Ramping up for a big update! For now this is the framework for upcoming stuff. On Monday, we're doing another testing update that will see if the old perk progression system will transfer over to the new unlock system. In order to test this, we can use a bunch of people playing this testing branch over the next few days. That way, we can see if the stats transfer over correctly in the next build. I'll also do a news post over the weekend about how this update is doing. We had to move some stuff around to the next update, including splitscreen. HOW TO INSTALL: Right click Death Road to Canada on Steam. Go to Properties. Go to Betas. Select Testbranch, no password necessary. Changes: - The testing branch of the game now uses a different save file than the normal branch. This prevents a problem with the last big update, where people that tried out the testbranch couldn't run the live version of the game due to major differences. - Testing branch save files can be reset by the developer. - Testing branch save files will reset every major update (AORTA, BRAINSTEM, etc) automatically. - Placeholder support for the new unlock system remembering your previous stats (kills, training, heals). The idea is that, if you have perks unlocked already in the old system, they'll still be unlocked in the new system. - More support for checks for team stat averages, for future events. - Support for multiple ending lines! Full of placeholder text for the time being. - Support for game mode changing ending lines. - Epilogue lines for each character that's alive in your party. - One line of a character epilogue is generally determined by personality stats, and the other by skills. - Support for exceptions for the above, like traits or rare things giving its own special line. - Discovered we had a mysterious secret stat in the game, CHARM, that was never used. Fixed this because it was causing problems with the new endings.
