Public Beta Branch - Dream Update

[Netheos]

Hi everyone,

In order to prepare the release of our next major update, introducing a new difficulty mode, the Dream mode, as well as a bunch of new features and many fixes and improvements, we're releasing a public Beta branch.

This will give you access to an early version of the update for which we'd love to get your feedback.

Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress. You will encounter bug and technical issues, and that's also why we're looking for your reports.

How to access the Beta

• Right click on the game in your library.
  
• Go in properties, go in the « Betas » tab and type « OthercideSeptemberTest » then verify the code.
  
• It should unlock the branch « public_test_post_release » that can now be picked in the dropping menu.
  
• Close the properties, download the update and play.

Please back up your saves

Before switching to the Beta branch, please copy all save slots folders ("_save_0" / "_save_1" / "_save_2") from this folder:

\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Othercide\_saves_\*usedSteamID

And keep them on your computer, to prevent any save corruption or save incompatibility issues

Where do I give my feedback?

For anyone wondering, it's a 1.67gb update for the beta.

Just bought the game and this sounds great, wasn't a fan of absolutely having no way of healing my units without having to grow a brand new one to same or higher level to just sacrifice it.

Sounds like something to look forward to!
Hopefully you will be able to include The Mother as a playable unit in some form.

Excellent! How long do you expect this to remain in the beta branch, before you release it as final?

Ironic that I 100% the game the day before the announcement happened, but hey, this will be fun for replay value later in the year!

awesome guys. Good idea for sure. I love the game, but its too hard and I never put the time in to truly learn everything. I know I spent alot of time trying to figure out healing too, and ended up doing the sacrifice some times, but hurt overall wanting to use any of the interrupts. I wish this was released for holiday weekend now, I guess I'll just sign up for beta now, same thing :)

Sounds like some real good ideas for us not so good / hard core players to make the game fun!!!
