We're in the endgame now.

v5.11 has now progressed to a point where we feel comfortable enough to release it to our Patreon supporters for initial testing!

As with the previous Closed Betas, these versions are "highly experimental" — they are released as a reward to the people who have supported us with the intent to gather feedback, debug and balance the modpack before we release it to the public.

As such, please take time to read the information below before you choose to donate!

📚 WHAT IT CONTAINS

- Closed Beta 3 contains mostly the Wasteland District, which is in itself about 75% complete. Several large landmarks are still in their final stages, and will be rolled out in later patches. The Abyss portal has been disabled, so only the first chapter of the storyline (up to making the cure) can be completed.

- Expect to see unfinished content and/or encounter game breaking bugs, including potential save corruptions or loss of progress. We are a three-man team working in our free time, and while we try our best to test as much as possible in advance, there is no guarantee we've caught everything. We strongly recommend playing on a new save!

- If you prefer to wait for a more stable experience, further patches will be announced here and released on Patreon as we make them.

📋 HOW DO I PARTICIPATE

- The closed beta is *available to Patreon members at the Scavenger-Tier ($5) or above*. Feel free to subscribe to the tier, and unsubscribe or downgrade afterwards. Note that this means you will have to resubscribe if new patches to the closed beta are released!

Further information such as installation instructions and recommended settings can be found on Patreon.

🗺️ WHAT'S NEXT

With the launch of v5.11, our attention now turns to the long-neglected part of v5.5 — The Abyss, and the final chapter of DeceasedCraft. We have great plans for this dimension, but we are still three people, and it will take much time to bring those plans to life.

Given that, while it is still far too early to dream about a deadline for v6 (given this release was almost 2 months behind schedule!), we will try our best to aim for a final release date somewhere around Q4 of this year. No promises!

Till the final release of v6, new builds are planned to be Patreon-exclusive, and we hope you'll join us there to provide feedback as we polish the final experience as much as we can.

🎵 A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA...

DeceasedCraft now has custom district tunes composed by Jamminek (Arponax)! Do check them out on [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeP3LwFd713HT7xmEJ1YKfClxncatJ359) and give them some support!

Happy Hunting,

The DeceasedCraft Team
