Beta 10 Update - Fixes
This is a quick update to fix some bugs in the Beta 10 build.
I was originally going to release this update to the main branch this weekend, but after giving it more thought there are still some things I want to add it, including:
Pushing the update back a bit also allows my Publisher, Soedesco, to help out with some things as well, which is really cool!
This build specifically has some controller related fixes in it.
I might try to pull some of the fixes from Beta 10 into a small patch for the live branch.
For those of you who are already playing on the test branch, the patch for this update is going to seem a lot bigger than just the above fixes. I rebuilt the asset loader that loads in stuff like trees, buildings, etc. and when I do that, it adds to the build size. I'm hoping to get the bigger town size completed and in the test branch over the weekend.
This build is shaping up to be one of the biggest updates for HammerHelm in a long time! I'm really exciting to share it with all of you.
If you'd like to try out the update, you can get t through the test branch:
Important Note - I highly recommend starting a new save if you want to try out the test build. It will work with existing characters, but if you get any of the new stuff, you won't be able to go back to the regular build.
1. In the Steam Client Library where it lists all of your games, right click on HammerHelm
2. Click Preferences
3. In the window that opens, select the "Betas" Tab
4. Enter the password to download this build - NewDecorTest - and click Check Code
5. You should get a message that the code is correct
6. Click the drop-down box and select BigUpdateTest
Steam should immediately start a new download with the test client. The new game should be called "HammerHelm [bigupdatetest]". Once the download is complete you can launch the game and you should see "Beta 10 (test)" in the title screen.
To get back to the Alpha client:
1. In the Steam Client Library where it lists all of your games, right click on HammerHelm
2. Click Preferences
3. In the window that opens, select the "Betas" Tab
4. Choose “None” from the drop down
5. Steam should then revert back to the Alpha client

I was originally going to release this update to the main branch this weekend, but after giving it more thought there are still some things I want to add it, including:
- A larger town build space
- A lantern for your character (likely a quest to get this)
- Some memory optimization
- Some more fixes
Pushing the update back a bit also allows my Publisher, Soedesco, to help out with some things as well, which is really cool!
This build specifically has some controller related fixes in it.
- Added full 360 directional movement when using the left stick
- The left stick can now be used to interact with the UI in addition to the D-Pad
- Jumping with a controller now has height
- Added the close button to the Settings menu for controllers
