Editing Hardcore Testing BETA (section)

==Description==
'''Hardcore Testing BETA''' or '''Release v1.12''' was the twenty-fourth update to be released in Tower Defense Simulator, on the 28th of August 2020. It introduced the [[Hardcore Mode]] with the [[Accelerator]] tower, and contained many significant changes to the game. It was initially released as a normal update through a live event. However, due to the disastrous launch of the update where the game had numerous issues such as data loss and severe bugs and lag, the update was quickly reverted and instead turned into a public BETA test for the later [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]].

To access '''Hardcore Testing BETA''' you had to click on the button on the top of your screen in the lobby. There, you would get the option to join the public BETA test for the update. No progress you made in the '''Hardcore Testing BETA''' would be transferred over to the main game when the public testing was active or when it ended. However, your stats from the base game would be transferred over to the '''Hardcore Testing BETA''' upon the first time you joined.

Unlike with most updates before the [[Solar Eclipse Event]], there was an official name reserved for this update, that being the '''Hardcore Update''' for the initial update and '''Hardcore Testing BETA''' for the public BETA test. '''Release v1.12''' has been retroactively applied to this update to keep in line with the numbering scheme with the other updates.

This version encompassed two updates, the initial Release v1.12.0 update (released 28 August 2020, reverted shortly after) and the Hardcore Testing BETA (released same day as Release v1.12.0, 28 August 2020).

This version was also the first time that updates appeared on seperate devforum posts instead of being all in one devforum post.
