Hey Dudes! We didn’t make a big post about it because we didn’t have anything new to show to anyone who’d already played Infernax, but a couple of the team headed to PAX West this year to set up the ol’ living room and drink some Capri Suns. It was only the second time we’d really had a chance to talk to anyone in person since the game launched in February, so a big thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by to tell us about their experiences playing the game, and to everyone who came and checked out the demo for the first time. Getting to talk to people about our games in person is one of the highlights of making games at all honestly.

It’s basically a time-capsule of the game at v1.01.011, before we launched the last major update with all the bug-fixes and accessibility options. We realized it would be nice to make it easily available for anyone who [i](for whatever reason)[/i] preferred the old build, but also for those who invested the time into learning that version for Speedrunning. One of the things we were really surprised by after the launch of the game was the support of the speedrunning community, and we’re super grateful that anyone liked our game enough to spend a truly impressive amount of time playing and analyzing to optimize their runs. We figured the least we could do was make it possible for anyone who didn’t want to learn the post-updated version’s new quirks be able to stick to the older version they prefer. [h3]BIG IMPORTANT NOTE: We absolutely can’t be sure there won’t be issues with your save files when you switch between versions of the game. So player beware here. Make sure you’re not attached to any save files before you start switching to and from the beta branch all willy nilly. Don't say we didn't warn you, it's happening, right here, right now. [/h3] If you don’t know how to activate a beta branch on steam, here’s a quick, handy, "high-quality" visual guide: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35741385/0c87656ca1f8ed2213ec8f8ca42544edd62dfc43.png[/img] 1. Right click on Infernax in your games list to open the game properties. 2. Once the window pops up, head to the the option marked "Betas" in the left-hand list. [i][REMBEMBER TO READ THE NOTE ABOUT SAVE FILES FIRST][/i] 3. In the drop down menu, select "backup" to swap over to the older branch. 4. Infernax. [h2]SGDQ Speedrun: [/h2] Speaking of speedrunning, if you missed it, there was a great run of Infernax during this year’s Summer Games Done Quick by DantheVIP, with really awesome commentary from SaberaMesia. The whole team had a good time watching someone do things to our game we didn’t intend and could not have foreseen, all in the service of the almighty speedrun.

We’ll have some news coming up fairly soon about content updates, we’re still working away over here so we will keep you looped in once we’re able to talk about it! Take It Easy, -Berzerk Team
