We have spent a year in alpha/beta with many positive and constructive players, and I would like to thank them very much for their intelligence and patience. We are now more than ever in a situation to support the game, and them, since we had things to really handle before launching it.
It's only the 1.0 version of our first FPS ever, but I am already really proud of the Nadeo and Nadeo Live teams behind it. It is really a big start for us, and our intentions is to introduce ShootMania as a major title in FPS, especially towards UGC, eSport and fun!
And here is the changelog:

There are still a lot of things to do for after the launch, like real time buddy addition, shortcuts in the system, UI in replays etc. I should apologize for the memory leaks question on servers. We are doing as best as we can according the density of topics and priorities of the launch. Like I said, we intend to make additional updates in the future.
Let's this new story begin!
