Next Fest Demo Patch Notes: 2026.0.1.12497

Gameplay & Mechanics

• Changed wheel damage to be based on speed rather than distance traveled.

• Disabled the bite interaction on the cart (it was often getting blocked by other tool interactions anyway).

• Increased the size of interaction triggers so held tools are less likely to block interactions with objects.

• Added a radius to line-of-sight checks so interactions are correctly blocked by small cracks between colliders.

• Adjusted wagon attach points.

Controls & UI

• Changed the default "Bite" binding to the Left Mouse Button.

• Changed the "Attack" binding label to "Attack/Use".

• Added the "Drop/Throw" action to the bindings menu so players can see/rebind it.

• The HUD now displays the Attack binding so players know what button to press.

• Fixed an issue where pressing Esc wouldn't exit certain menus.

Multiplayer & Networking

• The game now checks the application version during lobby searches to prevent players from connecting to incompatible versions of the game.

• Fixed an issue where players could spawn on top of each other at the same spawn point.

• The game will no longer automatically copy the multiplayer relay code to your clipboard.

Visuals & Bug Fixes

• Updated the Raccoon face graphic when exiting the game.

• Reduced the intensity of the wagon's visual vibration.

• Fixed missing font characters/glyphs in the UI by letting localized text automatically resize.

• Fixed networking issues that caused the Rubbish Bin to behave erratically or desync for clients.
