    Bit of an update

    Sorry there's been no update yet, we've been incredibly busy the past couple of weeks getting our first demo video ready.

It's pimarily a multiplayer game, though the planned design includes significant single player elements, though these are always carried out within the multiplayer envirnoment. Our early stress testing so far has indicated a likely limit of twenty...
