Months of updates!

There is no special occasion for this update, other than that we've had a ton of fixes piling up and I really wanted to get them out there... so we did it! Windows, Mac, and Linux all have these fixes & should be as identical as they can be.

Rules bug!! Pillbug was able to use its special ability right after being moved. (thanks for reporting this, andypie!)
The build is about 100megs smaller on your hard-drive. This is mostly due to changes in the compression by cutting out the Monogame content pipeline.
The buttons for the second-player in a Lobby had regressed to not be mouse-clickable anymore (hotkeys still worked). Thanks dani_as0 and bentley_maniac for the reports.
Fixed regression that was causing log-spam of loading SDF fonts.
Fixed the occasional crash on Mac/Linux that occurred especially when entering the Online Game Menu screen very quickly after starting the program.
Fixed the case where you Leave a game during LoadingFromServer, then started another game (eg: local, or just a NEW online game) and the game thought it was still loading from server... forever.
Fixed game-reconnections (if it says "Loading from game server..." at any point during a game, now it should succeed again. That was broken for a while... we just didn't notice because that only happens in weird cases anyway).
Fixed the use-case where a host starts a game asynchronously with the opponent moving first, then a guest joins and makes a play, then the host would previously freeze in "Loading game from server...". Creating async games and having the opponent move should be fine now.
Game warned "this game is rated" when forfeiting, even if it was not rated.

I fixed some of these bugs recently while coding on https://www.livecoding.tv/seancolombo, so tune in, if you're into that sort of thing :) Thanks everyone, for your continued support of Hive! :D

Officially licensed version of the "Mensa Select" award-winning board game!

Hive is a board game with a difference. There is no board! The pieces are added to the playing area thus creating the board. As more and more pieces are added the game becomes a fight to see who can be the first to capture (surround) the opposing Queen Bee.

Features:

Play locally or online.
Play against the Computer - AI with five difficulty levels.
Includes "hot-seat"/"pass-n-play" mode for players with who want to share one mouse/keyboard or gamepad.
Full 3D with camera-control
Switch seamlessly between playing with mouse/keyboard and gamepad.
Dozens of Steam Stats & Achievements.
Same expansions as table-top version: the Pillbug, the Ladybug, and the Mosquito expansions are available as DLC.
Each expansion can be turned on/off for any individual game. Play with these pieces online even if your opponent does not own the expansions! (they will also get to use the expansions during the game)
Asynchronous play - you can play even when your opponent is offline.
The Hive board game is a winner of many awards including "Mensa Select", "Dr. Toy: Product of Excellence", "Spiele Hits", "International Gamers Awards", and "Juego del año".
