changedThere's a feedback form and discord channel linked on the main menu of the build where you can leave feedback. If you wish, you can also leave feedback in the comments of this post as well as the Steam community page for the game as I'll be monitoring those. :) Few quick notes about the build: - This is an almost finished (but not quite) version of the demo, so please expect a few rough edges that will be ironed out over the next couple of weeks. - There is NO SAVE FUNCTIONALITY in this build, so quitting out of the game will result in all progress being lost. This will of course not be the case in the demo. - The build is currently in ENGLISH ONLY. The demo will be translated to multiple languages though. - The build should take about 1 hour 15 mins to complete (based on my own testing, although your playthrough might vary). Thank you so much again for following along the dev journey of Starvester and for playtesting! Your feedback is invaluable to me and will help me make the best possible game for you all. See you all soon with more news about the full demo release (currently I'm aiming for Feb 2, but that depends on the feedback I get from the playtest!) - Shaun (dev)
