Hey there everyone!

I just pushed Version 1.0.78 of Defender's Quest to the "test_public" beta branch. This version of the game has Steam Workshop support, and it'd be really swell if you could help us test it prior to its official launch a few weeks from now.

You should:

1) Opt into the "test_public" beta branch
2) Join this group: http://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/groups/LULTEST

(For now I've only updated the WINDOWS version to 1.0.78. Once it's been tested for a few days and we catch the most obvious bugs I'll work on Mac/Linux builds, too.)

To access the beta branch, right click on the Defender's Quest entry in your steam library, then select "properties." Then, select the "BETAS" tab, and pick "test_public" from the drop down menu. No password is required.

(If it doesn't re-synch, go to properties->local files->verify integrity of game cache, sometimes this works)

Anyways, once you've got version 1.0.78 (verify version # in bottom right-hand corner of title screen), you can start playing around with mods!

Here's the official guide:

I will be posting and sharing some example mods over the next few weeks, and I'd love it if you all would do so, too. If you find any bugs with mod support, please let us know, and provide this additional information:

-Your Steam username
-What your local mods directory looks like (screenshot = awesome)
-Information about mods you've shared & subscribed to

(The kinds of bugs you encounter will probably depend a lot on what mods you've installed, what you've subscribed to, etc, so the exact configuration will help me reproduce any issues)

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

BIG LIST OF THINGS TO TEST:
1) Can you create a mod?
2) Can you upload(share) a mod to Steam Workshop?
3) Can you subscribe to mods and then download/install them?
4) Can you edit and play mods?
5) Does everything seem to work like it should?

For those of you on GOG, Kongregate, etc, fear not, once we're done testing we'll update the DRM-Free version of the game as well, but of course it won't have any hooks to Steam Workshop.
