Improvements to minigames, interface revamp, optimizations and more!

The game has magically reduced in size by a whopping 50mb this update and we honestly have no clue what happened, kinda scary... During testing we couldn't find anything missing, so let's hope nothing important is gone! It's probably just some Unreal Engine weirdness. However; if something big is missing, now you know what caused it! 😂

Next demo update will probably be the last one in a while, as we plan to focus on the full game again. Make sure to join our Discord to get all the news!

Rebalanced Disco Disorder to be slightly easier. Added a simple placeholder tutorial. Happy Next Fest!

We added a simple placeholder tutorial for the time being because we noticed many players didn't figure out that they could adjust their camera, which is something we recommend doing every minigame! Try figuring out what camera set-up works best for you per minigame, and you will have much more fun in them!

Here are our personal camera tips:

• Try Frantic Forces in first person, or a big camera distance, so you can always see all crates!
  
• Try Blazing Bullets on max camera distance so you can see the bullets coming from behind you!
  
• Try Disco Disorder on max camera distance top-down for the best overview of the floor!
  

PS: You might notice a small FPS decrease this update. It's because the Mub in the bottom left is now animated. If you want to instantly return to pre-0.0.2 FPS, you can toggle 'Animated Previews' off in the Video settings.

Welcome to all the new Next Fest players! Hope you have fun!
