I was planning to release DB011 today, but the QA results were not great and the build seems to have few game breaking bugs, so I am delaying it for next week. I am attaching the release notes for the curious.
Most notable change is the new staff training, and how research, training and everything else work together now. The new history panel should allow players to diagnose why your tavern is failing as well. Also, the inst-game over is a thing of a past.
By next week Thursday (The usual patch release date), levels 1~6 should be very fun to play :D
I want to finish re-balancing the game by the month's end and push a stable version to the Main Build. DB012 will be about further improving the game's quality of life features, main menu overhaul and sound FX overhaul.
Also, please note that 32 bit support will end soon.
