News: Update #10 Trailer + Experimental Branch
Howdy, folks! It's almost time for Update #10 to drop.
For those of you who want extra early access to the Early Access, we've released an experimental branch of this update for you to try out.
We'd love for you to play the update and fill in a survey to give us your feedback ahead of the official launch next week.
We're most interested in feedback on the new survivor skill trees, the improved food system and the map update, both first impressions and how these changes affect your playthrough over time.
Guide to experimental branches:
Experimental branch saves may not work with older or newer versions of the build, so we recommend a fresh save to keep it separate.
We'll be collecting feedback in an official survey form.
There will very likely be bugs! Keep your survey responses focused on the game experience and use the usual bug reporting methods to report bugs.
There are no formal update notes for experimental branches.
Notes on Update #10 experimental branch:
This branch is only available on Windows and in English.
You can find the Update #10 survey in the main game menu in the experimental branch or at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VKJPZTG
There's a dedicated Discord channel to discuss thoughts: https://discord.com/channels/1062187577341394954/1494528537393369108
There's an issue with Kayla's skill tree that means you won't be able to migrate your save from the experimental branch back to the main update when it releases. If you wanna try experimental, best to leave Kayla out for now. She'll be okay. (Don't tell Hector.)
How to get to the experimental branch:
Open your Steam client
Find Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days in your Library
Right click the game and open 'Properties'
Navigate to ‘Game Versions & Betas’ and select ‘experimental_0.13’
Launch the game
If you need to change back to the default public version of the game, follow the same steps but select ‘Default Public Version’.
If you'd rather wait for the final release, the full update will go live on Tuesday 28 April NZST at around 1:00pm, or:
Monday 27 Apr @ 6:00pm PDT
