Notice Regarding Backer-Exclusive Demo Access

Previously, I mentioned plans to provide a backer-exclusive demo.

The original plan was to distribute the latest development build exclusively to backers by sending a compressed file via email.

However, I have decided to change this approach.

Instead, I plan to continue using the existing Steam demo distribution method and implement a system where backers can enter a unique backer code at the end of the currently available story content to unlock access to the next section of the game.

(In other words, regular players will reach the end of Chapter 1 and be unable to progress further, while backers will be able to continue to the next story section by entering a code provided separately.)

I would like to explain the reasoning behind this decision.

Currently, the Mistworld demo is distributed through both Steam and Stove.

If a separate backer-exclusive demo build were distributed via email, it would not be possible to take advantage of the regular update process.

Additionally, whenever a new build is released, backers would need to extract the updated files and manually locate, copy, and transfer their save files into the new game folder, which would be inconvenient.

By continuing to update the existing Steam demo and providing backers with a code that unlocks access to the latest development content, these inconveniences can be avoided.

Development of Chapter 2 is still in progress, but I will continue working as hard as possible to share new content with backers as soon as I can.

Thank you.
