Halloween Beta Update
Hello shipwrights,
We've just pushed a Halloween update onto the live beta branch, so if you feel like doing some testing for us today we'd be very grateful. We're hoping to get this update released publicly tomorrow morning UK time.
Things to look out for are:
- A new event called The Skull Lagoon.
- New Halloween themed sails.
- Bracing, both iron and rope.
- A ballast tank with variable buoyancy that can be controlled whilst sailing.
- Steam Achievements - the icons won't be live on steam until tomorrow.
- Lots of fixes, polish and improvements.
REMEMBER THIS IS BETA ONLY
This has been pushed to a separate branch where you have to manually opt-in to download it. (instructions below) ONLY opt-in if you don’t mind playing a bugged version. We’ve checked it all ourselves but there WILL be bugs, we’re doing this so that we can find them and squish them before rolling it out into the main branch for all players.
We NEED bugs and feedback please, if you spot something, write it down and add it to the bugs forum on steam – MAKE SURE YOU SAY BETA VERSION in the heading so people know it’s not the live version. Bugs are placed here
Beta opt-in instructions
Here's what you need to do:
1. Shut down Steam (IMPORTANT!)
2. Re-start Steam.
3. Go to your Steam Library.
4. Right-click on The Last Leviathan game in your Steam Library and select the Properties option.
5. Click on the Betas tab
6. In the "Enter beta access code..." field, type in the Public Beta password: PenguinTorpedo
7. Click on the Check Code button. Steam should then tell you that you have unlocked the public_beta branch.
8. In the "Select the beta..." drop down, select the public_beta branch.
9. Click the Close button.
Steam will then begin downloading the app in the background. Once it's finished, you should be good to go.
Important Notes
1. Steam Workshop. PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD anything to Steam workshop - any new blocks you upload will NOT be available for existing users and will, most likely, crash their game.
2. Sometimes downloads are not automatic and you may need to select the “verify integrity of game cache” option from the ‘local files’ tab in the properties menu.
Thanks for your assistance guys, public update tomorrow!
Cheers
SPG
