AVROPOLIS Demo Patch 1E

First of all, thank you to everyone who has tried the demo so far. A special thanks goes to those who took the time to send feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. Many of your suggestions have already been implemented in both the game and the demo, and they continue to help shape development.

I'm doing my best to keep the demo as up to date as possible while development of the full game continues. Progress on the main game is going well, and some of that progress can already be seen in the new trailer released a few days ago.

I'll continue monitoring your feedback, so please don't hesitate to get in touch. You can reach me through Discord, email, or by submitting feedback and bug reports through the game's website:
