Descenders Next Test Sessions: Update 0.4.9
Hey everyone!
Thank you all so much for all the feedback given while playing the Descenders Next Test Sessions! We've been hard at work addressing a bunch of feedback, and are happy to release the 0.4.9 patch!
If you haven't played yet, where've you been?! You can still grab yourself a key for the Descenders Next Test Sessions by clicking here!
A quick little heads-up, due to many internal changes we'll have to wipe the player data, which means you can start the beta from the beginning again, how awesome is that!
Another heads-up regarding replays. Replays in the off-piste won't work anymore, due to many changes in the procedural generation. Also because we've done some physics changes, there might be other things broken with old replays. Sorry about that!
Anyway, here's the changelog:
