Welcome to the 49th edition of our [strike]mostly[/strike] biweekly newsletter! This week we will be showing an in-depth first look at the facelift of one of our classic maps, “Dealership”. Developers and artists have been working very hard towards this update and are excited to showcase exciting changes and additions! This is only one of the planned refreshes of classic Ready or Not maps coming down the pipeline to utilize advances in our team's capabilities better, as well as our improved lighting systems. All of the techniques we have learned will be applied to our legacy levels in the coming updates. [b]A New Classic[/b] A noticeable upgrade that should come as a welcome addition to veteran players is the refurbished internal layout of the dealership to make it less confusing as a whole and flow much better. The improved layout allows the expansions to blend much better with the more familiar architecture, such as the new street access that goes around the dealership and some of the surrounding buildings.

The decay running through the city will be much more visible, and the crimes of the Traffickers will be much more evident.

[/i] We hope that with the refresh of one of our classic maps that our players will be more excited for both what is coming and what sort of improvements that we will be implementing going forward.
