We proudly announce, that finally Konrad the Kitten enters Beta status on 22nd of December. The related content update "V 0.6 - The Beta" will be rolled out next week for everyone.
If you can't wait to see what's new, you can join the public test branch and download the update right now! To opt-in for the test branch, right click the game, choose "properties" and switch to the "betas" tab. There select the "test" branch from the dropdown box. Please be aware that the beta is still in testing stage and there might be some issues left.
For everyone not joining the test branch, the patch will be rolled out end of next week. The final release of the game is planned for the mid of February and will also contain Steam Achievements and some platform specific optimisations (for Vive, Oculus & Windows mixed Reality).
PLEASE BE AWARE: The price of the final version will be higher than the Early Access version. The intention of the lower price point during Early Access was to involve players into the development and thank them for their thrust and feedback by having a lower price. So as long as it is in Early Access, you can get it for the cheaper price.
So whats new with 0.6?
