The testing will start with 3 new game modes. We will be adding more over the course of the next two weeks! I will be updating this announcement with changes until we get closer to the update launch, likely somewhere in early or middle August. I will need lots of feedback for pretty much all of these new things! Newer changes at the top. INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: The testing branch and the retail version use different save files! Testing Branch saves also get cleared out on occasion, usually with new updates. HOW TO INSTALL: Right click Death Road to Canada on Steam. Go to Properties. Go to Betas. Select Testbranch, no password necessary.

LIST OF CHANGES

CHANGES 7/29 8:46 PM PST - Branchname changed to HUMERUS - Endless Mode difficulty scaling made slower, previous faster rate was for testing. The difficulty gain stays near the same for the first 50 days, and then slows down to roughly half. Let me know what you think of the new difficulty! - Irritating Trademark Weapon is now a recharging Air Horn - IRRITATION HORN has 20 charges for maximum cooling it - OPP Mode now only lets you recruit 4 people - OPP town no longer lets you back out at last moment if group is full - Genie and Mechamountie now warn you that they're buggy - G*rf, Gordon, Fairy Queen, Panda, George added to OPP town - Mecha Mountie named properly in OPP - News check disabled (unless we have something new to announce for August) - Changed all the nodrops to the correct "1" instead of a weapon name. The old method still worked but was completely unnecessary. CHANGES 7/22 9:10 PM PST - 3 new gameplay modes added! All don't require any unlocking for now, and are labelled as BETA TEST instead of having a win counter. - Endless Mode in. Let me know how far you get! The current difficulty curve is very placeholder. We also need to figure out if rare things should run out if you see all of them, or if they should keep recycling so you can eventually get 4 The Last Bodybuilders. - Over Powered Party Mode added. This lets you start in a special map that lets you recruit any rare character in the game. Let me know if any are missing, or if there are bugs with them. Unless they're from the Experimental Hut, in which case I'm not sure if I will fix those. - Quick Death Mode added. It's Short Trip to Heck, but with the difficulty tripled. - The 3 new modes put into Car Stats - Endless Mode displays days in, instead of days left - Temporary ending stubs for the new modes - Revamped recruit system on recruit-yes and recruit-replace, now most will give "pick more" with a full group and let you cancel the recruit. - Exceptions to above: Familiar Face recruiting, which uses a different system that would have problems with this. Recruiting dogs by feeding them and recruiting rare camp recruits, which have food costs, so the game forces you as to not waste the food. - Jerk recruiting uses the new system, but it probably shouldn't? Not sure. - Changed two recruit1 events to no longer use the old "3 choices or leave behind system", as the new system makes this even more obsolete. - Buffed Ninja-countdown from 4-5 to 6-8 - Added a new-familiar-recruit word for forcing a familiar spawn for later
