[h1][b]DLC News[/b][/h1]
Some exciting new DLC news! We have already brought Euphoria into Tabletop Simulator and now we're happy to announce that we'll also be bringing in Scythe and Viticulture! You can expect to see them in the near future.
[b]Scythe[/b] was successfully funded on [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jameystegmaier/scythe]Kickstarter[/url] with over 17,000 backers and will be officially released in its physical form in September of this year.
[i]Scythe is a board game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor.
It is a time of unrest in 1920s Europa. The ashes from the first great war still darken the snow. The capitalistic city-state known simply as “The Factory,” which fueled the war with heavily armored mechs, has closed its doors, drawing the attention of several nearby countries.[/i]

[h1][b]Future Updates[/b][/h1]
We value our community's feedback and over this past year we have implemented a lot of features and suggestions that you guys have given us. And we're still listening! Please continue to post your suggestions on our [url=http://www.berserk-games.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?18-Suggestions]official forums[/url]. Here's a teaser of what we're working on for upcoming updates.
[list]
[*] [b]Lots of bug fixes[/b] - Not a feature, but still important! We've already fixed a ton of bugs for this next update.
[*] [b]Tablet for Linux[/b] - Linux users - thanks for your patience! We're finally making good progress on getting this working for you.
[*] [b]Multiple States[/b] - This is something very exciting that can be used for all kinds of things, but a good example is in your RPGs. You have a character who is a shapeshifter - so you can combine 3 different figurines together, press a hotkey and voila, you can show whichever character needs to be shown at that moment. You can even simulate different pages/sheets with a click of a button. There's a lot of instances in which you can use this, so we think it will come in handy for everyone!
