Bleeding Edge April 17 2020 UPDATED!
NEW "Bleeding Edge" Beta channel!!
FINALLY! We're dusting off the cobwebs around here and giving the biggest damn collective middle finger we can give to all of the crap that slowed us down and tried to kill us for the last year or so. NOT TODAY SATAN!
You may have already heard about the $1 Patreon campaign we launched a few weeks back with the intent of cranking out regular build updates for our ass-kicking Steam community again. We pulled the trigger, launched the Patreon, and then the strangest thing happened...we started cranking out regular updates again!
The various Pro Wrestling X Beta channels here on Steam got a little convoluted and unorganized so instead of deleting or updating any of the existing channels directly (you never know who might have become attached to any particular one) I've created a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW Beta channel and uploaded a brand new bleeding edge internal developer update to it.
BUILD NOTES
If you know how to access the beta channel menu by right-clicking on Pro Wrestling X in your Steam library, you'll find a spot to enter a password. Enter "justforsteamsupporters" here and you'll be granted access to a new Beta channel named "latest-bleeding-edge". This new channel is not to be confused with the old "bleeding-edge-build" which is...confusing, I know right!?!
Once you're subscribed to this new Beta channel a brand new bleeding edge private developer build will begin downloading for you. Stay subscribed to this new channel, and you'll automatically get all of the new bleeding edge updates after our $1 Patreon supporters get a sneak peek at it for a few days. The builds in this channel will show you EXACTLY what we're working on at any given moment. For example, this new beta build is all about increasing frame rate performance and bringing all of the lighting, animation, etc. up to date. It contains just two wrestlers at this time for testing as well as the very beginnings of some new features such as pulling weapons from the crowd, selectable venues from the pause menu, and other little goodies.
PLEASE feel free to leave your feedback here and let us know how it performs for you in general. There will be bugs and glitches at this point, but once we can confirm the core gameplay is running strong we can begin adding in all of the match types, CAW, roster, etc. from the old Unity 4 build that remains our main public build here on Steam.
Here's a quick YouTube video that runs down the various new and (hopefully) improved stuff to keep an eye out for in this build.

THANK YOU for your kind and patient support on Steam! Our humble little Patreon campaign has already helped us pump out more new builds in the last few weeks than we were able to release in the last few YEARS before that. We already have ANOTHER bleeding edge build ready to upload here (NEW WRESTLERS BABY!) for you which we'll do after you've had a few days to really beat the shit out of this one and let us know what you think.
Keep your eyes peeled my friends. Next update is already prepped :)
THANKS AGAIN!

A few notes about recent Patreon perks, Steam builds, etc:
I know some people were a bit confused about the new Patreon campaign we launched and some thought that anyone HAD to pay $1 to get build updates. OH HELL NO! Patreon supporters just get to play these bleeding edge updates a few days early. After Patrons kick the builds around for a few days/weeks they will be posted here on Steam for EVERYONE :)
Turns out I sometimes communicate with y'all even worse than I trim my ear hair. Steam customers get the bleeding edge updates, too. Patrons just get them a few days early in exchange for tossing our crew a dollar towards continued development. It's working well so far! Thanks to Patreon $1 supporters we've delivered bleeding edge builds to them TWICE already since launching the campaign just a couple of weeks ago. Development is speeding along comfortably again and EVERYONE wins!
Also, I think I failed to mention that $1 Patreon supporters get an early peek at these builds, oh it's true, but they do not get the main public build that you all purchased here on Steam. Patreon is really meant for those supporters who were asking to contribute a little more to the crew to help speed up development again. So far so good. It's working!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
