It's recommended to back up your saves when playing on experimental version. Especially when loading a save using a newer version. You can do so in game on the load menu.

This week I've focused a lot on stuff behind the scenes that are going to help in the long run. That being said, there are still a few new additions and changes:
With the new Void summoner set, the class is pretty much complete with gear throughout the progression.
Dynamite is basically just a more powerful bomb, and there are a few more particles when you throw them.
It's now possible to invite and accept Steam invites from within the game. You no longer need to use the Steam overlay at all.
The Pirate Captain is now much harder to cheese since he will regenerate health very quickly when he can't find a path to his target.
Some polish and fine-tuning in various places, like a training dummy animation, rain particles, new sound system, boss health scaling, lava damage and more.
See a full changelog below.
