Heya guys, Today we are releasing a new beta of the update we've been working on for the past few months for all three platforms (Mac, Linux, and Windows). This new update concentrates pretty much on two things exclusively: bugfixes (and lots of them), and porting Barony from C to C++. Which means as of this update, Barony is now officially a C++ project. :) Keep in mind to activate this release, you will need to right click on Barony in your steam library, select "Properties", go to the "BETAS" tab, and in the drop down list, choose the "beta" option. No password is needed to activate this branch. Just hit okay and after an update, you'll be good to go. So without any further ado, let's cut to the chase and list all the changes in this release:

internal port of lots and lots of C to C++
fixed occasional crash on player death
fixed occasional random crash in collision code
fixed occasional crash when trading with shopkeeper
fixed lots of other random crashes
boulders now fall through water and lava
fixed shields getting double bonus or negative from beatitude
fixed traps spawning in doors
fixed clients not being able to walk through certain allies
fixed stack overflow caused by monsters accidentally being set as an ally to all other monsters
fixed demon heads going through ceilings (they now break them like minotaurs)
fixed minotaurs not breaking gates, only gate frames
fixed spears actually doing worse than other weapon types
fixed amulet of life saving not extinguishing burning characters
fixed ladders being placed behind iron gates
cure ailment now extinguishes burning players
fixed shopkeepers not losing their grudge after a new game is started
fixed creature followers getting in fights with shopkeepers and other humans
added ability to bind mouse buttons
added future ability to bind joystick buttons :)
attack and use inputs now configurable
fixed game speed slowing down when fps<30 (now only happens if fps<10 to prevent racing)
fixed possible crashes when playing the game with incompatible highscore and save files
multithreaded steamworks packet handling
added /segfault console command, which induces a segfault. :)
Linux only: game now releases mouse and dumps stack on segfault

Other things you may need to note with this release: you may have to bind the Attack and Use commands in your settings menu to use the mouse buttons when you start playing, or you will find you cannot pick up or use anything! Keep that in mind before you send us any angry messages about the game being broken or some such. I'm hungry so it's time for me to build a sandwich. Hope y'all enjoy the update -- we have big plans for the future. Also, keep an eye out for an open source release of the game code (not the assets) in the next few days. Sheridan

The Story So Far

Barony tells the story of an undead lich named Baron Herx, who terrorized the town of Hamlet in a previous life and is now holding out in a vast subterranean complex known as the Devil's Bastion. As a single hero or a group of adventurers, it is your mission to descend the depths of his abode, confront him in his hellish lair, and destroy him forever. Whether you will simply meet your doom in the dungeons as many have before you or rise to victory against the Baron and his hellspawn is ultimately up to you.
