First Demo Update (and a Dairy Question)

The Feed the Scorchpot demo has been live for over a week, and I’m really happy to see so many people playing and enjoying the game. Some players have already surpassed what I thought was possible in the demo. I even saw someone reach Year 46.

In just a few days, we gathered a lot of great feedback, which gave me a much clearer idea of what to focus on next. There is always more accessibility work that can make the game easier to approach.

I went back to the tutorial and addressed many of the issues new players were struggling with. I added new tooltips, clarified confusing elements, and fixed several bugs reported by players.

The demo update is now live. I hope this helps more people have fun with the game.

All of these changes are quick adjustments. There is still plenty of deeper work and balancing ahead.

Thanks to everyone for playing, and don’t let the dragon go hungry!

And one more thing…

Here’s a question I didn’t think I’d be asking: sheep or cows?

To me, sheep felt like the obvious choice for decorating the dairy tiles. They’re cute, and my favorite cheese is made from sheep’s milk (bryndza). However, some feedback suggested that sheep aren’t an obvious dairy animal for many players.

So I’d love to hear from more of you. Should we swap the sheep for cows?
