• sometimes interaction gets blocked after picking up a board

• Animations: better hand animations in FPP mode, snapping to levers etc (still in testing)
• We are also experimenting with switching the game to Universal Rendering Pipeline (URP) which may allow us to provide better graphics quality and optimized performance with modern realtime lighting and shading. We are not sure how long it will take, but initial builds were promising.
• We also have a small team dedicated to implementing the Online Co-Op mode. It's still a long way to go, but daily progress is being made in this regard. Once we have something playable, we will likely launch a beta branch with limited access.
• We are also working on more content updates according to our Roadmap
