Yet Another Content Update 0.9.1

Welcome, Survivor!

We're introducing another update to the game in the form of version 0.9.1.

This update focuses mainly on the new function we hope you'll enjoy, which is:

New System: Run History

When starting the game, on the Team Leader selection screen, you can now access the brand new interface, which is the Run History (default: E / Y button).

This new interface will remember up to 100 (25 for Xbox) of your last played runs, displaying detailed statistics on how they've ended. In addition, you'll be able to restart any of them with the same exact settings, meaning same Team Leader, map, mode, badges selection, and difficulty level.

We'll be further expanding this system to allow you to save selected runs as your favorites, which will make it so they won't get deleted as the number of runs grow. If you have any fun ideas on how else we can expand this function, be sure to share your feedback with us!

[Steam] Run summaries in Leaderboards

In addition to video verification, you are now able to also check the statistics of each and every leaderboard score uploaded from now on going forward. This will allow you to check what build and which methods were used to gain the spot on the leaderboards.

While it doesn't show all the things picked along the way (e.g. items that were swapped before the end), it should still offer a glimpse into what's hot (or not) in the current version of the game. Remember, that you can always disable Leaderboard score upload in the in-game options menu.

Please note that runs are not seeded. Therefore, replaying them with the same settings will always result in a similar yet fully random experience. In YAZS no two runs will be the same!
