I’ve released an update for Cascade that includes an initial art-pass and several layout tweaks. Although the map is no longer dev textured, it is still very much a work in progress; gameplay, performance, visuals, etc, are not final. As always any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Four years after its initial release I am proud to announce that Cascade has been updated to version RC2. This update addresses several issues identified in playtesting and feedback, in addition to continued refinement of visuals and performance. While this may not be the final update to Cascade, it will most likely be the last time the map receives major layout changes. I’d like to thank everyone who has played the map and offered feedback over the years; none of this would be possible without your engagement and support.
