NEWS - Serpent Beta Branch coming next week

Hello Pretenders!

Great news for the hardcore fans of Curse of the Dead Gods (or the curious ones). We have decided to set up a Beta branch where we’ll regularly drop work-in-progress builds about the upcoming content and features of the game.

If you are familiar with Beta branches, that’s good! For the new folks, let us warn you that builds uploaded on beta branches will be buggy, gear & enemies may be overpowered or underpowered, visual effects, 3D models, and animations will not be finished. Globally, the whole thing could be a mess. KA-BOOM 💥

By uploading betas, we are seeking some more feedback on features or content that have not yet been implemented to the main branch for a wider audience. We want to thank you in advance if you decide to join the beta-fun, and we are looking forward to your suggestions and reports about those builds.

So, what are we going to upload for our first beta?

[h2]The Serpent Temple Beta branch[/h2]It’s time. Are you ready to roam in the corridors of the Serpent’s den? 🐍

This first beta build will let you test the first section of the Serpent Temple (Chucwic - exclusive new name released!!!). A first taste of what to expect for the full official release of the Temple. What will the beta include?
- New atmosphere and decors
- New enemy types
- New traps
- The first Champion fight









As we said before, we are expecting a lot of reports of wobbly or unbalanced things, so if you have any comments you can put them in the special categories that have been added to our Steam forums and our Discord server (look for Curse of the Dead Gods Beta Branch thread on Steam and the #beta-branch channel on Discord).

[h2]What about my saves?[/h2]The Beta branch will function with a different save than the one on the main branch. A new local file named “_BetaSaves” will automatically be created when switching to the Beta branch. This means everything you do on the Beta branch won’t be replicated onto your main save.

To use your main save again, you will need to switch back to the main branch by following the same steps below.

[h2]How to access the Beta branch?[/h2]The beta branch will be available next week and you will need to complete a small process to access it.

If you want to help us and participate, right-click on the game’s properties and select the Betas tab. You will be able to opt into the beta branch called “serpent_beta”.



-----------------
Thank you to the few warriors that will try these betas. We are happy to move forward with the game and the new Temples with this new beta system, and we hope you’ll enjoy this little sneak peek of what’s ahead of us. If participating in betas is not your thing, that’s totally fine! You can still join us on social media or talk about the game online, this helps us as well!

Oh, almost forgot! New content for the Cursed Temple update is on its way 👀
