Hey hey hey!

I hope you're all well!
We've just released Alpha 5.3 for Cannon Crew. Nice!

What's new?

I'm glad you asked! Apart from little bug fixes and additions there have been a few bigger things added to Cannon Crew!

- AI Commanding

You can now command the Helper AI chaps you've hired from the Tavern. This is still very much a work in progress but I wanted to get some feedback and suggestions from you guys.
With a controller you can use the Triggers and Shoulder buttons for the different commands.
If you're playing Singleplayer and using a keyboard you can use numbers 1-4.

The current commands are:
"I need ammo!" - If the nearest helper is holding a cannon ball they will bring it to you.
"Fire the cannons!" - The nearest helpers will go to their cannon and fire it if it's loaded or load and fire it if they're holding ammo.
"Fill the box!" - The nearest helpers will take ammo from the spawners and place them in the nearest box for you to use.
"Thanks!" - This does nothing but it's always good to say thank you!

These commands will only affect the helpers that YOU are nearest, if another player is standing next to a helper they won't listen to you!

- Win Scene

The end of Chapter 1's scene has been completely re-done. I won't ruin anything so I'll just let you play it, complete it and find out!

- Tutorial Loading Screens

The loading screens at the start of the game now display useful tips and controls! Wow!

I'll be pushing a few updates in the next few days which will just be ironing out little bugs in preparation for the Early Access release on 1st February!

Have a great week!
