This post details a new release from the unstable "preview" branch of Panoptic, which contains work-in-progress features. If you wish to experience these builds, see the instructions at the end of this post.
Hey all!
We just pushed a new update to the "preview" branch, which includes the first version of a brand new map! (along with other fixes)
Here is what you will find:
New Content
- A 4th map! While it is not completely done yet, it is playable, and we cannot wait to see what you think of it. It is in a very different style compared to the existing ones, and should be a shorter, more intense experience! You will find it in the level select, with a mention reminding you that the level is not quite finished. :)
- The Watchers have been tweaked a little bit, and now look at the head of Beings rather than their feet.
Bugs Fixed
- Watchers can no longer be pushed around by other Beings.
We look forward to hearing from you about the new level!
Until next time, have fun playing!
-Team Panoptes
HOW TO GET THE PREVIEW BUILDS:
Warning : the preview builds contain some features that are deemed not ready for wider release yet, and are intended to gather feedback on new additions and validate bugfixes. Some things may not work as intended, so try at your own risk.
- In your steam library, right-click on the entry for Panoptic.
- Select "Properties".
- In the window that opens, open the "BETAS" tab.
- In the dropdown, select "preview".
- Let the game update, and that's it!
Follow the same steps, but select "default - Opt out of all betas" at the end if you want to revert to the stable builds.
