Beta 14.9.8 Test - More Quests + New Music
Today's test build has a bunch of the new quests added to the game. Note, not everything is hooked up yet so you can't progress all the way through but the Prologue is done as are most of the quests leading up to the quest rewards. This update also has a bunch of new music in it! More info on that to come in the future.
So, if you get the test client you can check out the Prologue and all of the new music!
Also updated the new outfit to work with a new hueing system. I'll be rolling this out to the current outfit too. Should have a nice impact on memory use.
Lots of stuff in the works too that I hope to be able to share soon!
If you would like to check out the content, you can get it by doing the following:
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 - NewMineTest1 - 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 14.9.8" in the title screen.
VERY IMPORTANT - do not load an existing save with the test client and any saves you make with the test client will not work with the live client. Also, all of the new quest text isn't localized yet and as mentioned above, some of the quests still need some additional work to progress nicely.
To get back to the main 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. Choose “None” from the drop down
5. Steam should then revert back to the main client
