It's beta patch time!

For those new to _Slay the Spire 2_, keep in mind that these changes are pushed to our Beta branch to ensure stability, then eventually merged into the main branch. For those who play using controller, we highly recommend using the [Beta branch](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2868840/view/502852451136700758) as we're trying to resolve crashes related to selection screens when playing via controller/Steam Deck.

While our focus is still on fixing crashes and ensuring the game runs on as many hardware configurations as possible, let's look at some of this patch's highlights.

##### Bi-Weekly Patching

As you've probably noticed, we're moving to patch every 2 weeks rather than weekly as outlined in our Early Access Disclaimer. This may be a bit surprising as the first game patched weekly, but it was a lot of work so it really sucked.

Anyways, the 2-week cadence should make it less hectic for us, allowing bigger changes and more time working and polishing stuff before it goes out. It also allows more time for beta players to absorb and give feedback on changes.

##### The Bestiary

This week brings... the Bestiary! While it's still an outline of what it will end up being, we hope that seeing these monsters and their animations and data (not yet implemented) all listed in a separate screen will be fun.

_Pro Tip: Press the 1 - 8 keys when you're viewing a monster._

##### Doormaker Out, Aeonglass In

Doormaker has been replaced with a brand new boss, Aeonglass! While Doormaker had interesting micro decisions in the fight, he was over the complexity threshold of what we want and had lingering issues. We decided that starting over fresh will let us hit what we actually want for an Act 3 boss.
