I just released an update to the lobby client that optimises image preloading of the theme and other areas. The load saved game menu has been cleaned up and rearranged with a minimap for each save now. Confirmation dialogs for deletion and interrupt loading of saved games have been fixed. Scrollbars are now a bit more vivid when selected.

Legion Heat and Napalm stuff got a long-awaited update. More burn, better heat, and less performance cost.

Legion Air is now almost complete, along with a shiny new tower. Read on for details!

Reworked collision, pathfinding test.

I can finally declare that the maps metadata project has reached 1.0! Now, when a new map is created, it takes only minutes and a single approval to push a new map to all players instead of days or weeks of the previous error-prone process.

I just released a new map called Azurite Shores. It should support team games 2vs2 to 8vs8. Give it a try and let me know what your think in #mapping.

If you’d like to help us keep BAR a sane place and you’d be up for watching a few replays in a usual week, we’d like you to sign up for the Overwatch team. :) Head to https://discord.com/channels/549281623154229250/1097438343861649458, or read more below.
