Hi guys!
If you watched the stream this afternoon, you probably know what's coming to Dungeon of the Endless: the Australium update! It is free and will available today on Steam (link) to everyone who owns Dungeon of the Endless.
For your information, this Australium update for DotE is one of the rewards that you've unlocked during the recent Steam Free Weekend: it includes 4 new heroes and 5 new items from Team Fortress 2, Valve's famous cooperative game gone free to play.
Note that you can grab Dungeon of the Endless on Steam at 33% off!
MEET THE ENDLESS
"Taking a break after a particularly brutal gravel war, these four mercenaries are prospecting for the rare element Australium in the hopes of using their battle-honed skills to actually make some money. It is rumoured that there are extensive lodes of Australium across Auriga so they are exploring and tunneling, trying to find this precious resource."
Meet 4 playable characters from Team Fortress 2 with unique abilities and a hidden backstory!
Pat Bates (Pyro)
Nobody knows where this thing came from, what it thinks, or why it does what it does. Eager researchers who interview Bates tend to either quickly change their area of study -- or go mad themselves.
Kaspar Herab (Medic)
Kaspar did, at some point, receive some form of medical training. The duration, sobriety, and quality of that training -- and whether or not it pertained to human beings -- is highly questionable. Herab's eagerness to demonstrate it, however, is not.
Dell Bradford (Engineer)
Dell is a misplaced transdimensional copy of a non-existent being from a pseudo-reality. Fortunately, he is also a skilled engineer with at least eleven hard science PhDs so minor questions concerning the nature of reality don't bother him much.
Misha Cherny (Heavy)
Misha comes from a very cold gulag in a very cold place; much of his reputation stems from the fact that though he and his sisters escaped, none of the guards did. This experience has not affected the warmth of his personality, though it should be noted that the degree of warmth is directly proportional to the number of dead enemies.
NEW ITEMS
Your heroes will now be able to equip 5 new items from Team Fortress 2 that will add rare passive skills to their owners...
Tower of Hats
Tarnish it notte, presumptuous one.
Gas Mask
A highly effective defence against anything from flatulation to the most toxic nerve gas. The only drawback is that the mask’s active ingredient causes idyllic, pastoral hallucinations.
Dove
The only flying animal not yet eaten by the dungeon inhabitants, Archimedes stays safely in the pocket of whoever is carrying it.
jPad
One letter better than its famous predecessor, this hand-held marvel contains optimised solutions for the materials, project plans, and techniques of module construction.
Sandvich
Not considered edible by most sentient beings, this snack requires teeth capable of chewing gravel. On the plus side, it tastes like vodka.
RELEASE NOTES
- Added 4 new heroes
- Misha Cherny, a heavy guy with a heavy weapon. And a sandvish.
- Dell Bradford, an engineer who is not afraid to repair under fire!
- Kaspar Herab, a medic with some useful knowledge
- Pat Bates, an innocent pyromaniac with a burning love
- Added 5 new items with passive skills (Sandvish, Gas Mask, Dove, jPad, Tower of Hats)
- Improved memory use
- Fixed an issue where the operator lost his bonus during an attack in multiplayer
- Fixed an issue where the floor could not be finished
In Single-player, you might have to restart at the beginning of your floor. In Multiplayer, you might have to restart the whole pod. If you want to finish your game in MP, we suggest you to use a previous version of the game. To access that version, you will have to select in the Steam properties of Dungeon of the Endless, the 'Betas' tab, then select the [1.0.63] version.
Now go and have fun, and share with us your screenshots of TF2 characters in the dungeon either in the comments section below, Twitter or Facebook! 
Sincerely,
