Testing branches are coming back, for the upcoming new update! No patch notes yet, this is a test to make sure that nothing breaks. More content and features will be coming on Monday or Tuesday, along with more detailed notes.
The big thing to test now: AI weapon locking. You can now go into the swap menu for teammates and hit a button twice to lock their weapon. This will prevent them from switching away from or dropping that weapon.
There are some exceptions to them not switching their weapon, like if they quickly want to pick something up and switch back. This is also a work in progress, so there may be some things we need to change with feedback.
You can do this to a melee weapon, a gun, or even an empty slot. Locking an AI character's gun is also a quick way to make one person in your team shoot, instead of having the entire team shoot.
Let me know what you think of this new feature in the comments, and what you would like to see changed.
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The testing branch and the retail version use different save files! Testing Branch saves also get cleared out on occasion.
HOW TO INSTALL: Right click Death Road to Canada on Steam. Go to Properties. Go to Betas. Select Testbranch, no password necessary.
Death Road to Canada is a Randomly Generated Road Trip Simulator. You control and manage a car full of jerks as they explore cities, recruit weird people, argue with each other, and face gigantic swarms of slow zombies.
Death Road is built for replay value. Everything is randomized: locations, events, survivor appearances and personalities. There's a different story every time you play, set in a world that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Death Features:
Up to 500 zombies can hunt you down at a time. Fight them, try to squirm past, or run.
Use the character creator to put yourself, friends, and family in the game. Have them show up at random to get eaten!
Find special and rare events, weapons, and characters with strange abilities.
Make tough choices in Interactive Fiction events. Get different options and results based on the traits of your party members.
Teach a dog how to drive a car.
Throw chairs. Get your characters strong enough to throw large sofas.
Most family friendly zombie apocalypse game on the market! Any gore explosion is in a cute style. We censor the word d*ngus once.
