Odinfall News

Greetings, survivors!

We’re excited to introduce a new way for you to get an early look at upcoming changes - our Experimental Branch! This system will allow us to test new updates with the community before rolling them into the main game, helping us fine-tune balance, fix potential issues, and make ODINFALL the best it can be.

[h2]How the Experimental Branch Works[/h2]
Once a week, we’ll launch an ODINFALL patch into the Experimental Branch. Based on how it performs, we’ll then incorporate it into the main branch later that week.

[h2]How to Access the Experimental Branch[/h2]

1. Open the game and go to Settings
   
2. Navigate to Extra and select Experimental Branch
   
3. You’ll receive a pop-up asking you to confirm your choice
   
4. Restart your game and allow any updates to install
   
5. Relaunch, and you’re in!
   

Keep in mind that the Experimental Branch uses a separate save from the main game to prevent incompatibility issues. If you ever want to switch back, just return to the main branch - your original save will still be there waiting for you!

We’d love to hear your feedback on changes in the Experimental Branch, so be sure to share your thoughts with us on Discord or the Steam forums!
