Hello! The test build is now online, hope you are as excited as the dancers above. ;) This is the first test build of many before we release the Relaunch. Below you can read what you need to know; what the build contains, how to get it and what to keep in mind.
Above all please remember that this is not the definitive version of the relaunch, it's buggy, unfinished and unpolished, we're releasing it in the wild early to get great feedback from you.
What the Build Contains
Tech tree
- Complete tasks to earn tech points.
- Spend tech points to unlock insights, words and monuments.
Monument festivals
- During a monument festival, the owning city gains one or more strong bonuses.
Doctrine traits
- Replaces old doctrine system.
- Cities now have traits, one for each need.
- Traits affects their likes and gives "perks" (can be negative)
Word Associations
- Slowly over time, followers associate words with other words.
- No associations are present at the start of a new game.
Dead followers as advisors
- Dead followers appear in the underworld as advisors.
- They speak of how they died and sometimes what could have prevented it.
How to Get It
Right click on the game in your library and select properties.
Go to BETAS in the tab.
From the drop down menu select "public_testing".
The game will overwrite your current build (if you have it installed), wait for it to update and then you're ready to go!
What to Keep in Mind
- We will release more builds before relaunch, we haven't decided when next happens.
- The game could break or crash, more often than before.
- If you have a save from the main official build on Steam and change it to the test build your save file will be deleted and/or overwritten if you press "New Game" in the test build branch. If you switch back to the official build again the same happens as well, but for the test build.
- Saves doesn't work in the test build right now (one of the reasons it's not on the official branch).
- Saves will break during development of the test build, the main branch will be left untouched until release of the Relaunch.
- Saves are disabled in this public test build, we may or may not enable in future test builds.
- Features are missing.
- It's unpolished, unfinished and buggy.
- Art, GUI, animations and VFX are missing in parts, for example the association system is still missing most of their illustrations.
Please Leave Feedback
The more feedback we get the better, we have opened a secret group on our Discord called "#divine-testing" which anyone can join if you ask Martin, please remember that we won't be online during the weekend. If you prefer to leave feedback on the Steam forum or somewhere else on social media please do so, but please be specific that you're talking about the relaunch test build and not the main game so as not to confuse others in the community. :)
