Some Beta backers have expressed interest in getting more frequent updates to the Beta Build, so we created a new Beta branch on Steam where we'll be updating the build fairly regularly with new content. The build will be a little less stable than the regular one, but generally contain the latest and greatest changes.

To opt into it:

Here's the changelog for the build:

• Updated to newest version of Unity. Probably shouldn't make any big difference to the end user, but there should be some bug fixes.
• Changed save format from binary to XML, as it will be easier to maintain backward compatibility. This broke the current save files though (sorry!).
• Fixed many small issues with save/load UI.
• Adding rotating autosaves so you can't mess up your save file if there's a string of contiguous battles (which there isn't right now).
• Many AI tweaks, including:
  • Knights not defending as much.
  • Last enemy not being overly defensive.
  • Enemies more frequently using defend/heals/traps at the end of their turn if they couldn't do something during the turn.
  • New optional guardian AI for Knights to try and protect allies.
  • Bug fixes.
• Many new tunable values in the GameOptions.txt file, especially pertaining to AI.
• Adding all weapons sprites. Different weapon tiers will now have different sprites.
• Adding idle animations: all humans and most monsters will have an idle animation (rather than walking in place). Some monsters still have the old walking in place.
• Fixed a memory leak that could get pretty big over time.
• Updated gamepad plugin. It could fix the crashes some Linux users have been getting when plugging/unplugging a gamepad while the game is running.
• Adding more spells (many are still missing though) and fixing an issue with mirroring of spells that caused their position to be slightly off at times.
• Fixed mouse being innaccurate on the worldmap for any other resolution than 1080.
• Fixed many small bugs.
• Fixed the custom portraits not working anymore.
