9/25 Quick Fix
v0.76 bumps the online version, allows jersey number 0, and adds shuffle teams. The quick fix after it leaves the version alone, shows lobby codes, and points key binds plus screen shake at the profile tab.
(0.77.1)
v0.77 is the last playtest update: a leave-lobby button, host-only private codes, school gym back in the map pool, and Quickplay preferring humans. The follow-up rolls matchmaking back because Quickplay matches were not starting.
