Steam Next Fest is officially a wrap! I am beyond grateful for your incredible support over the past week. Seeing so many of you dive deep into the demo and share your feedback has been an absolute thrill.

But... let's address the elephant in the room.

The demo had some rough edges, specifically the frustrating stuttering and lag that many of you reported. After a marathon of sleepless nights, furious debugging, and sacrificing whatever was left of my hairline, I have successfully slain the Lag Boss.

Performance Update:

  • Stuttering Fixed: Heavy optimization applied specifically to target frame drops.

  • Massive Smoothness Boost: The overall gameplay flow is now significantly smoother.

If the performance issues made you hold off or step away from the demo, I highly encourage you to jump back in and give this new version a spin!

Of course, optimization is an ongoing battle. If you run into any new bugs or have cool ideas, please drop your feedback in our Community!

Thank you again for an unforgettable Next Fest. I will keep polishing the game until the loot-and-sell loop feels absolutely flawless!

Happy Looting! View on Steam
