- 1.0.6 Beta Available Now! - 29 June 2023
Hey everyone, Great news! We’re launching 1.0.6 into beta and we’d love for you to come check it out! Below you can read all about what’s in this new update, but before we get into it, we’d like to remind you that these changes are subject to feedback and testing, which means they might not make it into the full 1.0.6 rollout. The primary reason for the beta in the first place is to better understand what doesn’t work, as much as what does. So we’d love your support in figuring out what that looks like :) Please note that opting into beta replicates your current save file so you'll have access to your main branch unlocks. However, progress made during this beta may not carry over when 1.0.6 launches proper, and opting out will revert back to your 1.0.5 save. To opt-in: - right click the game in your Steam Library - select Properties... - select the Betas tab - click the Beta Participati…
