Patch 0.5.0.0 is ready for testing on the beta branch "buildtest"!
If you want to join the testing, right-click Draconia in your Steam library and go to "Properties > Betas > Beta Participation" and select "buildtest - public developer build branch".
You can only join the testing server "[US] Draconia - Test Server #1" while you are on the testing branch.
We are primarily looking for feedback on:
- The new character + camera movement (movement has not been reworked entirely, only the character camera which is movement based!)
- The new targeting system (Use "t" to target enemy AI)
- Render distances of level assets e.g., foliage, rocks, etc. (please include your video settings)
- Performance
However, if you notice anything else new in this patch that doesn’t feel right, feel free to mention it here.
