Had some setbacks with our developer version testing, getting back into public testing branches now. Check out the new weapon locking by hitting Z or X on a weapon twice in SWAP MEET, this should let you order followers to use and keep whatever weapon you specify. Below are patch notes of what we've added to testing branch so far, more content and other additions are coming. 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.

LIST OF CHANGES

- Weapon locking, select a weapon twice to lock it. AI followers will use whatever weapon is locked, and they won't drop it. Hopefully - Updated weapon locking so that if you lock an empty slot, they should treat it like it's a weapon and not replace it. This was added for characters with good unarmed skills or if you want a dog to not pick up anything - Mysterious dog buffs - Temporary STREET PUNCHER buddy testing added at start. It will pick one of the two new special rare characters - Temporary weapon testing added to start, as the weapons aren't placed in-game yet - New special characters: BRYU and SAGUTS, with some special behaviors for their unarmed abilities - AI followers should now get out the same side of the car as the player - Fix for a UI exploit that let you skip events - Tweaks to some collision things - Fairy Bat added - Fixed a particle effects issue when smashing trees and bushes - More particle fixes - Character strength added to bow draw speed - Fixed a bug with swapping a knocked bow with another - Dirtier Yallmart floors, as a test to maybe make the world more filthy - Reduced items spawning behind immovable objects - This silverware is h-h-haunted or somethin - New weapons added (but not placed in world yet): Dinnerware, rake, hoe, saw, blacksmith hammer, napalm launcher, land mines, bazooka, electric leaf blower and weed whacker, grenade launcher - Changes to weapondef code - Charge-based ranged weapons now use reload for shot time and cooldown for melee, like regular guns - New code to make it so the game doesn't confuse Mechamountie for Mason - Code optimizations - Buffer overflow fix - Many behind the scenes tweaks and memory leak fixes
