v0.18c

Hey Everyone,

 

Here's another small patch release for v0.18 - focusing on fixing some of the multiplayer bugs - invisible bodies when carried, log sled issues, along with some other small fixes and a few bits of new art (new modern axe, plane wings and new sinkhole model!)

We've also done a big pass on enemy pacing based on feedback received throughout this last week!

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub
