Version 0.619 Alpha *Experimental*

Info

■ Our voxel in the game is completely reworked. Every claim will be reset.

■ Activated bugreport system again

This update includes major changes regarding voxels and multiplayer.
As this is still a very early phase, the update will be released on the Beta Branch "Experimental" in Steam.
This way, every player can decide whether they want to test this already or rather wait a little longer until the update is included in the standard.

To switch to the "Experimental" branch, you simply have to right-click on Gold Hunter in your game library, select the menu item "Settings" and log in to "Betas" for "Experimental". You can then download this version directly.
Please note that this will reset every claim.

You can switch back at any time if you change your mind by logging out of "Experimental" under "Betas". This will automatically download the previous version again.
