So, after an exceedingly entertaining weekend and a tense release period in which several things we’d rather not mention collided with air-redistribution devices, it’s time for the first update to the beta. Which should have happened utterly seamlessly – all you need to do is keep playing Desktop Dungeons and next time you access game page you’ll get a new build.
Huge thanks to all our beta players who not only put up with our email system going utterly berserk last night, but have also tirelessly sacrificed their (and their employers’) productive hours to help us find bugs. You should see the forums, they’re amazing.
Highlights from our change-log include such gems as making the Glowing Guardian slightly less game-breaking, nuking a few crash bugs to do with desecrating altars and all sorts of general tweaks, grammar changes and balance decisions. Read on for an exhaustive list…
