Next steps:

This is gonna be the final demo update for a bit (aside from bug fixes). Why? Now that I've gotten a bunch of feedback on the game (thanks to 1-2 new streamers playing the game per day) I have made a plan of what to do next and when. I'll not publicly commit to any hard dates just yet but my goal is to release another chunky demo update within a few weeks to release. The game is already a bit further advanced than what you see in the demo and I'm currently working on laying foundations for a bunch of really cool features that I want to add. Currently working on some really HOT stuff ;) I'll post regular dev updates here, aiming for roughly a weekly cadence. And if you want to chat about the game and maybe tease out some more secrets, join the Discord! Link in game and on the Store page. Ben
