Hey everyone, Update 24, now officially called the What's the Damage? update, has moved into beta. There's only a few changes from the alpha so I'll keep this short and sweet and all the changes are listed below so no need to go check out the patchnotes :) One thing you should do is to check out Derelict Distillery, we've made some decent changes to the room design so it has a different feel to it now - let us know what you think. Also, we've discovered that moving the multiple item binding to Custom Mode and keeping it isolated there is much trickier than we thought it would be. So, unfortunately it won't be available in Normal or Custom Mode when this update is officially released. Sorry, I know that's going to be annoying for some of you and if you desperately want to use key binding then there are 3rd party programs out there that can let you set it up manually, but for the moment it won't be an option in-game.
