I’d like to thank everyone involved in crash testing this patch, sending bug reports and suggestions. Your help was invaluable!

If you would like to continue your saved game from Alpha 32, you can opt-in into the "Alpha 32 save compatibility" BETA branch under the game's properties in Library. Make sure to opt-out of the branch to go back to Alpha 33 when you're done!

KeeperRL Alpha 33 testing build is available

An unofficial Alpha 33 build is out on the BETA branch. Check it out if you're an experienced player and want an early glimpse of all the new stuff!

Please post your feedback in this thread or in the comments below.

If you are new to KeeperRL, it is strongly recommended that to stick to the official Alpha 32 patch for now, as this build is very unstable, and the tutorial doesn't work at the moment.

Please also note that until the patch is officially released, the save file format may change at any moment, and you saves may be lost. (although I'll do my best to avoid this).

To opt into the build, please go into the game's properties, BETA tab, and choose the "dev" branch.
