[2021] Game could use an experimental branch

Such a branch exists, but you have to join Discord and be a good community member.

Like I said if you want to take part, join the Discord. Be a helpful community member, and you could possibly receive an invite. But, unfortunately, the branch is not available on Steam, nor is it available for download.

The folks taking part in the experimental branch submit plenty of negative feedback and are by no means "yes-men".

For clarification: There are 2 test branches.

Public Test Branch, access for everyone. You get the code and instructions on Discord.

Private Test Branch, access only for verified and invited users.

The private testers (called "Protovikings") test major updates under NDA, the public testers can only test "normal" patches.
