Experimental Branch Recap

Releasing Update 3 on the experimental branch early has been a huge success! About 10% of our daily playerbase has been playing on the experimental branch, which is more than we have expected. It’s great to see that there is interest in preview versions. Even though FOUNDRY is already in Early Access, an experimental branch allows sharing even earlier versions, which in turn has a big potential of increasing the final update quality.

We have received a lot of feedback including some bug reports, and we’re now taking appropriate actions to fine-tune and improve things. The experimental branch will continue to receive updates until the final release on Jan 21st.

Given the success this experiment has been, we will be trying to put future update releases also on the experimental branch, however this may not always be possible due to time constraints. We will definitely do it with the trains itself, but I cannot yet guarantee it for the full update 4 content.

We expect the trains to go on experimental very soon after we release Update 3 and will have more information on the next FOUNDRY Friday in two weeks.

Cheers, -mrmcd
