fixedBig news, buds!Flop here, I come bearing some good news! We've pushed a hotfix, in the hopes we can reduce some of the performance issues players of our demo have been reporting... and just in time for the weekend!
changedBig news, buds!I wanted to give you a quick run down of what we've been working on. We are limited to what we can do right now, and optimisation takes time. Still, we're confident this will help people experiencing crashes on launch, and generally make the demo experience a bit smoother.
fixed⭐ Lag at launch/crashPlayers have reported a lot of lag when launching the demo. Provided you are playing above the minimum spec, this should be fixed! If you're closer to minimum spec. than recommended, we'd still suggest giving the demo a minute to warm up.
fixed⭐ Day/Night transition lagThe lag reported when transitioning from day to night should be minimised, while the lag transitioning from night to day should be fixed. The lag players have been experiencing between 9pm and 6am in-game has been improved but is still apparent.
added⭐ Additional changesWe've made some adjustments to the tutorial as some players were getting confused about the quest to fix up the house for Grumps. It should be a bit more obvious now what to do! We've also added a stone cutter outside the farm for flips and giggles.

We just want to thank everyone who's taken the time to leave feedback. You've been patient with us, and that's not gone unnoticed. We all really appreciate your support, the constructive criticism, the bug reports - and the recognition that this is a demo. It's a work in progress, and just a flavour of what Southfield is going to become.
