Backer Alpha Patch #6 - Assassin & Cannibal
Posted November 10, 2024 by Tundra
Greetings Commander,
Patch #6 is now available for download: Alpha v0.0.6b
This patch introduces two new commanders, the Assassin and the Cannibal. We have also included gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and art updates. On top of that, a new music track has been added to the pool.
Stability-wise, reports of major bugs have been slowing down drastically. The crew stuck bugs have nearly been resolved. We're almost there. We are just as eager to get through these bugs as you are - not least so we can finally dive into the QoL features we’ve had in the works for ages. Shout out to those who have volunteered their time in testing the Preview Builds. It really helps!
