Patch 1.07.9 Now Available on Steam
1.07.9 is finally out. It introduces a new weapon, a new survival map, a new objective map, and a few dozen fixes. Also, you can now quickly find servers you can start playing right away in. Click "Add common tags..." on the bottom right of the server browser and select "Spawning:Active" to only list servers where there are at least 25 seconds left for spawning.
Future Plans
We haven't talked much about the future plans of NMRiH, so let's do that real quick, shall we? Our top priority right now is useability. We realize that people are frustrated with too much downtime during death and waiting for new rounds to begin. In 1.07.9 we introduced the very first step (a small one albeit) in making the game easier to play, thus more fun. The common tags mentioned above. This is just a small thing and we have bigger changes planned, primarily to Objective mode. We have listened to the feedback over this, but if you'd like to further discuss it head over to our Forum or just post your concerns and suggestions in the comments below!
As for second priorities, new content is always being created. We have a couple new features that are close to done, but we don't want to make any promises or tease anything until we have them actually in the game and ready.
As always, thanks for playing!

Extra Extra Note: Steam will automatically install this update, FYI.
One commonly overlooked option to alleviate the waiting between rounds would be to add a minigame like blockbuster or solitaire or some such that spectators can play while they wait. Also, being able to bet on individual players was great fun in 1.6 & CZ.
Exactly what I was thinking. Some maps in GMOD's TTT have a little minigame space away from the map.
When you're waiting to respawn you should totally be able to play as a health crate just to you can keep spamming your lid open and shut like a mouth while going "huehuehuehuehuehuehueh" to yourself like some kind of weirdo.
*just so you can keep spamming
I rather like the idea of "betting" on who'll die next. Poker would be great, but I'd settle for "Uno" or "Black Jack."
