Void Reaver Update 0.260304: Post-Next Fest Improvements and Balancing

Hey everyone!

The Steam Next Fest has officially concluded, and we are still processing the incredible wave of support from all of you. Your participation and feedback during the event were truly invaluable, and they have provided us with a clear roadmap for the future of the game. We are so grateful for every comment, bug report, and suggestion shared across our community channels.

Because of this amazing reception, we have decided to keep the demo live indefinitely. We will continue to release regular updates to ensure that Void Reaver reaches its full potential when we eventually launch into Early Access.

Working together with our players is the best way to make this game the best it can be, and we are excited to continue this journey with you.
