  • Bug Fixes: No more getting stuck! I’ve squashed the bug that caused issues in the Gamehub menus.

Why this matters:

Every fix in this demo is a step toward a perfect full release. I’m spending a lot of time right now making sure the VR experience and the Desktop mode feel equally polished and fun.

Try the updated demo now and let me know what you think in the forums!

See you in the swarm,

Niel
