- **added** — Survival and Coop game modes are back
- **added** — Town area where players can meet other players and explore outside
- **added** — Parts system where parts drop by chance from any enemies instead of only at the end of games
- **changed** — Gameplay redesigned to be simpler and more fun, combining elements from AirMech Arena and AirMech Wastelands

It's a been a long time coming, but we are ready to more widely test the biggest update to AirMech in years. Consider this the "Director's Cut" of the game, taking our favorite things from AirMech Arena, combining that with parts of AirMech Wastelands, and just going back to simpler more fun gameplay.

Survival and Coop are back and front and center. We have the basics of a Town area to meet other players and even explore outside. Parts are back, and drop by chance from any enemies, not just at the end of games.

We'll talk more about this later giving a full rundown of what is in this new version and what is coming--if we survive 24 hours. We may revert back to the older Strike build if things don't go smoothly.
