Hello everyone! I hope you've all been staying safe.
As it'll likely be a little while before I do more serious content updates, I wanted to try to get the game's balance in a better place for those that are playing online on a regular basis.
After reading a lot of feedback on the Discord, I thought that the best move going forward would be to temporarily open a beta branch so we can try a lot of different changes to characters.
Since I don't want to split the playerbase between the "proper" game and a rapidly changing beta for too long, my goal is to only have the beta open for a few weeks at most. Hopefully I can make some progress towards having a well balanced game in that time.
To access the beta branch:
- Right click the game in your Steam library
- Click "Properties"
- Go to the 'Betas' tab
- Select 'Beta' from the drop down menu
Again, while the beta is running, many of the game's regulars might be on the beta branch, and thus their lobbies won't be visible on the main branch. If you're having trouble finding a match online, the place to look for opponents is in the Discord!

Also, since the Beta branch will likely be in constant flux, I won't post the patch notes here (as they'll likely just be out of date all the time). I'll keep accurate patch notes in the Discord, and post the finalized patch notes once all the changes are done.
Hope to see you online!
