In addition to cleaning up endless bugs, tightening up CPU/GPU performance, and balancing gameplay, the final cleanup portion of development is also going to include a number of features we've put off until the very end:

After that, we move onto final cleanup before releasing the game to the public. Barring setbacks, expect that update to reach closed beta in two weeks. Arena was completely gutted and rebuilt from the ground up, and as it stands is mostly complete and only lacks the inclusion of four more stages, which are already nearly done.

The new update includes a ton of balancing fixes and cleanup for Story Campaign, but primarily focuses on the new Arena Combat game mode. Our testers have just been given access to the latest version of the Madness: Project Nexus Closed Beta (v1.13.a), which means we're now counting down toward only a couple of checkpoints before full release of the game!
