'll be releasing it immediately on Steam.
