Steam Dev branch & SVN build

[Sandern]

There are two ways to access our developers build, either by opting in on the Steam "dev" beta or by downloading the SVN build.

You can view the latest changes by visiting our SVN log

Steam Dev
The Steam "dev" branch can be selected in the beta tab of the game properties. This beta branch is directly build from our SVN build daily (if there are changes) and as such might have incomplete things. If you just want to the test latest changes, this is the easiest way to go.
