New Kristala Demo Now LIVE[/h2][p][/p][p]We're excited to share that a brand new version of the Kristala Demo is now officially live! This new version still includes the first half of Chapter I up through the boss fight against Lophi the Lost, but now better reflects the overall state of the game.[/p][p][/p][p]So, what's new in the new demo? We're glad you asked![/p][p][/p]

• [p]Overall Performance Improvements: The same performance and optimization fixes detailed above can be found in this new demo.[/p]
• [p]Menu / UI Overhaul: Now the demo's menu systems and UI reflect the same improvements made to our Early Access build. Cleaner, smoother, and more intuitive.[/p]
• [p]Simplified Chinese Localization: We've recently localized the game for Simplified Chinese, and now you'll find this language option available for on-screen text in the demo, too.[/p]
• [p]Smarter AI:  Enemies are even more responsive and strategic in combat, and we’ve further finetuned their awareness, attack patterns, and overall behavior.[/p]
• [p]Performance Boosts in Character Creation:  We’ve optimized the backend of the Character Creator for faster load times, better stability, and a more seamless customization experience.[/p]
• [p]Spell Previews in Character Creation:  To help choose your path more confidently, all spells in the Character Creator now include animated video previews to show them in action before you commit.[/p]
• [p]General Bug Fixes:  From enemy animations to overall polish, we’ve squashed bugs to ensure a smoother, more immersive experience across the board.[/p]
