Testing out another update. We want to launch this soon. It finishes the early half-update from a month ago, and includes a new perk, two new weapons, and a new special character!
ALSO: We're doing a poll for next big Death Road features. Vote here:

INSTRUCTIONSIMPORTANT NOTE: The testing branch and the retail version use different save files! Testing Branch saves also get cleared out on occasion.
HOW TO INSTALL: Right click Death Road to Canada on Steam. Go to Properties. Go to Betas. Select Testbranch, no password necessary.
CHANGES3/11 3 PM PST- Windows release build
3/9 10:42 AM PST- Linux and Mac builds up
3/8 9:02 PM PST- Toilet and bathroom adjustments. Let me know if you see more misbehaving toilets, this should fix many of the toilet bugs
- Bathtub hitboxes fixed. Now they will have a harder time entering walls, and you also won't be able to walk partially through big bathtubs so much
- Free ZP Robot AKA the ZP Dingus now will automatically show up in Zombotown, in both Testing Branch and Debug Mode builds
- Build name changed to FEMUR
3/7- Bow and Arrows Perk added! This will give a character a no-drop bow, which will regenerate 4/7/10 arrows when going back to the road screen, depending on level
- Special bonuses for Bow and Arrows + Specialist Trait, you get more max arrows and regenerate them twice as fast
- Special Character: Barbarian added, rare chance in trading camps
- Barbarian has a bow and arrow with 60 arrows maximum, and gets 20 arrows back per mission
- Every mission, she gets out a new weapon, with a pool of 17 different weapons for 18 total when you include her bow
- She either has +1 max strength or +1 max fitness, when recruited
- Bonesaw added, it can rarely be found in hospitals and clinics. Similar to a fireaxe, but with almost no knockdown capabilities and always cleaves an extra zombie
- Bow values tweaked. Strength and fitness make more of a difference for fatigue, fatigue is less harsh, and bows take 33% longer to draw to full power
- You can now rarely find bow and arrow sets in places with sporting and/or camping goods
- Special trading camp failure rate without City Seeker reduced from 60% to 50%
- Zombotown Rambeux has a new Haiku
- Mad Doctor Rare Trader now lets you "pick someone else" if you have 4 choices
- Some perks/traits will no longer give you a free "total heal" stat increment
