You must opt in to the Public Test Branch to access this build! Beta 0.4.5
The 0.4.X update has been slower to release than planned. This is a large update and lately a lot of life stuff has been going on, including me moving to a new home last month. In the mean time, I've decided to release a public test build of 0.4.5 so that the community can get their hands on some of the new content and features in the upcoming update, as well as help track down some bugs and balance issues. New save files are recommended for this update, but its not mandatory. Its also recommended that you manually back up any save files important to you if you plan on reverting back to previous builds.
