Steps to try out the beta branch of the game:

• In your game library right click on "Rogue Empire -> Properties"

• In properties select the "Betas" tab

• On the drop down select the version: beta - Beta testing for next release

This branch has logs enabled to be more verbose so that I get more info from you guys when you sent them to me (this might make it a little more annoying if you get an error).

New Features

• Added final dungeon and +20 levels to the Dawn of Shadows (main) campaign.

• Added the final boss encounter to the Dawn of Shadows (main) campaign.

• Added multiple endings to the Dawn of Shadows (main) campaign. Endings depend on choice and shadow coverage of Ethistos.

• Updated the game's font to be mono spaced.

• Improved the grass and ruins theme tile set.

• The Green blob enemy is now... more unique.

• The Blue blob enemy is also... more unique.

• Added potions of unfreeze and quelch fire. "Warning: only use when intended ;)"

• Critical hits now have a specific special effect to them.

 

Balance Changes

• Because of their high hp pool bosses got their hp regeneration reduced to 1/3.

• Hunters now start with the "create ammo I" skill.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed several typos.

• Fixed a bug where some holes would crash the game by making the character fall off the screen on the next level.

• Added some improvement to memory allocation within each rendering frame in hopes to help with the memory issue some are having.

Other

• Level up screen now shows the amount of current stats you have for easy comparison.

• Level up gold focus option now shows the exact amount you will be getting (which is rolled when you level up.

Ruins Tile Set preview:

Note: Changes to the map where made and I am not 100% sure on backwards compatibility regarding the new locations and main quest progress.

I hope you enjoy this update to the beta build!

Cheers and happy crawling!
