Greetings Inmates!

We hope you've been busy plotting your escape within the daunting prison walls of Back to the Dawn. Since the release of our public opentest branch back in December, we've been thrilled to see so many of you take an early peek at our latest developments. This opportunity has not only allowed us to gather your invaluable feedback and suggestions but has also helped us fine-tune the experience before rolling it out to the main branch.

Today, we're excited to share that we have implemented some feature optimizations and bug fixes to the opentest branch, making your journey towards freedom smoother and more engaging! After further review and testing, we will then roll out these new updates to the main branch for everyone to enjoy.

Here are the updates:

[h3]Feature Optimizations[/h3]

• Added Steam cloud save functionality for the Opentest branch.
  
• Added the "Item Encyclopedia" feature: A popup button for "Item Encyclopedia" has been added in the "Character - Pocket" area. Players can now check information about items Thomas has carefully observed, such as item details, crafting recipes, store information, and prisoner possession information (prisoner possession information will only be displayed in the Item Encyclopedia after learning the "Criminal Profiler" specialization).
  

[h3]Skill Adjustments[/h3]

• Added specialization "Criminal Profiler": Allows memorization of items on other prisoners and viewing them in the "Item Encyclopedia".
  
• Modified the "Second Strike" specialization: Changed to a triggered skill, players who have learned this specialization will automatically acquire and enable this skill.
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed an issue where there was a probability of encountering display errors with Dudley in other scenes after leaving the tournament VIP lounge.
  
• Fixed an issue where there was a probability of endlessly pulling the cart on the rooftop when using a D-pad.
  
• Fixed an issue where after joining gangs other than Big Foot Gang, the dialogue for watching boxing matches still showed a charge of $40 instead of the actual $50 required.
  
• Fixed an issue where Esports Legend could not be started if the page was not refreshed after enabling the Pro Gamer skill.
  
• Fixed an issue where there was a probability of receiving a Weak Body debuff when crafting items on a workbench outside the cell room and your pocket capacity is exceeded.
  
• Fixed an issue where there was a probability of incorrect display of prisoners in Block B corridor during the Hanged Man event.

[h3]Opentest Branch Guidelines[/h3]

1. Please note that the opentest branch is meant for early experimental testing, and the content might be adjusted along the way. Because of this, you might experience some bugs as well. But if you do, please let us know through our bug report form! Or if you have more feedback and suggestions for us, do let us know through the Steam Community discussions.
   
   
2. We'll do our best to ensure save file compatibility between the opentest and the standard branch. However, just in case, we recommend backing up your save files before switching to the opentest branch. You can find your save files here: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\LocalLow\MetalHeadGames\Back To The Dawn (Replace XXX with your user folder name).
   
   
3. If you choose to stay in the default branch, that's okay too! We will eventually push the latest and the most stable version to the main game after a thorough quality assurance check.
   

Once again, we appreciate everyone's support and love! If you enjoy the game or have any feedback or suggestions, please take some time to leave your comments on Steam or fill up our suggestion form here. Your feedback is crucial as we strive to make your escape experience as thrilling and rewarding as possible.

We hope you enjoy these new updates and continue to join us in this thrilling journey of strategy and survival. Be sure to follow us on our social media if you haven’t too. Stay tuned for more updates, and have fun strategizing your next prison break!
