Hello all!
We've just pushed a little bug fix update live on the alpha branch for those who are willing to test out the horrors we've prepared for you.
What's new?
I'm not telling you here, cos this is the Alpha update. So y'all can wait for a big detailed news when it hits the main branch. However, if my most excellent MS paint comic sans title image wasn't enough for you...
- WE NERFED THE ARBITER! In fact we banished the beast from BC3 entirely, except for his natural cavern-esque habitat.
- We nerfed the elites...
- Aaaaand that's it. I'm done, here are the patch notes!
Man you lazy...
Yeah well, I didn't sleep well last night, so this is what happens. Half assed steam newsing, snoozing, snooooooozing.
Nah, actually this is us getting back on the horse! From now on we'll be MUCH more on the case with updates. We've heard you about the problems with the RotG DLC, some of the things will be fixed in the update 13 Alpha/Beta cycle, some will not (getting the collector into the base game... Not likely to happen... For now...)
Switch bloody Switch....
It's coming. In fact it's almost here. We're through lotcheck, just waiting for a few things to finalise on the DLC setup front before we get it up for everyone, but if there are no more problems, potentially next week or the week after.... Or excuses excuses.
Same goes for PS4 and XB1.
Anywho, stay tuned for more news and acerbic commentary, at least until Jo gets back and reclaims his rightful role as "chief news writing poobah"*.
How do I get in?
To access the ALPHA follow these instructions:
Go to your Steam game library.
Right click on Dead Cells and click "properties".
Select the tab "Betas".
In the first dropdown box select "Alpha - Not for the faint hearted".
Click close and wait for the upload to finish downloading.
Start playing.
WARNING:
In this version of the game you will lose your save every time we push an update, which could be pretty often! This will not impact your old save files. You will be able to import the old ones in to this version, but not export them. This way you can play with everything you've already unlocked, without fear of frying your saves.
If you are still worried about losing you save then feel free to head over here: "steam\userdata\\588650\remote" and copy the files somewhere safe.
There is a special slot only for saves from this version that will appear. It's pretty self explanatory, but feel free to ask questions. :)
All the best,
Steve & the MT team.
