7/19 Testing Branch (Windows)

The start of NEW MUSIC!!!!! So this will be a bigger download than normal,
20+ mb (usual update download: about 400 kb).

Tomorrow: Back to locations for a bit. Then moving to characters, weapons, events, and hopefully the rare trading camp idea. If I have time I'll do achievements and more unlockables, too.

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.

CHANGES

Music

- 6 new songs! This increases the soundtrack length by about 60% or so.
