v1.0 OPEN BETA AVAILABLE

Version 1.0 of COMPOUND is finally here, and the public release is imminent! But before the official launch, I'd like to invite early access owners of COMPOUND to try out v1.0 early to get feedback to make sure the launch is as smooth as possible. Due to the complexity of making modern games, recently there are too many buggy builds on launch day. I'd like to buck that trend with your help!

To access the version 1.0 candidate, right click on COMPOUND in your Steam library, click 'Properties,' and go to the 'BETAS' tab. From the drop-down list, please select 'v1.0 Release Candidate'

If you come across any major bugs or problems, please let me know over on the forums here on Steam and I'll look into it.

Without your constructive criticism, feedback and bug reports, COMPOUND would not be even a fraction of what it is today. Thank you all so much for supporting me and making COMPOUND possible.
