Had to take a break for personal life reasons. Now back into it!

I'd really like to launch this update this month. For that to happen, we'll need a lot of testing!

I'm already planning one more testing branch update this week, to do some small fixes I'm seeing in the Discord deathroad-test-branch channel. As always, the more feedback we get, the sooner I can launch this.


TO ACCESS THE TESTING BRANCH:

1. Right Click "Death Road to Canada" in your Steam Library
   
2. Go to Properties
   
3. Click on the Betas tab on the left of the Properties window
   
4. Click on the dropdown in the top right, and change the Beta Participation branch from "None" to "beta - TESTBRANCH"

If you want to communicate with us directly or want every bit of testing branch news, head to the Official Discord ( #deathroad-test-branch channel ) or post here!
