npm

Make sure you have all the most recent updates to the repo! (Ideally they're pushed to git. Then do git checkout master, git fetch, git pull.)
client/visualizer/src/config -- find ``gameVersion`, and update that.
gradle.properties -- update release_version.
Make sure these updates are pushed to master!

push to master btw!

./gradlew publish
Now set version.txt in gcloud (also set cache policy to no-store)
