Patchnotes 0.8.0 - Brawl Tournament Preview

[Micha]

Dear Drone Engineers,

We just released an update on the preview branch to test the new Brawl Tournament!
Please play the new Brawl Tournament and upload your drone as opponents, so we have many drones to test the balance.

This update also adds German localization. If you speak German, please switch the language and report any grammatical or UI layout errors you find

 

Here is how you can get the preview build on steam:

– Open your Steam library
– Right click on Nimbatus in the Steam library
– Select Properties / Beta
– Select the Beta tab
– Enter imadeabackup as password to unlock the preview branch
– Select brawl_preview from the drop down
– Restart steam in case the game does not update automatically or you can't see the preview branch

Keep in mind that this preview build is still a work in progress, therefore I strongly recommend to back up your savefiles before downloading the preview branch. Here is where you can find the savefiles and logfiles: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/651-please-read-this-before-posting/

Additional note: We're still working on improving the sounds for the travel events. Some are currently way too loud and the looping/timing is still rough. So please use this preview update mostly for testing the "brawl" mode instead of the playing the campaign (since there are no updates there yet  )
