7/18 Testing Branch (Windows)

Some big additions in this testbranch build, and more tomorrow.

Friday I should have a big news post for the ANNIVERSARY OF DEATH ROAD. The actual DUODENUM update will likely be 1 or 2 weeks after that. I was going to do a small update Friday and a bigger one a few weeks after, but I'd rather do one big update.

INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE: The testing branch and the retail version use different save files! Testing Branch saves also get cleared out on occasion.

HOW TO INSTALL: Right click Death Road to Canada on Steam. Go to Properties. Go to Betas. Select Testbranch, no password necessary.
