Vikings, it’s time to test something special!

Patch 0.5.7 is now live on the Experimental Branch!

This update brings new weapons, gameplay improvements, and a huge new feature: Twitch Integration!

Want your chat to shape your run? Then this one’s for you.
(Full patch notes below)

1. Opt into the Experimental Branch (more info on this below).
   
2. Select the "Twitch" option in the settings.
   
3. Log into your Twitch account to connect it to your game.
   
4. Hit play, start the stream and you're ready to go!

When entering a new node, a Twitch poll will begin.
Viewers vote on 2 weapons; winning weapon drops for the player.

Viewers vote on an enemy OR a new run modifier.
-> If an Enemy wins the poll, the winning enemy will spawn on Floor 3 in one of three forms (1x Legendary enemy, 6x Elite enemies, or 20x Normal enemies).
-> If a Modifier wins the poll, the winning modifier is enabled for the rest of the node.

Chance per enemy type
-> Normal: 1 in 300
-> Elite: 1 in 40
-> Legendary: 1 in 2

Viewers who are subbed to your channel have stronger stats and drop 2 chests when defeated (non-subs drop 1).
Finally, whenever a viewer is defeated in game there is a small in game notification as well as a chat announcement.

We’re eager to hear your feedback on this update! Join us on Discord[discord.gg] or over in the Steam forums and tell us what you think and to share your ODINFALL streams!

Thank you once again to everyone who jumped into the Experimental Branch over on the Discord [discord.com]and provided feedback - your input is invaluable to us! <3

Greetings, survivors!

We’re excited to introduce a new way for you to get an early look at upcoming changes - our Experimental Branch! This system will allow us to test new updates with the community before rolling them into the main game, helping us fine-tune balance, fix potential issues, and make ODINFALL the best it can be.

Once a week, we’ll launch an ODINFALL patch into the Experimental Branch. Based on how it performs, we’ll then incorporate it into the main branch later that week.

1. Open the game and go to Settings
   
2. Navigate to Extra and select Experimental Branch
   
3. You’ll receive a pop-up asking you to confirm your choice
   
4. Restart your game and allow any updates to install
   
5. Relaunch, and you’re in!

Keep in mind that the Experimental Branch uses a separate save from the main game to prevent incompatibility issues. If you ever want to switch back, just return to the main branch - your original save will still be there waiting for you!

We’d love to hear your feedback on changes in the Experimental Branch, so be sure to share your thoughts with us on Discord[discord.com] or the Steam forums!
