So it has been almost 6 months since the last release of Nebular  
Gauntlet, which is too long. This release features many improvements  
over the last one as seen below. However, I have disabled multiplayer  
in this release as it is basically unworking and is pointless to try  
right now. Hopefully, for the next release I will be able to get it  
working.
