A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

We're just about done with our update, which improves multiplayer connectivity primarily by allowing players to join games in progress. We've been testing it in-house for the last week, but as you can imagine with only 4 developers it gets a little hard to conduct a proper multiplayer test. We're looking for volunteers to participate in a wider multiplayer beta test on Tuesday, April 1, from 4-6pm Pacific Time (and no, it's not an April Fools gag :-) ). Of course you'd be welcome to play the beta before and after that but that's when we're trying to get as many people playing as possible. We a
