Latest Build
Mike has informed the team that he feels this Saturday he will be able to wrap up the code rewrite and we'll be able to get out a new build to the testers with a lot of improvements and additions. Speaking of testers....
Beta Testing
We're going to be pulling more testers into the fold as we tune the mod more and more towards being as user friendly and accessible as possible. Therefore, we've opened up our Steam Community and are asking anyone interested in playtesting Berimbau to join up. We'll be inviting players directly from the Steam Community to test the game.

Addendum - We've reached around 50 testers now and are interested in doubling that number, so if you want to try out Berimbau early and give us your feedback to help shape the game, join the Steam Community!
