Hi everyone!
I can’t believe it’s been a month already, but we’ve been hard at it, trying to make Revolution into what it was meant to be at first. We were all over your reports and feedback, fixing, readjusting, rebalancing and expanding in the meantime.
Our main focus was fixing game-breaking issues as well as the Workshop issue that came up, as we love seeing your mods shine. This was sorted out, so please make magic happen, we can’t wait to check all your custom stuff out.
This update also takes care of the leaderboard issues with survival levels, as well as many smaller issues with Netricsa, collision, textures and such. More detailed update notes can be found below.
Stay Serious!

NOTE: This update will once again render your saves useless. Unfortunately, this is due to some limitations of the old engine, and there are no workarounds at this point in time. That’s also one of the reasons we are trying to provide you with substantial updates less frequently, rather than smaller updates that would break saves constantly. Sorry about that.
In the future, we will be keeping one older build live even after updates, so you can continue with your progress in case you don’t feel like you’d benefit from the update. We use a similar thing in our other games as well.
