Repeated intro

Hey everyone, Thank you all for the lovely reception on the Parks and Peeks update. We love to see that more people are enjoying the direction Descenders Next is going and we're already looking forward to the new update that will bring Crew Members to the game! Unfortunately there were some issues that we're happy to address with this new hotfix. We've also added a new mechanic to the game. Instead of automatically leaning/going into a manual with the Left Stick forward and back, you'll need to press RT as well. This is also to prevent newer players to go into unwanted leaning, making it difficult to steer. If you don't like the change don't worry, you can change it in the gameplay settings! Another thing we did is make the tutorial slightly easier and also including a little introduction to grinding before throwining you into the deep. Hope you like these minor changes that should make it smoother to get into the gameplay. Here's the changelog: [c]0.4.85 - 2026-05-15[/c] Added
