Current state of things

1. Content update

More about that over here in this roadmap update: https://steamcommunity.com/games/941460/partnerevents/edit/523078230806102912 The main elements for the update are in place now, but there's still a bunch of improvements to be made.

2. Beta branch

We have a beta branch where we update the game more frequently. You'll find more info about the beta branch and about testing in general over here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/941460/discussions/0/3427823001996731965/
