Updates and Changelog - June 15

Arcade Legend's Road to Next Fest 2021!

Things have been moving fast and furious inside the arcade over the last 2 months. We ran a private closed beta test and got some incredible feedback before allowing some of our Discord community exclusive access to a build of our pre-Next Fest demo. They gave us even more valuable feedback, and we've reworked entire systems within the arcade to deliver the best version of our game demo for Next Fest. Now we're ready to reveal Arcade Legend to the world! Join our growing Discord community to talk to other players, and tell us what you think of the game!

There is so much more to come, but here is what we've been working on over the last month.
